Our Work
We’re a bunch of dedicated animal lovers who have taken up the cause of protecting donkeys – they’re probably the most neglected and taken for granted domesticated animals. We’re here to change people’s notion that donkeys deserve a lot more than merely carrying heavy loads around. And we’ve been pretty successful in doing this.
