Two horses at the brick kilns were down to their final days — exhausted by extreme labour, malnutrition, and with nothing left to give. Our team knew they wouldn’t survive another day. Thanks to the incredible generosity of Ricky Gervais from his Mortality tour, we were able to step in, secure their release, and give them a second chance — transforming their lives from “work force” to safety, rest, and dignity. Now named Ricky and Peter, in honour of our wonderful patrons Ricky Gervais and Pete

You may well remember this brave little dog from our Sponsorship programme. Sparky’s journey started when he was found by our team in Kabul — paralysed after a horrific road traffic accident.

Thanks to expert care at the Nowzad Animal Hospital and his trusty wheelchair, he’s now a bundle of energy! And the best part? A forever family is waiting for Sparky in the US — they’ve even prepared custom ramps
