Why Donkeys Suffer in Pakistan
Working donkeys in Pakistan are used in brick kilns, markets, water transport and construction settings. Many owners have little money and no nearby veterinary access. This does not excuse cruelty, but it explains why preventable problems become severe: harness wounds, infected cuts, lameness, dehydration and exhaustion.

What Practical Rescue Looks Like
For working donkeys, rescue usually means bringing veterinary help to the animal rather than taking the animal away. Mobile clinics can treat wounds, trim hooves, rasp teeth, give pain relief, deworm animals and teach owners how to prevent repeat injuries.

Why This Helps Families Too
A healthier donkey can work with less pain and less risk of collapse. When welfare support is delivered respectfully, owners are more likely to accept better harnessing, rest, water and veterinary advice.

Brick Kiln and Industrial Donkey Abuse
Working donkeys in Pakistan's brick kilns and industrial zones haul heavy loads in extreme heat with inadequate water, rest or hoof care. Wounds from ill-fitting harnesses, lameness and colic from poor nutrition are routine — mobile veterinary clinics are the primary response WARN funds.

What a Mobile Clinic Visit Delivers
A single clinic day can treat dozens of donkeys: wound dressing, hoof trimming, dental checks, deworming and humane harness education for owners. Roughly £50–100 funds a field vet day depending on caseload and travel.

Why UK Donors Choose WARN — Transparent Partner Grants
WARN is a registered UK Community Interest Company (Company no. 17298990) and is not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid. The donation case is transparent partner-led welfare where support reaches practical field needs. WARN states upfront that gifts fund WARN's 17-country partner network across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, Southern Africa and South America programmes through vetted local partners — not WARN-run sanctuaries. Every gift is receipted; give one-off at donate or monthly at monthly giving.
