This Wills Week (15–19 September), write your story into Africa’s wild story.

Why Your Will Matters

Writing a Will is one of the most important steps you can take. A Will protects your loved ones, reduces stress and costs at a difficult time, and ensures your wishes are honoured. Yet, more than half of South Africans still don’t have one.

While National Wills Week (15–19 September) offered a perfect chance to take action with free Will-drafting services, it’s never too late to create or update your Will. Protecting your loved ones and securing your legacy is important all year round.

Need help finding a participating law firm? Our team can connect you with trusted partners who are offering free Will-drafting services during Wills Week.

The Power of a Legacy

Your Will can do more than protect your family. It can protect the wildlife and wild places that define Africa.

By leaving a bequest to the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT), whether during Wills Week or at any time of year, you carry your love of nature forward. Your legacy becomes a promise that the endangered species and habitats you care about today will thrive for generations to come.

How Your Legacy Lives On

Every bequest makes a lasting difference:

• Safeguarding species: From Amphibians and Reptiles to African Wild Dogs. Vultures, Cranes, and Cheetahs.
• Conserving habitats: Wetlands, grasslands, rivers, and open spaces protected forever.
• Inspiring generations: Each bequest is honoured in our Memory Forest, where an indigenous tree is planted as a living tribute to your legacy, a place for family and friends to reflect, heal, and celebrate life.
