18-year-old Jenory Ganuses from Kamanjab is one of the recipients of Ultimate Safaris’ non-profit, the Conservation Travel Foundation’s, SIGNAL FAMILY bursary scheme, which was set up in conjunction with the Singer family from New Zealand who travelled with Ultimate Safaris 6 years ago.

Jenory first showed her potential while in grade 5 at the Grootberg Primary School in the Khoadi-//Hoes Conservancy in the Kunene Region and was subsequently awarded a bursary to attend a private high school to further develop that potential reach her full potential.

Jenory was accepted into Windhoek Gymnasium in 2021 as a boarder, with full access to after-care, and extra-curricular activities, and after adjusting to the new lifestyle and schooling techniques, started to make friends and got involved in both athletics and netball.

She is now in grade 11 and has improved on her schooling year in and year out, while also excelling in Netball, playing for the first team and having had the opportunity to go on multiple sports trips to South Africa and across the country.

Jenory has shown a major interest in tourism after completingh an in-service project at Ultimate Safaris’ Galton House guest house in Windhoek in 2024, and she has elected to study this as one of her matric subjects.

The SIGNAL FAMILY bursary, which has paid out around N$ 1 million for Jenory’s education over the past 5 years, covers everything from tuition, boarding, transport, private medical aid, sports costs, and uniform to extra tuition fees to catch up to the private school syllabus, etc. Funding has also recently been committed to extend the support being offered to her to allow her to attend tertiary education and further her studies.
