Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage Trust

Our Mission: animal, nature and emviornmental conservation for our nearest relatives and help-to-self-help for the people at Chimfunshi
In 1989, Stephan Louis founded Chimfunshi Verein zum Schutz bedrohter Umwelt e.V., a non-profit organisation with the aim of supporting the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage.

The German charity ‘Chimfunshi Verein zum Schutz bedrohter Umwelt e.V’ (Chimfunshi Association for the Protection of Threatened Environments) commits itself to the protection of endangered chimpanzees and supports the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage Trust in Zambia.

Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage Trust in Zambia, and the Chimfunshi e.V in Germany, work together to preserve and develop Chimfunshi’s environmentally important conservation area within the framework of a general concept.  This involves, on the one hand, protection of the chimpanzee species by providing a home to poached and orphaned chimpanzees and on the other, to protecting and conserving the indigenous environment and its flora and fauna. The protection of the natural environment and its fauna and flora is an important part of the holistic concept of Chimfunshi – as is the support and development of the local community, including provision of child & adult education and training, employee career development; and health care to Chimfunshi’s local community.
