DONKEY SANCTAURY
The Donkey sanctuary is a non-profit organisation whose aim is to provide badly needed care for the donkeys left on Bonaire in the wild (approx. 200) in addition to the 92 in our Sanctuary. Donkeys are very much a part of Bonaire's history; they were essential for transporting goods, especially salt, before motorised vehicles were introduced. They are now no longer needed but, in turn, need our help. They need adequate supplies of food, water, shelter and medical attention. With your donations (there is no entrance fee) the Donkey Sanctuary can help them to grow old in peace. Donkeys don't have as much road sense as you do and you may find the odd one roaming about, so please look out for them when you are driving around. Still, every week a donkey is struck - so please be careful.
