Nowzad Afghanistan
22 April 2022

After the turbulence that has followed since the Taliban were handed back the power over Afghanistan on the 15th August 2021, the Nowzad charity has worked extremely hard to re-establish our operations in Kabul.

We are extremely proud of our staff who stayed behind and have continued through what has been an absolutely hellish transition period. They have looked after our donkeys and horses (plus David the cow and Jaja the goat) whilst we planned how to restart.

Kindness and hospitality is a common quality amongst the Ukraine people and Liuba most certainly encompasses all of that and more. She is also a qualified vet, an opera lover, history buff and most talented artist as she embroidered the intricate art on the very top she's wearing in this photo! Liuba deeply loves her countr
