A generator to water supply

SAVE THE CHIMPS SANCTUARY, USA

Save the Chimps Sanctuary, in Fort Pierce, Florida, is launching a campaign that will have its mark on July 27, when they intend to reach a total donation of US$ 12,000.00. This amount will allow the sanctuary to install a generator that guarantees the operation, in case of emergency, of the Water Treatment Site.

Water treatment at this sanctuary is a very important task, as long as it is formed by islands that are separated through channels. In case of an emergency due to drop of electricity, the lack of water to drink and to clean would cause a collapse and would be a disaster. A donator already gave the generator, but its installation is very expensive and is out of the annual budget of the sanctuary. This campaign aims to guarantee the permanent water supply to the more than 300 chimpanzees who live and have a home at the sanctuary. 

Rufus and his family – who appear on the photo above – will thank forever for your generosity.
