Saving Elephants and Helping Children

Chatham is excited to support the Elephant Cooperation, a non-profit focused on finding and funding the most effective ways to save elephants and to help the children living near them. Elephant Cooperation supports dynamic organizations and people who make a real difference in the lives of African elephants and children. The initiatives they help fund include anti-poaching efforts, human elephant conflict mitigation, elephant rescue, habitat conservation as well as education and food support for children living near wildlife areas.

Chatham Adopts Rare Twin Elephants

Throughout 2021, Chatham has been a key supporter of Elephant Cooperation by sponsoring its golf and Halloween party fundraising events. At the Halloween Anti-Gala, Chatham owner Harry Stubbert, made a substantial donation and won the unique opportunity to adopt and name twin male elephants. Identical twin elephants are highly rare and make up a mere 1% of elephant births.

Harry named the pair “Diamond Harry” and “Tom Emerald” in tribute to his partnership with Tom Chatham, son of the founder, Carroll Chatham. The twin elephants were born in April 2020 and the adoption was made possible through the Magical Kenya Tembo Naming Festival. Elephant Cooperation is very grateful for Chatham’s continued support.

Committed to Sustainability & Philanthropy

Chatham, a leader in sustainably produced, laboratory grown gemstones, is committed to transition the gemstone industry from controversial mining practices towards a more sustainable approach. Chatham’s support of Elephant Cooperation reflects a long-standing commitment to philanthropy. Chatham has been a supporter of higher education, research, history preservation, and a partner of One Tree Planted, a non-profit dedicated to global reforestation.

Chatham strongly believes it is time for the industry to give back to a continent that has already given so much to us. We are actively taking donations on behalf of the jewelry industry to present to the Elephant Cooperation.

Help Chatham Make A Difference

Though Chatham has never utilized any of the resources Africa has afforded our industry, we want to continue doing our part. We urge our retail partners to do the same. Donations, big or small, will make a difference in the lives of these elephants and the people around them.
