Public awareness programmes in Kabul

16 April 2025

Beyond rescue and treatment however, Nowzad also conducts vital public awareness programmes!

Last Friday, our team organised a large awareness campaign across Kabul, to educate people about animal welfare, and how to mitigate the risk of rabies - a killer disease, particularly in countries like Afghanistan that don't have the resources to tackle it.

Awareness initiatives like this are among the most effective strategies for bringing positive change to society, and it is always a real win for us to see the younger generations so interested and engaged!

Donating is the difference for vital educational work like this. Thank you.

A severe eye infection seems to have ruptured both eyes, plunging the poor girl into complete darkness. To alleviate her pain and restore some semblance of normalcy, the veterinary team performed a delicate surgical procedure on Friday and removed both eyes. Despite profound challenges, this brave cat has adapted remarkably

We are so pleased to report that our young foal, rescued by the team from a brutal dog attack in Kabul last November, is recovering amazingly well at Nowzad’s Donkey Sanctuary. Discovered by Dr. Reshad, the foal, initially named “No Ears” by @penfarthing due to the loss of her ears during the attack, suffered severe injuries and was found unable to stand after her tethering rope had gotten caught all around her legs. She was going to

If you like a bit of good ole country sounds then please visit www.nowzad.com/news (link also in bio ⬆️) to buy his debut album - maybe we can help him get the album into the top ten!
