Rescued Equines Remain Safe in Kabul

We have a quick update for our supporters regarding the rescued equines living at our partner group Nowzad’s sanctuary in Kabul. Despite the high degree of chaos and uncertainty in Afghanistan currently, Pen Farthing reassured us, “The donkeys and horses are safe for now.” Nowzad staff have fortunately been evacuated to England and the team are incredibly busy dealing with all the rescued animals who are in quarantine or kennels.

Pen informed AAA that Nowzad are also in the process of re-registering with the new Taliban government, hopeful that they will authorise the continuation of their sanctuary and projects for working animals. Pen sent us the montage below of some rescued animals, taken two weeks ago.

We will continue to keep you updated regarding any further developments on the ground in Kabul and are sending our thoughts and best wishes to all Nowzad staff and animals during this extremely challenging time.
