An adult chimpanzee consumes 5kg of food (fruit and vegetables, among other things) each day. Now imagine multiplying that by the 98 chimpanzees living at the centre, although many of them are small, like Tongo in the photo, and you may think this reduces costs. The little ones drink milk made with baby formula, and Lwiro Primates spoils them with a bit of extra food.
That’s why any help is gratefully received. Become an SOS Primates teamer for €1/month or get this tablet case handmade at Heri Kwetu Disabled Women’s Centre in the Congo, for a donation of €22.
