Save the monkeys of KZN by donating today!
The name “Umsizi” is taken from the local South African Zulu
language meaning “helper” or “helping hand” Established over ten
years ago in Umkomaas (KZN South Africa), Umsizi provides an
important service to both Vervet Monkey and Human alike, who often
occupy the same urban area. Rescues of injured and/or orphaned
Vervet Monkeys are a daily part of Umsizi's routine. Other aspects
of rehabilitation for these
wondrous, misunderstood primates includes the twice daily cleaning
of rehabilitation cages and the twice daily purchase and
preparation of a nutritious feeding programme. Medical attention,
petrol costs, baby formula, and maintenance of the rehabilitation
cages are all funded from within the organisation by donations from
the public. Umsizi Umkomaas Vervet Monkey Rescue Centre operates
24/7 to assist and help these beautiful but misunderstood primates.
Due to the increase of building developments in the Vervet Monkeys
natural habitat, the services of Umsizi Umkomaas Vervet Monkey
Rescue Centre is increasing in demand daily.
