Did you know that the Lwiro Primate Rehabilitation Centre, CRPL, Lwiro Primates employs 54 local people in the form of caretakers, vets, security staff, kitchen staff, cleaners and others?
They all receive a monthly salary, health care for themselves and their families, plus a meal at the centre every day.
This, which seems trivial to us in the West, is not so in developing countries, where sometimes people (even children) can only have access to one meal a day.
This human group does its best, together with the expatriate staff, to keep the more than 200 primates housed in the centre as well as possible, but occasionally they suffer the loss of some of those who have been admitted in very bad condition or have fallen ill once there, as was the case with little “Tshopo”, who did not make it.
The sum of the monthly expenditure on salaries for the local staff amounts to around 5,600 euros.
That is why it is so important for us at SOS Primates to help.
With a gesture as simple as asking for a T‑shirt for a donation of 10 euros, you are helping these orphans and also the local community.
People like Manolín and his family, Sol and Marc or Silvia have already collaborated with us and at the same time they participate in the contest that we explain here.
