PLEASE HELP ME TODAY
For the last 19 years, Lwiro Primates Rehabilitation Center (LPRC) has been providing a safe home for orphaned chimpanzees in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Center was founded in 2002, to provide a shelter for the animal victims of a brutal civil war that resulted in both wildlife and humanitarian atrocities. Today, LPRC takes care of 103 chimpanzees. Most of these are orphaned; seized and rescued as babies from poachers as a byproduct of the bushmeat trade. Some of the rescued chimpanzees are also victims of the cruel pet trade. Turning away orphans in need is just NOT an option.
I have been fortunate enough to visit Lwiro and witness, first hand, the astonishing transformation of a scared and traumatized individual into a happy, healthy chimpanzee and how this is what keeps the Lwiro team fighting.
Today (12 October 2021) is Giving Day for Apes - this is a friendly competition to raise awareness and financial support for more than 35 qualified sanctuaries throughout Africa, Asia and North America. Today I have partnered with Lwiro to help them to continue to make a difference in the future of chimps in the wild.
I ask you to please join me today 😁🙏 How can you do this?

In order for these chimpanzees to fully recover, they need specialized care and comfort around the clock - which has an associated to cost. The skilled and compassionate team at LPRC provide the chimpanzees with everything they need to grow into the great apes they were destined to be - lets help them TODAY!
