Dignity, Refuge, and Lifelong Care for Working Donkeys
Nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, Jarjeer provides an unhurried, peaceful lifetime sanctuary for over 150 elderly, injured, and rescued working equines, alongside free community veterinary care across rural Marrakech.
The Lives You Protect
Each donkey at Jarjeer has a name, a unique personality, and a harrowing past transformed into peace.
Tommy
Gentle Elder • Olive Orchard Paddock
Found exhausted and lame after hauling heavy tourist loads, Tommy was rehabilitated by our vet team and now enjoys grazing under the ancient olive trees.
Kanza
Sweet Soul • Meadow Pastures
Kanza arrived as a weak foal with deformed front knees. With specialized corrective shoes and physiotherapy, she now gallops happily with the herd.
Barnaby
Sanctuary Greeter • Visitor Yard
Barnaby is famous for trotting over to greet every visitor at the gate. He is blind in his left eye, but has the sharpest hearing for apple slices.
