Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust

The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust (GHDT) is a small charity, registered in both the UK and The Gambia. With no tradition of horsemanship in The Gambia and a combination of poor management, high disease risk and poverty, farmers were investing comparatively large amounts of money for a working animal only for it to die, too often within six months. The aim of the GHDT is to reduce rural poverty in The Gambia through improving the health, welfare and productivity of working animals.
