INTRODUCING THE POWER OF ONE Launching October 15th
As a friend of Brooke USA, you have had a profound impact on millions of lives—ONE by ONE. ONE gift at a time, ONE animal at a time, ONE community at a time. And now, you can help harness the power of ONE gift through our new year-long effort: The Power of ONE.
ONE single gift can stock a vet clinic in a remote woreda of Ethiopia with supplies. ONE donation can start a donkey club for children in Kenyan schools, teaching good handling from a young age. That’s the Power of ONE. Brooke USA’s friends and supporters coming together to join as ONE means that each of those singular gifts adds up to a life-changing (maybe even world-changing) collective ONE.
You already know the importance of working animals to poor communities across the globe. These animals carry clean water to villages, take children to school, and haul products to and from markets every day. And they need you. They need all our friends and supporters. ONE donation can change the life of an equine, a person, a community. ONE person can change countless lives. ONE gift can make a difference.
The better, bolder, brighter future of some of the poorest people and animals on earth begins with your ONE gift.

Can't Get Enough of Brooke USA? We're On the Road! 
OK, so due to restrictions on travel for the safety of our donors and staff, we are not physically on the road, but we are launching an all-new Podcast Series called "Brooke USA: On the Road." Learn about our projects, hear the updates on advocacy as we prepare to end the Donkey Hide Crisis at home, and enjoy the fun moments from our ambassadors, board members and friends as we traverse the times of COVID-19 with our six-part podcast series.
We need your help to make it a success!
The first episode airs tomorrow, September 10 (mark your calendar!)
Please engage and let us know your thoughts. Once our podcast has enough listeners to join other Podcast platforms (we're hoping to play with the big kahunas), you can leave a review to support our series. Until then, listen and share with friends. Help us get the word out there about Brooke USA and The Power of One.
