🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Today, we’re celebrating the luck of the Irish—and what better symbol of luck than the horseshoe? Traditionally, horseshoes have been believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune, especially when hung with the open end facing up to "catch" the luck!

Horses have long played a vital role in Irish history and folklore. From the legendary kelpie and the mystical Énbarr to Ireland’s world-renowned Connemara ponies and Irish Sport Horses, these incredible animals have shaped myth and reality. They’ve carried warriors into battle, worked the land, and become beloved symbols of strength and resilience.

So today, let’s celebrate our equine companions and the incredible legacy they hold in Irish culture!🐴 Sláinte!

In India, a working horse, donkey or mule typically supports a family of six people. For the thousands of animals working in the brick kiln industry, these animals often have painful and short lives.
But there is hope, and that hope begins with you

Working horses, donkeys, and mules are the engines that mobilize the lives of people. Much like their owners, they often work seven days a week for long hours in challenging conditions to take care of their families who rely on them for survival. Without proper veterinary care, and nutrition – which many owners don’t have access to or simply can’t afford, the arduous work affects the welfare and health of these animals.

Celebrating Women Like Manjulaben on 🌍

Manjulaben’s days begin and end with the well-being of her donkeys. Working alongside her husband at a brick kiln, she ensures their five donkeys—especially her favorite, Tikhi—are cared for, fed, and sheltered. While her husband transports bricks, she tends to their animals, offering them shade, water, and comfort amidst the demanding work.

With guidance from Brooke USA-funded projects, Manjulaben and her husband built shelters to protect their donkeys from the harsh sun, showing how compassion and knowledge can transform people's and animals' lives.

This , we celebrate the strength, dedication, and love of women like Manjulaben, who make the world a kinder place—one donkey at a time. 🧡

In Pakistan, working equines are used in coal mines. These animals carry loads of up to 200 pounds, which is far more than what a donkey can bear. The working conditions faced by both coal mine workers and their equines have a negative impact on their wellbeing and welfare. Brooke USA works to relieve the suffering of donkeys working in coal mines in Pakistan and improve the livelihoods of their owners.

Including gifts to charities in your estate plan can alleviate any concerns about donating too much too early and possibly overextending yourself if you need your nest egg for long-term care or other expenses. You can feel generous now by giving later, while keeping a cash cushion for your future. But the donation process requires forethought to ensure your wishes are carried out after you are gone. For information on including Brooke USA in your Will, contact Emily Dulin, CEO, at [email protected].
