About us

With more than thirty years of successful philanthropic achievement in scholar education, community development and wildlife conservation, the Spirit Foundation stands as a beacon of generosity and compassion ignited by the visionary Kilbride family. Now in our fourth decade of doing good, we look forward to many more years of transformative impact.

Since our inception, the Spirit Foundation has been a catalyst for change, empowering scholars, communities and wildlife conservation, championing worthy causes with unparalleled fervour. 

At the heart of our journey lies the Spirit Foundation Education Programme, a cornerstone of opportunity that has guided scholars from underserved communities in their early childhood development stage all the way through to their high school education, paving the way for a brighter future.

The Spirit Foundation Community Programme has served as a vibrant hub of upliftment, embracing diverse initiatives. From grassroots community projects to initiatives fostering social justice and equality, this programme has been the driving force behind countless stories of empowerment and resilience.

The Spirit Foundation Wildlife Programme stands as a testament to our enduring commitment to conservation and stewardship of our planet’s precious biodiversity. For decades, the Wildlife Programme has led the charge in assisting with the rescuing, feeding and rehabilitation of endangered species, with a special focus on safeguarding the majestic rhinoceros and other endangered species from the brink of extinction.

As we reflect on our journey, we are deeply rooted in gratitude for the humble beginnings that shaped our path. From a small town in Lancashire, England, to global outreach and impact, the Spirit Foundation’s legacy is a testament to the power of compassion and collective action. We acknowledge gratefully too, the invaluable support provided by our donors, large and small and from all walks of life.
