Ricky Gervais is a world-renowned comedian, actor, and fiercely outspoken champion for animal rights who never hesitates to use his global platform to protect the defenseless. As a longtime patron of Nowzad, Ricky has been a powerhouse of support—powerfully backing us during the critical days of Operation Ark and regularly turning his comedy gold into real-world rescue reality. His phenomenal generosity, including transformative donations from his global stand-up tours, directly funds our frontline work in Ukraine and keeps our clinic doors open in Afghanistan. Ricky’s brilliant wit is matched only by his immense heart, making him an irreplaceable force in our mission to give conflict-zone animals a voice and a second chance at life.
