Day in and day out, our team in eastern DRC feeds, treats, and protects 130 endangered eastern chimpanzees — rescued from poachers and wildlife traffickers, in the middle of an active conflict zone.

Today, we're giving you a new way to be part of that work.The Lwiro Primates merch store is open. 🌿

Every purchase funds operations at the Lwiro Primates Rehabilitation Center — the only great ape rehabilitation center in eastern DRC.

The results are in.

624 people from around the world gave to Lwiro Primates Rehabilitation Center through Giving Day for Apes 2026. Together, you raised $57,887 — including prizes for finishing #1 worldwide in number of donors and #1 in Africa for most dollars raised.

That is not a small thing. It means food for 130 chimpanzees rescued from poachers and wildlife traffickers, 60+ Congolese staff members paid and present, a sanctuary still standing in a conflict zone.

You made that possible. Day in and day out, LPRC shows up for these animals. Now you showed up for LPRC.

With deep gratitude — from the animals, from the staff, and from everyone at Lwiro Primates.

Just a few minutes.

That's what's left of Giving Day for Apes 2026.

If you haven't given yet — this is the moment. Right now.

130 rescued chimpanzees. 60+ Congolese staff. One sanctuary, in a war zone, that has never once stopped showing up for them.

We don't need a large gift. We need you.

$10 changes the donor count. It changes the leaderboard. It changes what LPRC can do tomorrow.

And you can help. Right now. Only a few hours remain in the most important fundraiser of the year. https://givingdayforapes.org/organization/Lwiroprimates

Nighttime in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The evening meal is being prepared. Sixty Congolese staff members are still at their posts — feeding, monitoring, caring for 130 chimpanzees rescued from poachers and the bushmeat trade.

They did that yesterday. They will do it tomorrow. They do it every single day, whether there is a war on, whether the roads are closed, whether the supply chain is broken.

Today, hundreds of people made sure they could.

If you are not one of them yet — there are still a few hours left.

The African sanctuary with the most donors between 3:00 and 4:00 PM wins an extra $2,500 prize.

This is the window when YOUR GIFT HAS MORE IMPACT. Right now.

$10. $25. Whatever you can. The number of people is the prize — not the amount.

👉 Give now: www.givingdayforapes.org/organization/Lwiroprimates

Share this. Tag someone. Ask them to give before 4:00 ET.

SECOND POWER HOUR: the African sanctuary with the most donors between 3:00 and 4:00 PM wins an extra $2,500 prize.

It does not go to the sanctuary with the most money. It goes to the sanctuary with the most individual people who give. A $10 gift counts exactly as much as a $500 one toward that prize.

It means your gift during this hour goes further.

If you haven't given: give now. If you already gave: share this post and ask one person in your network to give before 4:00 PM.

THE CHIMPS THANK YOU!

10/06/2026

The numbers are moving.

As of this afternoon, Lwiro Primates Rehabilitation Center has 425 unique donors and counting on Giving Day for Apes 2026.

In 2025, we finished #1 worldwide. That title didn't come from a single large gift — it came from 685 individuals who each chose to show up.

Today, every new donor is a vote. Every post share can bring us a new voter.

$10 counts exactly as much as $1,000 on this leaderboard. Finishing #1 in "Most Donors" brings visibility, donations, and prize funding from GDFA.

130 chimps. Each one rescued from poachers or wildlife traffickers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Named. Known. Cared for by the same Congolese staff — more than 60 of them — who walk through the gates every morning, no matter what is happening around them.

If you haven't given yet: today is the day.
