Dinner Time Gift

The working donkeys of West Africa are relied upon to pull heavy carts through busy streets, or up and down dangerous rubbish dumps. Working long hours in the blazing heat with limited access to food or water, starving donkeys often resort to eating whatever they can find during their daily labour. This can include dry, dead plants or foreign bodies like plastic bags and cardboard that can block a donkey’s gut. These painful obstructions of the intestine lead to colic, which, if left untreated, can cause a prolonged and agonising death. Thanks to your support, we provide high-calorie fodder to working animals wherever we can, to keep them strong and help them recover from malnutrition.
