Help save more donkeys’ lives in Egypt with a new community veterinary team

With your support, we can transform donkeys’ lives in Egypt with a new community veterinary team.

Beyond the El Saf brick kilns in Egypt, there are many communities where working donkeys, horses and mules remain essential for daily transport, farming and carrying goods to market. In these areas, many animals are overworked, resulting in preventable health problems such as harness wounds, overgrown hoofs, malnutrition, dehydration and exhaustion, an issue that’s compounded by limited access to veterinary provision.

But we cannot launch this vital new community vet team without your support.

Please, send a gift today, and give the working donkeys,
horses and mules of Egypt the lives they deserve. 

To treat these animals and ensure they’re better cared for, we desperately need to establish a community vet team, one that can be as successful as the El Saf mobile vet clinics. 

We aim to employ a vet and two assistants, both of whom will be trained farriers, and equip them with a vehicle capable of travelling long distances on rural roads. Inside will be all the diagnostic tools, equipment and medication they need to identify issues and treat on the spot.

Alongside the surgical work will be an educational role, to work directly with owners, educating them to improve long-term welfare standards and prevent needless suffering – a model that has had such a transformative effect in El Saf.

With your help, a new community veterinary team can be established – and we can save even more donkeys’ lives in Egypt. Please help us today.

Safe Haven for Donkeys is the only organisation dedicated to the welfare of working and abandoned donkeys in Israel and the West Bank and have been here for the donkeys for the past 20 years. We can only be here for the donkeys with the help of your kind donations. 

Thank you for caring and believing donkeys deserve better!
