GOOD NEWS 🫶 🇹🇿 Thanks to your support in 2025, NFA & ASPA ran clinics at Arusha’s busiest markets. 5,125 donkeys treated, 5,800 dewormed & hundreds of owners trained in safe harnessing & handling 🫏 👉 Your support keeps them healthy & pain-free: bit.ly/NFAGNU1760X.

Raising donkey welfare awareness in Mgusu Through the Geita Hoof Print Project (supported by Brooke East Africa), ASPA has installed signposts promoting the Five Animal Welfare Freedoms—helping donkey owners and communities improve care and treatment. Awareness drives change.

21 donkeys rescued in Lengijave including 4 young foals. After a 7-hour illegal trek from Meserani, suspects were found asleep waiting for transport across the border. Swift action by ASPA & STPU led to arrests and ensured the animals’ safety. Supported by Brooke East Africa.

🐴 Celebrating a Year of Progress for Donkey Welfare 🐴 From June 2025, IAPWA was proud to work alongside @aspa_tz to support Donkey Mobile Clinics in the hard to reach communities of Nanja and Ngarenanyuki in Tanzania – areas where access to veterinary care for working animals is extremely limited 🚑 In just six months, these Donkey Mobile Clinics: 💉 Treated 750+ working donkeys suffering from illness or injury 👨🏻 Reached 450+ owners and community members, providing education on humane care and responsible donkey welfare Donkeys received treatment for painful wounds, lameness, musculoskeletal issues, eye and skin conditions, alongside deworming and essential vitamin support – improving their health and reducing suffering. The educational element of the programme also ensured that the clinics extended beyond immediate treatment and led to long-term welfare improvement 📈 As our donkey welfare programme comes to a close, we’re proud to reflect on what we’ve achieved together. Thank you for helping make this life-changing work possible 🤎

In Rwamgasa, Geita, a training on improved donkey cart harness fitting is making a difference. Moga is an early adopter of a modified single-shaft donkey cart, which reduces strain and improves balance on Animal Geita Hoof Print Project is supported by the Brooke East Africa.

In rural Arusha, water = donkeys. These animals provide more support to Tanzanian livelihoods than almost any other domestic animal, yet their work is often invisible. We're urging communities to protect the animals that help them survive. #DonkeyWelfare #WaterIsLife

Happy #FoalFriday from this side! Donkeys deserve a life worth living—and we're making sure their voices are heard.

Hello 2026 ✨ Please be kind to all the animals of the world. They work for us, walk with us, and share this planet with us. This year, let compassion lead our actions. #Hello2026 #BeKindToAnimals #CompassionInAction #AnimalWelfare

🎉❤️ Wishing you a happy and compassionate new year from ASPA! Let's make it a year where communities come together to value and care for ALL animals - from the furriest friends to the humblest donkeys. Together, let's spread kindness and compassion! 🌟 #CompassionForAll

Arusha's dry season is harsh this year. 😥 The solution? In 2023 @TheBrookeEA-supported 20,000L water point in Meserani! It stores a reliable supply for 1,600 donkeys & 8,000 livestock, drastically cutting the distance women/children must trek. A true win for welfare

Born to stand out — even in black & white 💕 #FoalFriday vibes!

Happy Foal Friday! ✌️ This little one is sending peace to camera and all the good vibes for the weekend. #FoalFriday #DonkeyLove #PeaceToCamera

🇹🇿 After hauling backbreaking loads for 25 miles (40km), 300 donkeys in Tanzania are suffering 6+ hours in the baking sun. We must build shaded rest areas with water troughs before summer hits! 🐴 👉 Help us protect them from heat & dehydration today: bit.ly/NFAATD11X.

When donkeys are making stories Donkey 1: 'They’re taking our moments! Donkey 2: 'Chill, they're the welfare people. Play it cool, we might get hay.' 🙏

It’s Foal Friday! 💕 This little one is kicking into the weekend with pure energy and joy. #FoalFriday #DonkeyJoy #aspatz
