In Mwingi, Kenya, donkeys are crucial for economic empowerment among women, providing transportation and income in a semi-arid region with poor road infrastructure. Organizations like Brooke East Africa and Caritas Kitui support these women by ensuring donkey welfare and maximizing their economic potential. Women like Pricilla Mutheya use donkeys for selling water, firewood, and sand, earning up to 10 dollars a day. Caritas-Kitui's director, Florence Ndeti, emphasizes the importance of appreciating donkeys' economic value. Josprinta Mwemdwa leads a group pooling donkey proceeds for personal growth and children's education. Ambrose Musyimi of Caritas has set targets to reach thousands of women and donkeys annually. However, the rise in donkey theft due to a local slaughterhouse poses a threat to the women's livelihood.
