Yes, today is a Day of Giving in honor of Dorothy Brooke, but it is also the final day of The Donkey Project. For one year we have worked to raise $1.5 million to reach 100,000 working donkeys in the world's most vulnerable communities. In May, we extended that goal to $1.6 million, allowing us to effectively reach more equines than ever anticipated.

Will you join us today in reaching this stretch goal?

Agrovets are key to animal health care delivery in hard-to-reach rural areas. These are workers and owners of supply stores dealing in medicines and feed for animals. They are often the first people farmers go to when faced with animal sickness or injury.

In fact, a recent study conducted by Brooke East Africa in Kenya concluded that 70% of owners visited an agrovet to seek advice and secure medications for their working equines whenever the animal fell sick. However, they're poorly regulated and are often not equipped with technical knowledge.

This year, Brooke USA is funding a program to train 120 agrovets in 10 counties in Kenya. As a result, there will be improved access to safe, effective, and appropriate veterinary medications and treatment for animals in need. Today your donations benefit this new project, in honor of Dorothy Brooke and the hardworking equines around the world.

Make your donation today: www.brookeusa.org/mydonation 🧡Every dollar is matched up to $10,000 and we are only about $5,264 from our goal. Join us today in making our inaugural Day of Giving a success.

When we think of Dorothy Brooke, we think of the exceptional woman who founded an organization that persists today but, many times we fail to recognize her unselfish commitment to the mission she set out to meet. Join us tomorrow for our inaugural Day of Giving in honor of Dorothy. Read more ⬇️ and make your donation at www.brookeusa.org/mydonation 🧡

This is a quote from her own diary, For Love of Horses: “So many people persist in giving me all the credit”, she writes in her diary ”...that I do want to make it abundantly clear that it would be absolutely impossible for me to achieve any fraction of success but for the unselfish, sustained and invaluable help rendered by a number of other people, who never receive adequate recognition. I have been given many more pats on the back that I deserve owing to the fact that it is my name which has always appeared in the papers, as I make all the appeals for money.”

The published diary’s editor, Glenda Spooner explained that “it is typical of her [Dorothy Brooke] that she took little credit for herself, but the real answer is that is that, but for her driving force, her persistence - added to great tact and personal charm - nothing would have been done at all. She liked to call herself the “backroom boy” when, in fact, she was the dynamo that drove the others on.”

06/11/2024

To raise funds for what would become The Brooke Hospital for the Animals, Dorothy wrote a letter to the Morning Post (which later became the Daily Telegraph) in 1931 alerting the British public to the plight of ex-war horses. The public was so moved they sent her the equivalent of £20,000 in today's money to help end the suffering of these once proud horses.

And so her legacy began!

Our Story

Brooke USA’s Mission Is To Significantly Improve The Welfare Of Working Horses, Donkeys And Mules And The People They Serve Throughout Asia, Africa, The Middle East And Latin America By Raising Funds And Responsibly Directing Them To The Areas Of Greatest Need.

Through the programs we fund, Brooke USA helps equine owners, service providers and governments in the developing world to implement scientifically-proven, practical, sustainable and culturally relevant solutions to enormous animal welfare challenges.

Brooke USA raises funds to support a wide variety of programs for working horses, donkeys and mules to help them become (and remain) healthy and happy now and in the long-term, which also benefits the very poor families who depend on those animals to help them earn a living.

Making a difference in the lives of these animals benefits the very poor families who depend on them to earn a living.
