Each One, Teach One
What is Each One, Teach One?
Each One, Teach One is a Wassmuth Center donor-funded program that creates mutual learning opportunities between Center travelers and community members living in the villages surrounding Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique.
Gorongosa National Park is perhaps Africa’s greatest wildlife restoration story. In 2008, the Government of Mozambique and the Carr Foundation (Gorongosa Restoration Project), a US nonprofit organization, signed a 20-year Public-Private Partnership for the joint management of the Park. On June 7, 2018, the Government of Mozambique signed an extension of the joint management agreement of Gorongosa National Park for another 25 years.
By adopting a 21st-century conservation model of balancing the needs of wildlife and people, the Gorongosa Restoration Project is protecting and saving this beautiful wilderness, returning it to its rightful place as one of Africa’s greatest parks.

Each One, Teach One began when a delegation traveling on one of the Center’s annual Cultural Encounters retraced Nelson Mandela’s steps in South Africa, then spent several days in Gorongosa. Meeting the community members motivated the group to make a difference. Since that initial encounter, we’ve returned to Gorongosa National Park with several more delegations.

"The trip to Gorongosa exceeded all expectations. Of course, watching wild elephants, lions, and other wild animals up close was exciting, but it was the people who really made the trip special. Meeting the locals who work in the park, and visits with children and teachers at surrounding villages and schools made the experience unforgettable. Learning about the history and mission of the park was inspiring. And the sunsets . . . WOW!”
