CSWCT Ngamba Island

 

Their Second Chance is Now at Risk. Together we Can Protect It.

For 54 chimpanzees, Ngamba Island is more than a sanctuary—it's a miracle. Torn from their families by poachers and the illegal pet trade, each one arrived with a story of loss. Here, on 95 acres of protected forest, they were given a second chance to live freely, form families, and heal.

They spend their days climbing trees, foraging for food, and building bonds, living the life that was almost stolen from them. We promised them a lifetime of safety, care, and family.

But today, that promise is under threat.

The rising cost of living is creating a crisis for our sanctuary. The price of nutritious food and essential veterinary care has skyrocketed. Most critically, our dedicated caregivers the trusted humans our chimps rely on every single day are being forced to seek work elsewhere just to support their own families.

Losing these skilled, compassionate staff would be devastating to the chimpanzees who trust them.

On this Giving Day for Apes, we must raise $40,000 to secure their future. Your gift will directly counter these rising costs. It will put food in their bowls, provide vital medicine, and ensure the caregivers they love can stay by their side.

On behalf of the 54 souls who depend on us, thank you for your generosity.
