Zambi may just be an animatronic elephant, but he’s one charismatic ambassador for an important cause.
Project Zambi is devoted to raising awareness and funds for children who are orphans of the AIDS epidemic in Africa. Hasbro donates fifty percent of the net profits –a minimum of $500,00– from sales of Zambi the Baby Elephant, a special edition Furreal Friends, to the Project Zambi Fund, part of the Hasbro Children’s Fund.
