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!

You might have spotted our brilliant Chief Veterinary Advisor, Dr. Lachlan Campbell, making international headlines recently. We’re all feeling very proud of him today, and his incredible efforts since 2022 to help the people and animals of Ukraine. And as Lach will be the first to tell you, behind every emergency surgery he performs, every stray he stabilises, and every animal he treats in eastern Ukraine, there is a machine working around the clock! It takes fuel to reach the conflict zones

🐴 WE DID IT! 🐴 Thanks to the incredible support from all of you, we officially raised enough funds to purchase and send the much-needed medicines to the horse rescue sanctuary in Kyiv that Nowzad has partnered with! 🇺🇦❤️ As many of you saw in our last post, several of the horses became very poorly after ingesting toxins from a bad batch of hay. It was a very stressful race against time, but you all responded so quickly and so passionately to our plea for help. Because of your generosity, t

Happy Monday, Nowzad family! 🐾 These cats and kittens really do choose their moments! In Scooby’s case, he turned up in the most unexpected of places: a linen room in Ukraine! It all started when a translator thought they heard a mouse rustling around. Investigations commenced before they uncovered a tiny, solo kitten. At an estimated 2 to 3 weeks old, this little fighter had unfortunately been separated from his mum — likely scared off by the two local dogs patrolling the base. With the clo
