Kenyan water trader Bernard Irungu speaks about how donkeys have been cructal in his water business on the outskirts of Naivasha town, northwest of Nairobi. They have helped him pay rent, school fees, and buy food. All that changed when his donkeys started disappearing three years ago.
"One morning two donkeys I used to work with went missing. A month later I bought two more donkeys and after a year, they also disappeared,” says Irungu.
