The Chimfunshi Wildlife Sanctuary Primate Project

Why the Chimfunshi Wildlife Chimpanzee Orphanage?
In the words of Shelia Siddle, Co Founder Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, ‘Because these aren’t just animals to Dave and I. They are precious individuals who came to us in a time of need and allowed us to help them, who had the nobility and strength of character to permit us to get close. I often say they forgive us and I believe it’s true’.

Our Previous Project - Chimpanzee Enclosure
The enclosure for Sandy and his friends is now underway and hopefully they will all be moved in over the next few weeks. Quite unexpectedly the funding for this fully enclosed enclosure came from another source, and that means that we now have the opportunity to fundraise for another needed Chimfunshi project. It will make such a significant difference to these chimpanzees that can now venture outside, some for the first time in many years. Thank you to all those who donated their time and money in this project.

Current Project - "Bachelors' Home"...

The Problem:
But this isn’t the end of a new enclosure being required and so we are now raising money for a new ‘Bachelors’ home.
The bachelors including Charles are a group of rowdy male chimpanzees that reside together at Chimfunshi. Unfortunately just like humans, there are always some that bully others. The saddest part of this situation is that those who are bullied have to be locked inside so that they remain separated, as this is the only way to stop the fighting. If money were no barrier Chimfunshi would have all of their chimpanzees living in large outdoor enclosures. Sadly this is not the case but with your support you can help Chimfunshi provide the quality of life they believe all animals deserve, especially these amazing animals whose intelligence astounds everyone who has the privilege of spending time with them.

The Solution:
Save the Primates, with your help, want to build a new enclosure for the chimpanzees who spend every day locked up. You can help...
