You may recall a few weeks ago we reported on a young donkey foal who had been attacked by dogs. He sustained serious wounds to his face and shoulder. Our partner group in South Africa, Blindlove, have been working tirelessly to help this young creature heal from his wounds and psychological trauma. The video below details his story and happy ending.

Our partner group, Friendicoes, have a number of paravets who work in different regions of India. These veterinary assistants are a vital aspect of Friendicoes’ working equine program. They complete basic treatments, clean and re-dress wounds and check on the progress of each sick or injured equine.

We rely on your incredible kindness and support to help fund essential programs for working equines around the globe.

Friendicoes run such a program, driving their Mobile Equine Clinic around the streets of India to assist working horses, donkeys, mules and ponies in need. Last month, they treated multiple horses with various ailments or injuries. They also rescued a donkey and three ponies from desperate situations.

Currently, donkeys in Gaza are some of the animals in most desperate need on the planet. Thanks to your support, our partner group Starting Over in Israel can continue to rescue these donkeys. They are helping many traumatised donkeys recover from their ordeals, allowing them to start afresh and receive all the love and care they deserve.

In Zambia, our partner group Zambezi Working Donkey Project (ZWDP) saw 240 working donkeys during January. They also rescued three more donkeys in need. This vital work can only be completed due to your generous donations. Please read on to see how your invaluable support is changing the lives of donkeys in Zambia.
