How does my donation help orangutans?

Your donation supports orangutans rescued from deforestation and the pet trade: £15 feeds an orangutan for a week, £20 buys an enrichment kit, £40 funds a health check, and £60 sponsors a month of forest school for an orphan learning to live wild again.

Orphaned orangutans rescued from the pet trade never learned to climb, forage or build nests. Forest school teaches them — a years-long path back to the wild, one month at a time. Nobody takes an orangutan home; the till is the gift tags on this page.

Who should skip this: Skip this page if you wanted to rehome a orangutan in the UK — that is the rescue directory, not a gift tag. Skip it if you need Gift Aid: World Animal Rescue Network is a CIC and cannot claim it. Nobody takes this animal home.

Can I take this orangutan home?

No. These tags are gifts to WARN’s general fund, named after a kind of care. The animal stays there. If you want to adopt or foster in the UK, use the rescue directory and follow that organisation’s process. An animal charity gift is not a pet. Compare sponsor vs adopt.

Is a orangutan gift Gift Aid eligible?

No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC. Community interest companies cannot claim Gift Aid, so you will never see a tick-box here. If Gift Aid is required, give to a registered charity instead. The gifts on this page support care without Gift Aid. See about.

What gifts help orangutans?

Pick a tag and we'll transfer you to World Animal Rescue Network's secure donation page with this gift already selected. Or sponsor an orangutan monthly instead. Birthday and Christmas wrappers live on birthday gifts and Christmas gifts; choose the same care with a personal message.

Orangutan rescue questions

How much does it cost to feed an orangutan for a week?

We hold no sanctuary cost data. The “Feed an orangutan for a week” gift suggests £15, named after a week of fruit and forage for one rescued orangutan. See all orangutan rescue gifts.

Can I give a orangutan rescue donation as a gift?

Yes. After you donate, make a free printable gift card with their name, your message and the gift you chose, then print it or save it as a PDF to email — popular for birthdays and gifts in memory. WARN emails you a payment receipt, not a certificate. It is a charity gift, not an orangutan you take home.

Can I take this orangutan home?

No. Tags on the orangutan gift page are gifts to WARN’s general fund, named after a kind of care, not an individual animal. Orphans stay in forest-school care until they can live wild.

Is a orangutan gift Gift Aid eligible?

No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC, which cannot claim Gift Aid. The gifts still fund care.

Can I sponsor a orangutan every month?

Yes. £60 a month funds forest school or use monthly orangutan sponsorship.
