LONDON––The Brooke Hospital for Animals on December 14 pledged to invest £281,000 over the next three years to assist Safe Haven for Donkeys in the Holy Land.


Founded in 2000 by former British Airways flight attendant and Jerusalem SPCA volunteer Lucy Fensom, Safe Haven has about 90 donkeys rescued from Israel and Palestine in sanctuary care, and in August 2005 added a clinic site at the village of Tayibe, near the Palestinian border, which provides basic care to donkeys from either side.


Safe Haven won start-up help from the World Society for the Protection of Animals, but had struggled ever since, fundraising manager Wendy Ahl told ANIMAL PEOPLE.
