Have you ever wished you could make a real difference in a rescued animal's life? Well now you can!
Nowzad, dedicated to helping animals in crisis, launched its animal sponsorship programme in January 2025 as a special way to start the new year. We're so excited about this because it's a direct way for you to support the animals who need it most.
Our sponsorship programme focuses on the special residents of our Afghan rescue centres – the dogs, cats, and donkeys who, for various reasons, will never find a forever home. These are the animals who will benefit immediately from the programme.
So - meet some of our first ever sponsored animals: Charlie and Maqbola - two sweet donkeys from our sanctuary; and Babri, Diesel, and Nazli - two dogs and one adorable cat from our hospital.
In Afghanistan, we run the country's only 24/7 emergency animal hospital. It's not just a hospital, though—it's home for many of our rescued dogs and cats. Sponsorship helps us provide them with everything they need.
On the other side of Kabul lies our Donkey Sanctuary - a safe haven for working equines rescued from a life of hardship and suffering. We have 13 donkeys, a horse and a goat currently enjoying their retirement there, including our two sponsor donkeys. As well as rescuing any horses or donkeys in dire need of help, Nowzad’s mobile equine clinic travels out to communities daily, bringing vital veterinary care to animals in need.
Every penny from the sponsorships goes directly to keeping these life-saving programmes running, on top of caring for these five special animals. It's a lifeline for them, and it means the world to us. Every kind sponsor receives a sponsorship pack including a personalised certificate, photograph and detailed record card and history of their chosen rescue, plus two surprise gifts and ongoing updates from the hospital and sanctuary.
A heartfelt thank-you to all our wonderful sponsors so far in 2025, and a very warm welcome to the Nowzad family!
