Wee Plant JOY is a conservation-driven organization devoted to nurturing connections between people, places, and the planet. Guided by our mission to plant seeds of joy through hands-on action, we design programs and eco tours that allow supporters to witness their direct impact in the very communities and wild spaces we serve.
This marks our very first Eco Tour, a one-of-a-kind adventure across South Africa where you’ll not only explore breath-taking landscapes but also meet Harry and Sally—the elephants whose joyful reunion you made possible after years of separation due to devastating droughts. In May 2025, Harry finally came home, greeted by Sally and their herd, thanks to the compassion of supporters like you.
Our journeys do more than reconnect elephant families; each eco tour funds opportunities for young adults and students passionate about conservation. Tour proceeds help rising leaders pursue studies or practical experience in wildlife protection, creating a ripple effect of learning and stewardship that lasts for generations. This is how we keep joy, learning, and conservation entwined. Join us to write the next chapter of joy, hope, and healing—for all of our animal friends, the land, and the communities at the heart of our mission. Your adventure will shape a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
