About Us
Compassionate Care
The Donkey Clinic & Education Centre (DCEC) is a great initiative that combines animal welfare and village development. In 2014 we started helping hurt donkeys. Finally, in 2019 we were able to build the donkey Clinic Facility and are now able to give veterinary medical care to our donkeys.
The DCEC is a buzzing place with a lot of activity. In our Donkey Clinic Facility the donkeys are examined, treated and released back into the wild. A few are tamed and kept in the petting area for educational purposes.
Through this initiative we are able to change minds: not seeing the donkey as a dirty animal and a road pest, but as a smart and friendly animal.
We are working closely with the local community and are aiming to help foster local economic development with a number of start-ups. This includes fieldwork, opportunities for vet students from across the world, donkey tourism and even donkey fertilizer! We are trying hard to make this a self-sustaining venture. But any help is greatly appreciated and needed.
Activities
The Donkey Clinic & Education Centre offers a variety of activities!
When you come to visit us we can give you a presentation about the history and health of donkeys in Mannar and about our initiatives to help these animals and the local community.
We highly recommend interacting with the donkeys! You can take pictures, feed and even groom them: they love it! Moreover, if you really like a donkey, you can choose to adopt one: the monthly or yearly donation will cover the costs of care for the donkey you adopt!
The Donkey Clinic Facility has a beautiful forested ground where the donkeys are regularly taken to graze, and a pond in the middle offers an oasis of peace.
Volunteer
Do you have a passion for animal welfare and want to help in a more hands-on way? Are you planning on visiting Sri Lanka and the Mannar Area? For one day or two or longer? Then this place is for you: please contact us!
We are also always looking for veterinary students who want to gain hands-on experience. If you are planning to do volunteer work abroad, please contact us!
Over the last five years we've helped more than 500 donkeys! From light cases that stay just a few days, to hard cases that need help for many months.
Helping hands are always required and welcomed!
