We did it. 🦍💚

Thanks to your incredible generosity during Giving Day for Apes, we have raised over $36,000, fully funding not one but two brand new veterinary buildings here at Ape Action Africa. We are completely overwhelmed by the support and honestly could not be more grateful to every single person who donated, shared and cheered us on.

This means everything to our vet team and to every primate in our care.

Speaking of our vet team, meet Dr Sharon. When we asked him how he wanted to mark the occasion, he had a pretty clear answer. Dr Sharon has been dancing for 5 years, always learning, always practising, and today he wanted to share that with you as his own way of saying thank you.

We think that says it all. 💚🕺

We are overwhelmed. 💚

Today you did not just reach our goal, you smashed through it. This morning we set out to fund our new vet laboratory. By tonight, thanks to you, we have raised enough for that and for a dedicated food preparation building too.

Two vital buildings for our vet clinic, funded in a single day. We can hardly believe it.

This is what your kindness makes possible. Real buildings, real care, and a real difference to every primate who depends on us.

There are still a few hours left tonight, and every further gift takes us a step closer to the full veterinary complex we are building, piece by piece. If you would like to be part of today, there is still time.

From all of us here, and from every primate in our care, thank you. 💚

Today is the day. 💚

Giving Day for Apes is live, and we have some incredible news. Thanks to your support, we have already reached our goal and fully funded our new laboratory for the vet clinic. We are blown away.

So today, we are going further. We have set a new goal to build a dedicated food preparation building, a clean, purpose made space where our vets prepare the food our primates take their medication in. It is a vital part of how care is actually delivered here, and it is the next step in building a full vet complex at the sanctuary.

For 24 hours only, you can help us build something lasting for every primate in our care.

Congratulations to our September employee of the month, Doba Taiwe Laurent! 🌿💚

Laurent is one of our dedicated chimpanzee caregivers here at Ape Action Africa, and this month he has shown exactly what it means to show up for the primates in his care every single day. Well deserved, Doba. Thank you for everything you do. 🐒

And while we have you, Giving Day for Apes is just 3 days away. This year we are raising money to build a dedicated laboratory for our vet team here at the sanctuary. Faster results, better care, for every primate in our hands. Early giving is still open and you can donate directly here: www.givingdayforapes.org/organization/Ape-Action 💚

Caesar, starting his morning the right way.💚

Moments like this are what we work for every single day.
Caesar and every other resident here at Ape Action Africa deserve the very best care, and that is exactly what we are fighting for this Giving Day for Apes.

Early giving is still open, and the main event is less than a week away on 6th October. This year we are raising money to build a dedicated laboratory for our vet team, so they can run tests on site and get results faster when our residents need it most.

Head to the link in our bio to donate. 💚

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Iwayang has passed away. 💚

Many of you have followed Iwayang since he arrived at Ape Action Africa early last year, and we know this news will be felt by so many of you. It has been felt deeply by all of us here, and especially by the caregivers who loved him and cared for him every single day.

Iwayang arrived with underlying health complications, which we believe may have been genetic or linked to his early development. Despite everything our team did to give him the best possible chance, it was ultimately these that took him from us.

He was safe here. He was loved here. And in the time he had with us, he knew what it was to be cared for, to explore, and to simply be a chimpanzee.

Rest easy, little one. 💚

Here at Ape Action Africa we are marking it thinking about all of the gorillas in our care, but one in particular has been on our minds this year. Parry.

Earlier this year Parry broke his leg, his recovery did not go to plan, and two surgeons flew from the UK to give him a second chance. He fought through every step of it, and today he is back in the forest, eating his ground nuts, living his life.

Parry is one of almost 300 primates in our care, each with their own story, each deserving exactly that same second chance.

On World Gorilla Day, if you want to do something for gorillas like Parry, you can support our Giving Day for Apes campaign. Early giving is open now and every donation goes directly towards building a laboratory for our vet team here at the sanctuary.

Behind every number is a face. 💚

We talk a lot about the lab we are building, the samples, the waiting, the days that pass before results come back. But this is who it is really for.

Every gorilla, chimpanzee and monkey in our care arrived here having lost something. Their family, their forest, their freedom. What they found instead was a second chance, and a team who would do anything to keep them safe and well.

A laboratory here at the sanctuary means when one of them falls ill, we can act faster. It means less waiting, quicker treatment, and more good days for the ones who depend on us entirely.

That is why this matters. Not for the building, but for them.

Early giving is open now, ahead of Giving Day for Apes on 6 October. Every gift helps us give them the care they deserve.

Can you help? 👇🏻
