Thanks to your ongoing support, Zambezi Working Donkey Project (ZWDP) can work towards their vision of a Zambia where working donkeys are free from suffering and treated with compassion. In April, they provided 241 donkeys with essential veterinary care and also opened their brand new Visitor and Education Centre.

During April, Namigni Animal Sanctuary held a mobile clinic to attend to working equines in the Bogotá savanna region of Colombia. These horses and mares rarely have access to veterinary care, and the team noted issues particularly with hoof maintenance and dental care.

In addition, they educated owners about low-stress handling techniques and better human-animal interactions to improve working equines’ welfare in this region.

Our partner group Lilongwe Society for the Protection and Care of Animals (LSPCA) assisted 103 working donkeys during April. Their interventions focused on treating and preventing workload-related stress and injuries, improving shelter hygiene, correct harnessing techniques and other owner education to improve donkey welfare long-term.
