Dinner Time Gift

Working donkeys in West Africa are relied upon to pull heavy carts through busy, dust-filled streets or up and down towering rubbish dumps. With limited access to water or food throughout the day, and the scorching heat to contend with, it’s one of the most demanding and difficult jobs imaginable. In these tough conditions, starving donkeys often resort to eating whatever they can find during their daily labour. This often includes inedible materials like plastic bags and cardboard that can block a donkey’s gut. Obstructions of the intestine can lead to excruciating colic which, without treatment, can potentially cause a prolonged and painful death. Thanks to your support, we provide high-calorie feed wherever we can to keep working animals strong and to help them recover from sickness and malnutrition.
