Donkeys in Kenya

How funds are spent

The funds we spend on our charitable activities go to four main areas: prevention of welfare problems, direct intervention to improve animal welfare, influencing and research.

If you are a recent Brooke supporter - thank you! You enable us to reach millions of working horses, donkeys and mules and the communities who rely on them.

Your impact

How your donations help

If you are a recent Brooke supporter - thank you! You enable us to reach millions of working horses, donkeys and mules and the communities who rely on them. 

Our work directly helps 1.8 million animals a year.

Millions more working horses, donkey and mules feel the benefit of Brooke too. We also train thousands of animal health workers and people living in communities who rely on working animals around the world. On a bigger scale, we've fought for new policies to protect millions more working animals.

For a full list of recent achievements take a look at our annual report, but here are three that we are proud of:

  • Farrier school - the first 11 Certified Master Farriers graduated in Senegal
  • Over 230,000 horses, donkeys and mules benefitted from water projects in Ethiopia
  • Millions of working animals have been helped by our work.

How money is spent

The funds that we spend on charitable activities are divided up like this:

49%

on the prevention of welfare problems

35%

on direct interventions to improve animal welfare

13%

on influencing and advocating for improved animal welfare

3%

on research

Why your donation matters

Our fundraising activity plays a crucial role in generating much needed revenue to ensure we have the income to support our growth. This will enable us to reach even more suffering animals, and ensure we can sustain our work well into the future.

Your donations will help us expand our work in existing countries and into new countries where working horses, donkeys and mules are most in need.
