For those looking to purchase a gift of kindness or the heartwarming kind, SANCCOB has opened its adoptions for the festive season to help make shopping a little easier this year.

 

South Africa (19 November 2023) – If you are starting to plan your festive shopping, looking at charitable gifts may be the best way to spoil loved ones and better South Africa. The SANCCOB (Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds) has a flock of rescued penguins looking to be virtually adopted this festive season.

Every year we challenge ourselves, to find the perfect gift! Something meaningful and quite unique for the ones we love, to keep. This year, look no further for your loved ones – or even yourself – because you can adopt and name an African penguin and get a newly launched festive-theme certificate.

“When you adopt a penguin, you will be playing a ‘literal’ lifesaving role. Your contribution will help us provide sufficient food, veterinary care and rehabilitation for our patients. There are plenty of penguin personalities to choose from, which ensures that the selection process promises to be just as rewarding as the reaction of your loved one, upon receipt of this incredible gift! The process of a symbolic adoption is an easy one. Simply visit our online penguin gallery of birds in care, and name your penguin. Once your contribution is complete, a beautiful, personalised gift certificate is delivered straight to your inbox!

We love hearing from our penguin parents so please stay connected.”

By adopting this festive season, you enable SANCCOB’s intervention to make the recovery and release journey of this incredible species possible.

Penguin numbers across South African coastlines are in decline. This is worrying, which makes saving every penguin vital.

So if you are looking for a gift that keeps on giving this year, check out the penguin adoption options here.
