Nowzad on Air: Voices from the Frontline of Animal Welfare

The story of Nowzad began with a single, life-changing bond between a Royal Marine and a stray dog in a remote Afghan village. Since then, that spark of compassion has grown into a global mission to provide safety, medical care, and a voice for animals in the world's most challenging environments.

In this collection of podcasts and interviews, Nowzad founder Pen Farthing and guest experts share the evolution of Nowzad: from the early days of building Afghanistan’s first animal rescue centre and pioneering rabies prevention programmes, to the harrowing logistics of Operation Ark and our ongoing work today in Ukraine and Afghanistan. These conversations offer an intimate look at the resilience of our team, the deep connection between people and animals in conflict zones, and the unwavering commitment to lead with integrity when the stakes are highest.
