• the Gambia Horse and Donkey trust (veterinary care and education for those working equids and their owners that need it desperately)
• the Mozambique vet school (educating the future generation of veterinarians)
• Changing Lives Malawi (improve opportunities for children)
• Shy Lowen horse and pony sanctuary (helping people and horses)
