OTHER OPTIONS - HELP SAVE THE ORANGUTAN
History Of Orangutan Appeal UK Founded in 2000, Orangutan Appeal UK has grown rapidly from a simple commitment to help, to a position where we are delighted to have been awarded official UK charity status.
Sue Sheward MBE, the Appeal’s Chairwoman and Founder, became involved with the plight of the orangutans in Borneo while on holiday there. Having seen the work of the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre initially as a tourist, and then having shown great interest, she was allowed to work there for a short time as a volunteer. During this time she learned a great deal about this beautiful endangered ape and the care and devotion which was evident at this Malaysian Government run Centre itself. It was very obvious to Sue that they were in need of assistance and
funding so she returned to the UK with the conviction that she would do something to help.
Sue got straight to work on her return from Borneo, raising money from raffles, jumble sales and a charity racing-car track day. Sue tirelessly dug at the pockets of countless people, and thanks to their generosity, managed to raise enough money to fund her first project.
After delicate negotiations with the Malaysian Government, the project was approved, and, we are proud to be the first Non Government Organisation (NGO) to have been authorised by them.
With her first project well and truly under her belt, and interest in the Appeal growing fast, plans were started for the next “project”
