Why does The Jane Goodall Institute South Africa need my help?  

Our JGI SA Chimpanzee Eden Sanctuary in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, South Africa is for orphaned chimpanzees, victims of habitat destruction and the bushmeat trade.  This is a long-term commitment on our part as chimps can often live well into their sixties.  Through our Roots & Shoots programme we are educating the next generation worldwide to care for the planet.  Here in South Africa, we are providing training in sustainable land use, food gardens, primary healthcare, family planning, AIDS education, water projects and environmental projects.

It has been 50 years since Jane Goodall set foot on the beach at Gombe in Tanzania and began the journey towards a better planet for all. Her legacy and yours can ensure that vision continues.  Please consider including the Jane Goodall Institute South Africa in your will today – just add a codicil to an existing will, or remember us when you make one.  If you let us know of your generosity we will be able to keep you up to date on the amazing things that can be achieved through such support, and we would be able to arrange an opportunity for you to attend events with Jane.
