In this section you can find out more about the Donkey Sanctuary Overseas Travel Grants

The aim of The Donkey Sanctuary is to prevent the suffering of donkeys worldwide through the provision of

  • high quality professional advice
  • training
  • support on donkey welfare

Overseas, teams of staff are helping literally hundreds more donkeys every day, by providing free veterinary treatment and giving practical advice to the owners who are dependent on their animals

The Donkey Sanctuary travel scholarship scheme awards grants to cover travel and subsistence expenses for veterinary undergraduates visiting a project site in Mexico, Ethiopia, Egypt, Kenya or India.
