One Day. One Goal.
$65,000
This Giving Tuesday, help Brooke USA bring water within reach for working donkeys and the communities who depend on them.
Our goal is to raise $65,000 in one day to support sustainable water access across Kenya and Tanzania through our Buy a Donkey a Drink initiative.
And we're starting strong! Thanks to a generous $10,000 anchor gift from GeoMar, we're kicking off Giving Tuesday with meaningful support already behind this effort.
Now, we need you to help carry it forward.
This means:
Your $25 becomes $50
Your $100 becomes $200
Your $250 becomes $500
During these three hours, your gift can be matched twice while additional match funds remain:
10:00 a.m. EST/8 a.m MST/7 a.m. PST — Extra $5,000 match

Thank you to our generous donors for making these matches possible!
Every gift brings us closer to our goal and helps make reliable water access possible for working equines and the communities That Depend On Them.
Your Giving Tuesday donation powers Brooke USA’s Buy A Donkey A Drink initiative.
For working donkeys, finding water can mean long journeys, heavy loads, and hours away from feeding and rest.
Through Buy a Donkey a Drink, Brooke USA is supporting efforts to bring reliable water closer to working equines and the people who depend on them.
Working alongside Brooke East Africa and trusted local partners, the project will improve and rehabilitate water facilities across Kenya and Tanzania. From solar-powered water systems and storage tanks to community watering points and improved access at donkey shelters, these efforts are designed to make water more accessible and sustainable.
Because a donkey shouldn't have to travel miles for a drink.
Every Gift Makes a Difference
Your Giving Tuesday donation supports more than a water source.
It helps create better conditions for working donkeys and the communities that rely on them.
Your generosity helps Brooke USA and its partners:
Bring reliable water sources closer to working equines.
Improve access to drinking water for donkeys and other livestock.
Support sustainable water infrastructure and community management.
Promote better donkey welfare through education and awareness.
Together, we can help make everyday life a little easier for the animals who work so hard for the people who depend on them.
