What our partners say
smbg has shown a large commitment to the rhino crisis in South Africa. They have massively helped our organisation with purchasing more weapons for our Anti-poaching teams on the ground, they take a very personal interest in conservation. Not only have they helped us with donations but are great for us to have on board when it comes to general business advice, they have helped us improve the way our NPO approaches corporate companies. We are grateful for the never ending support.
