The Brooke's approach

American Friends of the Brooke is dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the Brooke to improve the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules across the developing world.

The Brooke’s mission

The Brooke works directly and through partners to do whatever will most improve the welfare of working horses, donkeys and mules through the alleviation of existing suffering and the development of equine welfare practices and facilities to prevent and reduce suffering in the future.

The Brooke’s vision

The Brooke's vision is of a world in which working horses, donkeys and mules are free from suffering. The Brooke delivers practical programs and provides support, advice, funding and infrastructure to its global network of employees, partners and supporters to make that vision a reality.

The Brooke’s work

• Delivering direct veterinary treatment
• Running community programs around animal health and well-being
• Influencing governments and other bodies so that donkeys get the living and working conditions they deserve.
• Delivering ground breaking, evidence-based research

These core activities ensure that the Brooke’s work also benefits poor people who rely on working animals to make a living.
