Adopt a Chimp program
Would you like to help care for orphaned and rescued chimpanzees by becoming a guardian?
CHIMPANZEE TRUST is a Non-Government Organization (NGO) with a mission “to sustainably conserve chimpanzees in their natural habitat and provide optimum captive care to those who cannot survive in the wild.”
Chimpanzee Trust manages Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, a home to 50 orphaned and rescued chimpanzees in the heart of Lake Victoria. The welfare of the chimpanzees in our care is our primary objective, however providing the chimpanzees with all the food, shelter, medical care and love is only possible thanks to the generosity of trustees, donors, and other supporters.
The Guardianship program not only gives you the opportunity to help chimpanzees in need, but also recognizes your generosity.
