The Donkey Sanctuary joined the community in Nuu, Mwingi to celebrate this year world water day where Donkeys were provided with free vet care and checks.This years World Water Day themme is Water for Peace.
Speaking during the celebrations Florence Makau of The Donkey Sanctuary said that without donkeys life will be tough especially for women and girls who will be forced to seek water and carry it themselves. On his part Dr Solomon the Country Director of the Donkey Sanctuary in Kenya said that donkeys are truly a life saver for many communities and life would be very hard without donkeys.
Donkeys are used to transport water and in many communities in Kenya donkeys will be seen working side by side with women to fetch and transport water.It is therefore important to celebrate the donkeys in this year's World Water Day as they contribute immensely to water access.
