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.

ANNIVERSARY BOOK

40 years of unwavering commitment!

To mark the anniversary, we have published the large-format paperback "CHIMFUNSHI - 40 Years Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage" with over 40 glossy chimpanzee photos, numerous historical documents, letters and diary excerpts from Chimfunshi's eventful history.


We show how the unique commitment of Sheila and David Siddle laid the foundations for the largest sanctuary for chimpanzees that no longer have a natural home. We document the fates of individual animals and the threats to which our closest relatives are still exposed today. The book vividly shows how the taking in of the first injured baby chimpanzee turned into a comprehensive animal protection and education project in four decades.

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.
