Kongo
He was rescued on the 6th of December 2022 in a bush near river Kongo. The informant found him alone and crying. No troop members were present. He was bought into cc and immediately entered long-term rehabilitation starting with orphan care.
Kongo has been doing well and has gained weight from 360g when he first came -today 15.12.2022, 445g. He enjoys feeding cerelac and jumping around. Kongo is very sensitive; he always responds to any disturbance very quickly but you can only befriend him if you have food. On 12 December, he started his integration process, allowing him to spend half a day at the nursery vervet anti-cage.
On 11 January 2023, Kongo moved into a nursery cage with other infant vervets ( Mbweni and Moshi) alongside Mrembo and Nyali. Kongo has joined other infants at a body weight of 650g and we can only hope he grows well, learns monkey behavior, and becomes a father of many, just like river Kongo gives life to many.

Mzungu
Mzungu’s name was derived from the fact that he is special because he lacks pigmentation on his skin which makes him white. He was rescued from an apartment complex after a report was made of an abandoned infant monkey crying out in the compound. Currently, Mzungu has been integrated with other monkeys undergoing rehabilitation where make a strong bond with the troop.

Jiwe
Jiwe arrived at our center at only four days old as a victim of human abuse. He was a survivor of a stoning incident that unfortunately lead to the death of his mother in a nearby village. He was introduced to a female monkey Mrembo who cared for him like a mother and this helped Jiwe cope better. Now Jiwe can forage on his own is completely weaned off baby formula.

Mrembo
Mrembo which means beautiful in Swahili was rescued in one of the local villages in Ukunda. She had been spotted moving around with a 1-meter-long metallic chain-link hanging on the neck and limping from her injuries. Fortunately, a security guard from a nearby school spotted her and immediately called us to the rescue. Mrembo was in very bad shape; she had a fractured arm, swollen leg and injured tail to a point she could not even lie down. Now, two years later she has blossomed into a beautiful, healthy monkey responsible for caring for the infants, providing them with love and attention which is needed to survive without their mother.
