There are 120 chimps in a forested enclosure in Chimfunshi’s space. More specifically, there are four chimps which we refer to the Escape Artists. These four chimps are in small perimeters which are not as natural to their environment. We are raising funds to support the extension of the purpose-built enclosure.
In partnership with Chimfunshi, your funds will support the expansion, the fence and the electric system. This expansion of 30 kilometers to the existing enclosure will impact the four chimps by extending their health, wellness and life span.
This past week, we held a fundraiser with the kids in the community. The kids even donated 1Kwacha towards the event and are now challenging our friends and family to donate $1, £1 or €1 towards this special project. Even though we are still working towards our final goal in order to start the expansion and are appreciative for your support thus far. We are also excited for you to be a part of our journey and cannot thank you enough for all of your support.
