The Tony and Lisette Lewis Foundation
South Africa (TLLF) was created by a deed of trust by the late
Anthony Calvert Lewis on April 21 1994. His wife, the late Elizabeth
Helen Lewis, gave her complete support to the project and both
nominated the Foundation as the ultimate residual beneficiary
of the estates.
The purpose behind the establishment of the Foundation was fundamental
to their underlying hope, that the present and future generations
of South Africans would not only enjoy the pleasures of the
beauty of this land and its abundance of wildlife, but also
provide encouragement and support for the proper care of domestic
animals. In short the TLLF is structured to provide funding
for all aspects of nature conservation and animal protection
activities.
Tony and Lisette passed away within nine months of each other
and the Foundation was vested from the 30 April 1995, and shortly
thereafter the trustees commenced setting up operations. This
generous legacy of the Lewis family will enable the TLLF to
make substantial and ongoing contributions to the country's
conservation programmes.
The
Tony and Lizette Lewis Foundation has been a proud funder of
WWF, the conservation organisation, for many years.
WWF is the world’s
largest independent conservation organisation, a truly global
network operating in around 100 countries. In South Africa, WWF
focuses on the prevention of
degradation of our natural environment, the conservation of
biodiversity and the sustainable use of our natural resources.
By working with people, together we will change behaviour and
leave a living planet.
