World Animal Day 2023

Wednesday 4th October was World Animal Day 2023 and it was a busy one for Nowzad teams this year!

Our vets in Kabul spent the day at one of Kabul’s brick kilns vaccinating lots of working horses and donkeys there, providing free water troughs and even building portable stables to offer some protection to the animals from the sun’s relentless heat.  See: https://www.worldanimalday.org.uk/events/promoting-horse-and-donkey-welfare-at-kabuls-brick-kilns-nowzad/

Our Nowzad staff in Ukraine organised two training seminars at the Lviv University Veterinary Faculty on animal emergency aid and a brand new animal electronic identification system specially developed for use in Ukraine by our Australian partner AWAMO. See:

Back here in the UK, our Raise 4 Nowzad Team has launched a special online Christmas auction running through October, specifically to raise money for World Animal Day and the animal shelters Nowzad supports. Please see the following link and join the facebook group to raise some money! https://www.worldanimalday.org.uk/events/special-raise-4-nowzad-auction-for-world-animal-day/

Thank you to everyone for taking part and dedicating this special day of the year to honour the world’s animals - big and small!

Instead of our usual Fury post this week, and due to the whole, absolutely devastating situation in the region, we wanted to give an update from our team in Kabul. Thank you to every one of you who have asked us how they and all the animals are doing recently. We always pass your messages on. And it helps so much in times like these. ❤️ Your kindness and care keeps our teams going, until that day when peace finally replaces conflict and war. “In recent months, daily life in Afghanistan has b

Our beautiful girl Pat spent the majority of her life as a working donkey in one of the harshest environments we could imagine – within the high-altitude villages surrounding Kabul, Afghanistan. Here, donkeys are the lifeblood of the community, often providing the only means of transporting water and goods. Pat was forced to perform this gruelling work while battling rickets - a condition caused by severe nutritional deficiencies. This led to a softening of her bones, causing her legs to bow un
