SPRING IS HERE!
WELCOME TO JARJEER MULE AND DONKEY REFUGE WHERE ACTIONS ARE BASED ON ETHICAL VALUES RATHER THAN PERSONAL GAIN
Everything we do is only possible because of our dedicated staff team. Jarjeer would not succeed by relying on volunteers. The work is hard, it requires strength and equine handling skill. We have it in abundance from our men who have developed not only skills but a rapport with all our rescues.
Here is Khalid with one of the horses saved from the slaughterhouse who is expected to foal within the next month!
We face the forthcoming year with mixed emotions! Firstly sheer amazement at what has been achieved this past year as the whole team has pulled together to meet the continuing demand to care for the abandonned, the disabled and the elderly working animals. Jarjeer is now home to 280 donkeys mules and horses. The Refuge never envisaged saving horses as we genuinely believed there were other facilities to care for them. The pandemic and the earthquake changed everything and we can now say that we are a very large retirement home for these working animals and thankfully are recognised internationally. Secondly, our running costs have soared beyond all recognition, the photograph below is a weekly delivery quite separate from sugar beet, bran and medical supplies. the team remains indebted to our regular donors.
Make this a season to remember by preserving our land for the future.
