About us
Brooke USA is dedicated to significantly improve the welfare of working horses, donkeys and mules and the people they serve throughout Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the Americas and the Caribbean by raising funds and responsibly directing them to the areas of greatest need. We do this through a holistic approach to funding which includes capacity building, sustainability programming, female empowerment and international advocacy. Brooke USA connects private philanthropists with their passion for helping relieve the suffering of working equines and their owners. Brooke USA raises funds to support a wide variety of programs for working horses, donkeys and mules to help them become (and remain) healthy and happy now and in the long-term, which also benefits the very poor families who depend on those animals to help them earn a living.

On Oct. 16, several animal welfare organizations, including Brooke USA, delivered 300,000 petitions from worldwide customers to Amazon. These petitions demand that Amazon cease to sell ejiao, the product derived from boiling the hides of donkeys and used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and luxury beauty products. Five million donkeys are inhumanely slaughtered every year to produce ejiao. We ask that you join us by emailing Andrew Jassy, CEO of Amazon, and letting him know that you want him to stop selling ejiao.

The animal cruelty and community devastation caused by the high demand for ejiao, the gelatin derived from boiling donkey hides, is leading the Brooke USA community to demand a ban on the sale of ejiao by Amazon. Today, Wed. Oct. 16, 200,000 petitions will be delivered to Amazon HQ2 in Arlington, VA. Unfortunately, and despite increasing pressure from animal welfare organizations, Amazon has refused to remove the product and protect donkeys and the families that depend on them. You can help by writing to Amazon CEO Andrew Jassy at www.BrookeUSA.org/amazon. For rally information, contact Emily.Dulin@BrookeUSA.org.

In developing nations, where over 95% of all donkeys and 60% of all horses are found, the money earned by each working equine supports between 5 and 20 family members. These hardworking animals need proper care, which includes training farriers and veterinarians within the communities in which they work to provide solutions to their needs. Brooke USA is proud to fund projects worldwide that alleviate the suffering of working horses, donkeys and mules. Learn more at brookeusa.org, and consider adding Brooke USA to your estate plans, so that together we can continue our mission.
