Who We Are

Donkey Rights Group, was founded by young men and women in Kiambu and Naivasha community after many years of volunteering at Donkey Sanctuary and Brooke since 2000, we decided to come together and address the plight of Donkeys in Limuru and Naivasha after witnessing the mass slaughter, suffering and mistreatment of donkeys.

We do this by raising funds which are used to help maintain a our small sanctuary in a small village between Limuru  and Naivasha for abused and abandoned donkeys in need of love, treatment, protection and a safe home. 

The funds we raise also enable our small team to run mobile veterinary clinics to help the hard working donkeys, where they are a means to their owners’ everyday livelihood.

As part of our work, we make every effort to help educate the donkey owners and teach them better handling methods (including correct harnessing, foot care, dentistry, feeding) and to understand that their donkeys are sentient beings that will improve their livelihood if they are cared for well and not suffering.

Interesting Facts About Donkeys

1. Donkeys have an excellent memory

Donkeys can easily remember the place they have been to or their peers they met 25 years ago! Sounds interesting? They seem to have a high IQ than mad people we meet on our streets.

2. Donkeys know when they’re mistreated

Donkeys are super-sensitive to what happens in their surroundings and can detect how we behave and treat them. For example, it will never be involved in any activity that it considers unsafe, or they may make a loud braying noise if you beat them unfairly. Donkeys Right Group aims to sensitize people on why they need to treat them reasonably just like other domestic animals.

3. Donkeys Hate Rain

Unlike human beings, donkeys don’t have a waterproof coat and thus staying out in the rain for long can damage their health.

4. Donkeys get depressed when left alone

This may sound weird, but it is the truth. Donkeys love to live in herds. If there are no other donkeys, they can live with humans or goats as their companion.
