Support our Important Work in Conservation, Education & Research
Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage stands as a beacon of hope and care for wildlife, proudly operating as a registered charity and NGO. Our existence and continued success are deeply rooted in the generosity and support of the public, both local and international. Without the unwavering commitment and kindness of our visitors and volunteers, the legacy we’ve nurtured over the past 50 years would face uncertainty. As we look forward to the next 50 years of conservation and care, we wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who have supported us over the years and look forward to welcoming many more who wish to join our cause from our global community. Every donation, no matter the size, fuels our mission to protect, rehabilitate, and understand wildlife, ensuring that Chipangali’s doors remain open for generations to come.
Donations will contribute to the following causes
01
Wildlife Orphanage
Running a wildlife orphanage involves a myriad of costs, from providing shelter and medical care to ensuring a nutritious diet tailored to each species’ needs. Donations play a crucial role in covering these expenses, enabling the orphanage to maintain its daily operations. The care for rescued animals, including orphans, the injured, and those needing rehabilitation, demands not just financial resources but also time and specialised expertise. Your donations directly support these efforts, ensuring that the animals receive the best possible care and a chance at a new life in their natural habitats or a safe environment within the orphanage.
02
Education
By contributing to Chipangali, donors also bolster our education programs, which are vital for instilling a sense of conservation among the public and particularly among the youth in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, and beyond. Through donations, we can offer live viewing opportunities, educational lectures, films, and slide shows to diverse groups, making wildlife conservation an accessible and engaging topic. This educational outreach serves as a foundational resource for local children to learn about and develop a profound appreciation for Zimbabwe’s rich natural heritage, fostering the next generation of conservationists.
03
Conservation
Your donations contribute to broad conservation efforts in Zimbabwe and the surrounding region, supporting one of Africa’s most established conservation centers. This funding aids in preserving indigenous wildlife and their natural habitats, ensuring that these treasures do not vanish due to neglect or mismanagement. Contributions help in educating the community about sustainable practices and the importance of biodiversity, making a lasting impact on the region’s ecological well-being and helping to secure a future where humans and wildlife coexist harmoniously.
04
Research
Contributions to Chipangali also fund crucial research activities, including the study of animal behavior, growth, nutrition, and health. Such research provides invaluable data that contributes to the global understanding of wildlife and their needs, influencing conservation strategies and policies. By observing and documenting vital zoological information, your donations support efforts to improve the care of captive animals and those in the wild, facilitating more informed and effective conservation practices.
05
Cooperation
Donations bolster Chipangali’s capacity to work in cooperation with local and governmental authorities, other conservation organizations, educational institutions, and individuals facing challenges with wildlife. This collaborative approach enhances the effectiveness of conservation efforts, providing a united front in the face of challenges such as habitat destruction, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. Your support ensures that Chipangali can continue to serve as a vital link in the chain of conservation efforts across Africa, promoting unity and shared responsibility in protecting our natural world.
