Adopt a Donkey
These one-of-a-kind donkeys were hand-crafted by a women’s collective in Mullakas Peru, an EI service region. This community relies predominately on donkeys to support their livelihoods through transportation, tourism, agriculture, and household chores. The Mullakas women’s collective helps local women develop opportunities for income generation through the production and sale of textiles, crafts, and local goods.
