Great Holiday Gift: Sponsor a Chimpanzee at IDA-Africa

IDA-Africa’s Chimpanzee Sponsorship Program offers a unique gift-giving opportunity that truly makes a difference. Sponsoring a chimpanzee this holiday season is a present that keeps giving year-round by contributing to the ongoing care of a chimpanzee at Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center. This allows you to make a special connection with one of the sanctuary’s residents while helping to save endangered great apes.

View photos and bios of the chimpanzees in the sponsorship program and donate today. All proceeds go directly to support the chimpanzees and donations are tax deductible.
