Give These Special Souls the Ultimate Gift

Animal Aid Abroad’s partner group, the Zambezi Working Donkey Project (ZWDP), recently rescued four very special souls in Zambia – Mango, White, Jack and Missy – from lives of abuse and suffering.

However, their future is not secure yet and we need to ensure they never go back to their owners to be abused again.

Here are their stories. . .

MANGO is only a foal but was cruelly attacked when she and her mother innocently strayed into a vegetable patch. Her leg was broken and was left untreated for two months, causing it to set at a horrible angle.

Mango is no longer of use to her owner, since she will never be able to work with her deformed leg. She desperately needs a permanent home where she will always be safe and well cared for.

WHITE was found by ZWDP at Libuyu market, malnourished and in a terrible condition. She was being severely abused by the people using her for work, leaving her covered with wounds. These people were held by the police for a few days but have unfortunately been released.

The only way we can ensure White is never reclaimed by her abusers is to secure her permanent rescue, so she can live out the rest of her days peacefully in ZWDP's sanctuary.

JACK endured an unspeakably cruel attack when he was tied to a tree and set on fire. Miraculously, he survived and has recovered, thanks to the superb care given by the ZWDP team.

MISSY is Jack's foal and was thankfully not injured during the awful attack.

Mango, White, Jack and Missy are just the tip of the iceberg. Sadly, there are many other working animals who also need rescuing from cruelty or dire situations. AAA are determined to save as many as possible from a life of suffering.

However, WE NEED YOUR HELP to raise the necessary funds to permanently rescue Mango, White, Jack, Missy, and other working animals in desperate situations. Your support will give them safety, loving care, food and veterinary treatment.
