A Real Parent's Story
My daughter adopted a chimpanzee after visiting
“She met a 3-year-old chimp named Kiki whod been rescued from a pet trade. My daughter emptied her piggy bank to adopt her. We now get monthly chimp updates.”
Read full story
I took my daughters to UWEC for a weekend outing. They met Kiki, a baby chimp rescued from illegal trade. My 7-year-old asked if we could take her home. When I explained no, she asked if we could help pay for her food. She emptied her savings. The adoption program is real and affordable 50,000 UGX a month.
