The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust is raising funds to survive during Covid-19 by joining 2.6 Challenge

Story

We want to do something good at this difficult time. Jason is ready for the challenge!

The aim of the GHDT is to reduce rural poverty in The Gambia through improving the health, welfare and productivity of working animals. Keeping horses and donkeys healthy in The Gambia is a real challenge; insect borne diseases such as Sleeping Sickness (Trypanosomiasis), African Horse Sickness, and tick fever are all too common and when these problems are combined with poor nutrition and management caused by lack of knowledge and poverty, the results can be disastrous for the farmers. With Covid-19 bringing whole world to stand-still and cancelling all fundraising events, GHDT more than ever before needs help and support.
