Dedicated Vet Team Changing the Lives of Animals in Afghanistan

During November, Nowzad’s dedicated veterinary team provided essential care for 145 working equines. This included preventative care such as deworming and vaccinations. In addition, they assisted 27 other animals including cows, calves and goats.

Nowzad’s farrier attended to 18 horses, donkeys and goats.

Twenty-two humane harnesses and 49 warm blankets were distributed for working horses, donkeys and even cows.
