KATE Gilman Williams

At age 7 Kate went on safari in South Africa. Kate learned from her game driver, Michelle Campbell, about African animals, their habitats, and the dangers they face from humans every single day. Kate could not believe that humans were killing animals for sport and for body parts. Kate decided to take action.

Over the next 5 years, Kate wrote a book, partnered with Project 15 from Microsoft, created a song and a music video, and became the first Youth Ambassador for Born Free USA to help inspire her generation to advocate for endangered animals.

Kate founded Kids Can Save Animals to help her generation turn their natural love for animals and the planet into advocacy.

Kate and Michelle teamed up to write “Let’s Go On Safari” to spread awareness about animal conservation, life in the African bush, and inspire people everywhere to advocate for animals facing extinction.

100% of sales are donated to The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the Jane Goodall Institute, and Global Wildlife Conservation for animal protection and anti-poaching efforts.

Kids Can Save Animals

When I was on my book tour in 2019, I met kids from all over. Two emotions were consistent – love and anger. I noticed a pattern when I was talking to them:

“We love animals! How can humans kill animals? This is wrong.”

“I didn’t know I could be an animal advocate!”

I founded Kids Can Save Animals to help my generation turn their natural love for animals and our planet into advocacy. I believe that advocacy has no age limit. And the truth is, it is up to my generation to fix big things. So let’s go!
