How The Big Give works

The Big Give has selected Brooke to participate in its Christmas Challenge. Every eligible donation will be matched until we reach our target, making your gift go twice as far. Your donation will go to our work to help end the trade of donkey skins in Kenya.

Donkeys are dying

Up to 1,000 donkeys in Kenya are being slaughtered for their skins every day. Many are stolen from their owners, have their skin torn from their bodies and are left to die in the street or bush. This shocking situation is happening as a result of demand from China for ‘ejiao’, the gelatine found under donkey skin, which is used in traditional medicine and beauty products. This is having a devastating effect on both families, who are losing a significant member of their family, as well as the donkey population in Kenya and neighbouring countries. This must stop.

Research by the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Institute has predicted that if the trend of slow population growth and increasing slaughter continues, donkeys in Kenya could be wiped out by 2023 so we must act now.

What Brooke is doing

Brooke is calling for a ban on the trade of donkey skins from Kenya and a crackdown on cross-border smuggling of donkeys into Kenya for their skins. Will you help us reach our target of £20,000?

What you can do

Help Brooke end the donkey skin trade in Kenya and donate today. Please note only donations of £5 or more made via The Big Give website are eligible to be doubled until we reach our target.
