Since 1994, the work of the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada has remained centred on protecting chimpanzees in their natural habitat. So you might wonder why we build schools in the Demo cratic Republic of Congo, or why we create clean water sources in Uganda, or why we offer training in sustainable agriculture.
Simply put, it’s because when people thrive, chimpanzees thrive. LETTER FROM JANE LETTER FROM OUR CEO AND BOARD CHAIR A Bright Tomorrow Why are we building schools in Africa?
