The Donkey Care Workers of  Blouberg (Limpopo) , known as the “Donkey Friends”, look after the donkeys in their villages by providing advice and assistance with parasites, wounds, and other primary health care issues. (See www.bloubergdonkeys.co.za)

We at VillageHealth (www.villagehealth.africa) assisted in the training of the donkey care workers and are now appealing, on their behalf, for funds to create a basis for continuing their work. The Donkey Friends have decided to open up a co-operative store, accessible to the villages where they operate - to supply primary animal health care products to their communities and to continue offering  assistance to the donkeys of Blouberg. This will be called The Donkey Friends Health Centre

The Donkey Friends need help in converting an old container to house The Donkey Friends Health Centre. 

Funds collected will be used to source, transport and refurbish a donated container.

Donkeys form an integral part of the livelihoods of residents of Blouberg, from transporting children to school and pensioners to paypoints, to helping farmers to plough, and households to collect water and firewood.  

Your help in establishing a basis from which the Donkey Friends of Blouberg can continue to support the donkeys that are crucial to the communities of Blouberg can make a lasting difference.
