Over the past 8 months, the dedicated team at the Nowzad Donkey Sanctuary in Kabul provided a safe home for rescued working horses and donkeys. Many of the animals have endured years of hard labour and profound suffering, but thanks to the kindness of our supporters, they now have a chance to heal and find peace.

In August, the Okavango Animal Welfare Trust (OAWT), with the incredible support of our donors, held veterinary outreach clinics. It was 2 days of care and treatment for horses and donkeys. Nxamasere: 46 horses and 37 donkeys were treated...

The Blind Love team decided to head to a new area called Jozi in June. The goal was to connect with new donkey owners but getting word out was difficult. The outreach didn’t work as planned, so the team returned in July with help from Maloli, a dedicated SPCA officer who knew the area well and notified owners.

Take a look at so many heartwarming photos of rescue, recovery and healing. As of today, there are 53 donkeys in the Hope Compound area. This week, they transitioned 3 donkeys who completed their rehab into the large herd. One of them was pregnant and we’re happy to share that she gave birth yesterday!

In the heights of Kedarnath, our project partner Friendicoes set up a 3 week camp to care for the hardworking mules that guide pilgrims up to the sacred shrine of Lord Shiva.  These tough treks take a toll on the animals, and our team was there to treat every ache, pain, and injury that came their way. The team treated 1,997 cases, including colic, backsores, eye injuries, and lameness. 

The Help in Suffering, Camel Rescue Centre (CRC) team is excited to share some fantastic updates, thanks to the incredible support from all of you! This month, the team treated 774 animals, including 349 camels during 22 out visits.

A wild update from Animal Nepal Dukuchhap Animal Sanctuary. Monsoon rains continue and an unexpected leopard visits! Thanks to robust safety measures, all the animals were safely indoors and no harm came to them. The sanctuary also welcomed students from Premier International School, who interacted with the animals and learned about animal welfare from Dr. Sajana, the sanctuary’s vet.

July became a month of positive change for working cart horses. The Blind Love team was able to provide essential care and treatment to a record 75 horses during their outreaches! From treating saddle sores to deworming and distributing humane harnesses. The team is also excited to welcome a skilled farrier and will now hold monthly farrier outreaches. An incredible addition to the team! 

The Nowzad team had a busy July, caring for 170 working animals, including 53 donkeys and 117 horses, thanks to your incredible support! From vaccinations to life-saving surgeries, they provided essential care during the scorching heat, bringing relief with veterinary care at the sanctuary and in the field.

In just one month, ZWDP gave 145 donkeys kindness and care. Medical care was a priority with treatments including worming treatments, insect bite preventatives and wound care. ZWDP also replaced 7 harmful ox yokes with humane harnesses. We're thrilled to share an update on Memory, a sweet girl donkey who...
