A sanctuary built around working equines
Jarjeer began in 2014 with a mission to provide sanctuary for working equines in Morocco, particularly rescued mules and donkeys. Its founders, Susan Machin and Charles Hantom, are retired legal professionals who connected concern for animals with a commitment to local employment. The refuge describes receiving animals from different parts of the country as support for its work grew.
Grooms provide the continuity behind daily care
The team’s work includes feeding, cleaning and important medical-care tasks carried out by professional grooms. These everyday responsibilities accompany the more visible moment of a rescue. Jarjeer’s team account gives the caregivers a central place in its story, showing how practical experience and regular attention support animals after they have arrived at the refuge.
Separate spaces for injured animals
In its account of the 2019 expansion, Jarjeer describes larger stable facilities, separate paddocks for injured animals and improvements to the on-site clinic. The clinic supports visiting veterinarians and emergency care by the skilled team. These developments explain how the refuge adapted its physical spaces to accommodate both ordinary sanctuary living and animals needing additional attention.
The refuge also depends on builders and night care
Jarjeer’s staff account includes builders, gardeners, housekeeping and a night guardian alongside the grooms. Several team members help with donkey care across their usual roles. One example is the night guardian’s close relationship with Tommy, the refuge’s first donkey. The picture is of a shared workplace where animal care continues through routine maintenance and overnight supervision.
Local livelihoods are part of the project
The organisation identifies secure jobs and opportunities for local people as part of its mission, with benefits extending to families in the surrounding area. Visitors can arrange a visit through the official booking route, while sponsorship and donations support the refuge. Its published team and vision pages offer a way to understand the people and facilities behind that support. Official programme information · AnimalProtech map.
