This Is A Donkey Hospital In Lamu County



This Is A Donkey Hospital In Lamu County

 Donkey Sanctuary: Since the island has no motorised vehicles, transportation and other heavy work is done with the help of donkeys. There are some 2000-3000 working donkeys on the island. Dr. Elisabeth Svendsen of the The Donkey Sanctuary in England first visited Lamu in 1985. Worried by the conditions for the donkeys, the Sanctuary was opened in 1987.[7] The Sanctuary provides treatment to all donkeys free of charge.
