Aruba Donkey Sanctuary
Founded in 1997 as a non-profit and completely volunteer run organization, our mission is simple. Save the Donkeys! Although not originally native to the small island of Aruba, they have existed here for 500 years having been the primary mode of transportation until cars began to be introduced on the island in increasing numbers. At that point, many Arubans no longer had the need for their formerly beloved donkey, and sadly in the 1970’s, a dangerous and rapidly spreading illness nearly caused their extinction leaving behind a population of only 20 wild donkeys.

Nepal Donkey Sanctuary
When we built our Godavari Donkey Sanctuary in 2009, (to home rescued handicapped and sick working equines), we could not dream that three years down the line we would be planning for a new sanctuary. However, after rescuing and rehabilitating over 50 equines, many of whom are sponsored by members of Animal Aid Abroad and who helped fund the construction of our existing Sanctuary, we realized that we needed more space and more visitors. The Sanctuary will be a place where animals are treated with kindness and compassion and where visitors can learn about animal welfare in general and about the abuse that takes place against equines in Nepal. We hope to have the place up and running by the middle of next year.
