The Donkey Sanctuary in Kenya

LAMU, KENYA - 2024/10/16: Donkeys are loaded with building stones in Lamu Old Town. The Donkey Sanctuary Kenya, affiliated with the Donkey Sanctuary UK, cares for sick donkeys and educates owners on proper animal care. In Lamu Old Town, where donkeys have been essential for transport since the 14th century due to narrow streets unsuitable for vehicles, these animals often face overwork, cruelty, and exposure to harmful plastic waste. The sanctuary's efforts aim to address these issues, improving the donkeys' welfare, which is crucial to the local community. (Photo by James Wakibia/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images)
