Mission & Interests
Goals: Our mission is to help improve the lives of donkeys and mules. We will continue to support and share world-leading
veterinary, behavioural and environmental science and the wisdom of people who live and work alongside donkeys all over the world.
We are determined to share the rich benefits of our single species focus. Side by side with partner organisations, NGOs, supporters and governments, we will demonstrate how seeing the world from a donkey’s perspective can help people, communities and the environment to heal and flourish, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
Our vision is a world where donkeys and mules live free from suffering and their contribution to humanity is fully valued and every donkey has a good quality of life.
