Joshua Baboon Rehabilitation Centre
Donation request of equipment for baboon rehabilitation centre
It’s really a worthy cause where two people who are totally dedicated and passionate about their work are desperately needing financial/equipment assistance to complete a half finished job…in a nutshell the project was started 9 years ago when a baby baboon arrived on Nola & Peter Frazer’s doorstep, the mother had been killed and
96 baboons later, they have a fully fledged rehabilitation centre where just recently 2 troops of 25 & 19 were released into 2 x 5 hectare camps in their process of rewilding.
The next stage of their rewilding is a 100 hectare camp that is half finished and this is where I’m trying to help them either get redundant equipment for loan or an outright donation (they do have a fundraising number), public acknowledgement would be made and the donator could become the primary sponsor of the camp – it is fenced, but still needs a cement foundation around the 5km perimeter and dams & access roads need to be built, so in essence they need the services of a 4ton bulldozer and a 2ton digger (Peter has done some research to hire the equipment over the 3 months they would need it, but this is very expensive and 2nd hand equipment is in the range of R250 000 for both machines) – it would be really sad to see the project come to a standstill when they’ve come so far!
How You Can Help
Requirements: The baboon rehabilitation programme is an expanding project. we have 350 hectares of land, on which the first 5 hectares enclosure is in the process of being constructed.
To fence the rest of the land and to build the facilities for the animals we will need the
following amount of money: 7 km of game fencing with gates around 2 sides - R 210,000
4 km electrical fencing for a 100 ha enclosure - R 250,000
electrification units - R 60,000
observation posts - R 130,000
dams, gabions, barrages for water retention, water supply, piping and borehole - R 212,000
roads and bridges - R 163,000
TOTAL - R 1,025,000
An excellent way to help is by adopting a baboon. Why not bring somebody new into your family?
R2400 a year (or R200 month) gives the sponsor the following:
Their choice of baboon to sponsor
A Profile package which includes pictures and history of their adoptee
Bi-monthly updates on the status of their adoptee
Bi-monthly pictures if their adoptee hasn’t yet been released into the wild
and when possible after release

Current Adopt-a-Baboon Sponsors
Heartfelt thanks to all those who support The Manger in its role as a rescue and rehabilitation organization. The baboons would especially like to thank their sponsors - your love and compassion has gone a long way to helping The Manger operate. Those baboons that have been adopted by sponsors - Oliver, Ngelo, Erin, Joshua, Beth and Joseph - are very grateful that such kind souls such as yourselves exist. Those who are as yet unadopted know that some time their day will come.
