WHO WE ARE

Chimfunshi e.V. is committed to the protection of endangered chimpanzees and supports the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage in Zambia. It is the largest sanctuary for chimpanzees that no longer have a natural home. Over 150 chimpanzees and numerous local wild animals are cared for and looked after here. About 70 staff members and their families live on the premises. Chimfunshi provides them with work, housing, medical care and runs a school for more than 220 local children.

CHIMP SPONSORSHIP

Become a chimp sponsor today!

Support the work of the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage in Zambia and help us to save even more chimpanzees in need. With a sponsorship starting at 10€ per month or 120€ per year you cover a part of the costs for care and medical treatment of one chimpanzee. With this you can give an abused chimpanzee a species-appropriate habitat from the comfort of your own home!

As a chimp sponsor you will receive a certificate and information about your sponsored chimpanzee at least once a year. You can also give a sponsorship as a gift and make the recipient and a chimpanzee happy. Show your solidarity with our closest relatives!

The most wonderful place on earth.

MORE THAN AN ORPHANAGE

Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage is one of only three orphanages in Africa that takes in endangered chimpanzees from around the world and cares for them for life. Chimfunshi is also one of the last places in Zambia's Copperbelt region where fauna and flora are protected. On Chimfunshi's thousands of hectares of land, Zambian wildlife is rescued, rehabilitated and released.

And Chimfunshi provides housing and access to medical care for hundreds of people who work for the project or live nearby. Thousands of children are made aware of nature and species conservation at Chimfunshi each year.
