Younger Chinese generation is driving the importation of tonnes of donkey meat from Kenya, which is in turn threatening to reduce the donkey numbers .The report published in January this year shows that China’s demand for donkey hides is hinged on the skin’s medicinal properties. A gelatinous material- E’jiao – is believed to have anti-ageing and libido-enhancing properties, fueling the demand for donkey hides.

The local communities are complaining of the reduction in numbers of donkeys,donkeys have been means of transport in this areas thus playing an integral part in their lives,thus we have taken this initiative to sensitize,educate and mobilize the local communities about importance donkeys this will happen through community meetings,door to door educative sessions and buying of new Donkeys to severely affected persons so that they regain their former status of economic and social status in the communities.
