Help needed to complete donkey sanctuary in Bukombe

As you may have seen recently the situation in Bukombe, Tanzania for donkeys is dire. Donkeys are beaten with machetes, hit by trucks and are loaded with an inhumane weight of bricks, in makeshift harnesses that injure the donkeys even more. Abuse and overworking is rife and Animal Aid Abroad has been working with Tanzania Humane Charity to construct and establish a donkey sanctuary. For those following the Global Working Animal Day campaign, you'd know that some of the $100,000 goal is going towards this project in Tanzania. On this last day of the Global Working Animal Day campaign, we are currently $20,000 short of our goal, and $20,000 is what is required to complete the donkey sanctuary in Bukombe.

We need your help to raise this last amount and help provide medical care, education and rescue for the abused donkeys of Bukombe.
