WHO WE ARE

Chimfunshi e.V. is a non-profit conservation organisation dedicated to protecting endangered chimpanzees and supporting the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage in Zambia. Together we have created the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in the world, protecting 10,000 hectares of land. Chimfunshi provides employment, housing, access to clean water, education and training, and basic medical care for the people of the region.  We also work in schools in Germany to inspire children to protect species and the environment.

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 the oldest chimpanzee sanctuaries in the world, taking in endangered chimpanzees from all over the world and caring for them for the rest of their lives. Chimfunshi is also one of the last places in Zambia's Copperbelt region where wildlife is protected. Zambian wildlife is rescued, rehabilitated and released on thousands of hectares of land.

 

Chimfunshi aims to create a living space for the local community that provides an attractive and sustainable livelihood through diverse and secure jobs, education and health services, and a stable infrastructure.
