Life at the Geita Gold Mines – Through the Eyes of a Donkey

The beauty of the gold in the market tells a different story; the reality remains silent for the carriers of the raw materials in Geita.

Each day, donkeys traverse the harsh and hilly terrain of the Geita gold mines — tirelessly transporting heavy loads of soil and ore that sustain small-scale gold mining. Their strength powers livelihoods, yet their struggles often go unseen.

At ASPA, we stand for these silent heroes with Brooke East Africa — advocating for humane treatment, better harnessing, rest, and access to clean water and veterinary care. Because behind every ounce of gold lies a story of endurance, resilience, and the spirit of the working donkey. 💛

With support from The Brooke East Africa , our team recently conducted hands-on training on donkey handling and welfare with veterinary students from Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) in Morogoro Region.

The session empowered future veterinarians with practical knowledge on safe handling, proper restraint, and understanding donkey behavior — ensuring humane care and improved welfare for working animals.

Together, with our partner, we’re nurturing compassionate professionals who will make a lasting impact on the lives of donkeys and the communities they serve.

Together with our partner The Brooke East Africa , we’ve started training owners on fodder production — helping them grow and store nutritious feed so their donkeys can stay strong, healthy, and well cared for.

At Mgusu Mining Cooperative Society in Geita, Tanzania, donkeys are the backbone of small-scale mining. Recently, a foal named Mulekwa, born on 15th August 2025, lost his mother within the first week of life. Luckily Mulekwa has turned one month old.

The mother had been Simon’s loyal companion for years, giving birth to five other donkeys and carrying heavy loads without complaint.

Simon shared, “I found Mulekwa alone, wandering near his mother’s body.”

With limited resources and knowledge, Simon is struggling to care for the foal, even paying for cow’s milk daily to keep him alive.

Mulekwa’s survival now depends on the kindness of compassionate people. Sponsor Mulekwa today to help cover milk, care, and essentials, giving this tiny foal a chance to grow strong and healthy.

From pain to peace!

This donkey's transformation is a testament to the power of compassion and partnership.

Thanks to our collaboration with IAPWA, we were able to swiftly intervene and treat this sweet soul in Nanja Market, Monduli, Arusha.

Months of care and dedication have paid off, and this donkey is now thriving!

With initiatives like these, we're committed to bringing relief to many more working animals in need.

It’s Foal Friday again! ❤️

Hello September!

In Arusha, September marks the beginning of the dry season — a time when women trek long distances in search of water.

During these hard times, donkeys step in as lifelines, carrying heavy loads of water cans and easing the burden on families.

Isn’t this reason enough to show them the care and compassion they deserve?

Isn’t this beautiful to wrap up August? 💛

On this , see the love and affection of a donkey mother gently laying her head on her foal.

Moments like these remind us why every donkey deserves care, respect, and compassion. 🐴✨
