Send a donkey

Donkeys make kick-ass gifts!

In Sudan, where water is scarce and working the hard, dusty land is a constant battle, a donkey is invaluable. A hardy donkey can help a family carry water from distant wells – and plough the land to make it ready for growing crops.

To the very poorest people, a healthy donkey is an essential family member.

You can now give a donkey as a gift through Practical Presents You can do this by sending a donkey on someone else's behalf to the developing world as a fantastic charity gift.

A donkey can carry large loads over long distances, which really eases the burden of fetching and carrying supplies to and from market. Donkeys are adapted to marginal desert lands and rough terrain, and need less food than horses. Plus there’s the bonus of free fertiliser.

You can send a Donkey to the developing world as a gift on someone else's behalf quickly and easily online at the Practical Presents website. You just choose your Donkey gift, and then a card with your personal message to be sent to the person on whose behalf you are giving the gift.
