Support MARES: Give Dignity Back to Animals

A donkey collapsed from a broken harness. A feral kitten born in the bush. An old horse with nowhere left to go. This is why MARES exists. For over 20 years, we’ve been on the ground in Matabeleland — rescuing, rehabilitating, and educating.

We run emergency drought relief, TNR for feral cats, hands-on outreach clinics, and workshops that empower entire communities. We rely entirely on people like you. Your gift buys feed, funds surgeries, supports workshops, and keeps our team in the field where we’re needed most.

Help Us Protect the Voiceless in Matabeleland

For over 20 years, MARES has been rescuing abused and neglected donkeys, rehabilitating them back to health, and supporting rural communities with practical education. We also run humane TNR programs for feral cats, care for small animals, and ensure injured or aging horses live out their days in peace.We receive no government funding. Every rescue, every clinic, every workshop happens because of people like you.

Sponsor A Donkey

Change One Life, Forever

Many of the donkeys MARES rescues arrive broken in body and spirit — starved, overworked, injured by poor harnessing, or abandoned during drought. Rehabilitation takes time, care, and resources.

When you sponsor a donkey, you become part of their healing journey.
