The Story of 2025: A Year of Resilience on the Frontlines

In a year of intense conflict, our work didn't stop. Get the exclusive, inside story of how our team and 277 rescued animals persevered.

You see the moments of rescue and joy on social media. But there's a deeper story to our work, especially in a year like 2025.

The Lwiro Primate Rehabilitation Center operated on the frontlines of a violent conflict. Every day brought new challenges to the safety of our staff and the animals in their care.

This is not our official Annual Report. This is a special summary created for our most dedicated followers, showing how we not only survived, but succeeded.

In this exclusive "2025 Year in Review," you will discover:

• The Unwavering Dedication: How our 53 Congolese staff members showed up every single day, despite immense personal risk.

• The Financial Reality: A transparent look at the $100,000+ annual food budget and how we managed it through inflation and supply chain disruptions.

• An International Honor: How our team’s commitment to excellence resulted in the GFAS Outstanding International Sanctuary of the Year Award.

We’ll send the Year in Review direct to your inbox. Thank you for being part of this mission.
