Nowzad UK has a new home!

For a while we were, to put it mildly, overwhelmed.  

Within weeks of the appeal launching we had enough supplies for several large lorries to be loaded and sent on their way to Poland.

It’s been another heavy week here in Kabul. Our team is currently celebrating the Islamic festival of Eid but, with more attacks on the city, the tension is palpable. Thank goodness though - Dr Reshad, his team and all our precious rescue animals are safe. Thank you so much to everyone for asking about the situation and how they all are.
