Sanctuary

You may remember that I recently shared an update from our Nablus team in the West Bank, who were forced to turn back from a trip to Senjil, due to road blocks. But they were determined not to let the day go to waste. The team quickly changed course and travelled through several villages before reaching Mazare’ […]

This week, I’d like to take you to a small farm in Egypt, where a five-month-old foal had stopped doing what he loved most – running around and getting into mischief. His family affectionately call him “Little Naughty”. But when a rapidly growing swelling appeared beside his eye, this playful youngster became quiet and withdrawn.

Thank you, as always, for your kindness and support. Because of you, our sanctuary in Israel remains a safe haven for 180 rescued donkeys who have suffered neglect, abuse or abandonment. This week, I wanted to share a glimpse of everyday life at the sanctuary. From hoof trimming and feeding time, to special treats and

Thanks to your kindness, our mobile veterinary team in Gaza have remained active throughout May, reaching working animals across Khan Yunis, Deir al-Balah and Rafah. Among them were 487 donkeys and horses – animals that have become essential for transporting water, food, supplies and people in communities where normal infrastructure has largely collapsed. The need

Thank you so much for your continued support of our work helping donkeys across the Middle East. Because of your kindness, donkeys who have suffered neglect, abuse and hardship can receive the care and attention they deserve. Today, we’re bringing you an update from our rescue centre in Arrana, over in the West Bank, where
