When the animals are well and prosper, so do the owners, families and communities who depend on these animals for their livelihood.

The Brooke helps 900,000 horses, donkeys and mules a year working throughout the developing world through a network of over 800 highly-skilled field staff.

The Brooke currently operates across Asia, Africa, Central America and the Middle East. The Brooke's mobile teams travel to communities to provide free veterinary treatment where it is needed most and train owners and other local people how to provide the most effective care for their animals.

The Brooke also undertakes groundbreaking, practical research to reveal the best solutions for reducing animal suffering - applying unique and proven methods developed with Bristol University Veterinary School in the UK.

By 2016 it aims to have measurably improved the lives of 2 million suffering horses, donkeys and mules a year. The enormous difference the Brooke makes is thanks to the kindness of its worldwide supporters - including the American Friends of the Brooke - and the dedication, care and compassion of its local vets and field workers.  

As an American Friends contributor, your generous gift can do so much. Every dollar counts – even small amounts of money go a long way in the poor countries where the Brooke works – and really can make a difference.
