Through a Special Bequest

Princess Diana, known for her compassion and commitment to charitable causes, left an indelible mark on the world through her humanitarian work. From 1999 her foundation, continuing her legacy, chose to support Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage, as a testament to her love for children and dedication to education and conservation.

The Princess Diana Center, donated by her foundation, stands as a beacon of educational excellence in Zimbabwe, embodying her belief in the transformative power of knowledge and the importance of nurturing a bond between children and the natural world.

The Princess Diana Center was conceived as a sanctuary for learning, offering free access to the public and particularly to the children of Zimbabwe, ensuring that the wonders of wildlife and natural heritage are accessible to all, regardless of economic background. This generous contribution underscores the principle that education, especially about the environment and conservation, should be universally available, fostering a safe and engaging space for families to explore and learn.

Operating under the conviction that knowledge is the cornerstone of conservation, the center contributes significantly to Chipangali’s educational outreach. Through live viewing of species, interactive lectures, and engaging multimedia presentations, it plays a pivotal role in educating the Zimbabwean public and visitors from around the globe about the importance of wildlife conservation. By honoring Princess Diana’s legacy in this way, the center not only commemorates her charitable spirit but also propels Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage’s mission forward, securing a future where the coexistence of humans and wildlife thrives for generations to come.
