Improving Lives of Working Animals in Afghanistan
For World Animal Day 2024, Nowzad Teams will be traveling out-and-about in our new mobile equine clinic, to visit rural communities and give advice on proper horse & donkey husbandry and welfare. As part of this, we'll be distributing much smoother and kinder bits for bridles (many owners currently use bits with spikes on sadly) and softer harnesses to replace equipment currently in use. Poor harnessing is the cause of so many of the wounds and infections our teams witness in equines, everywhere they go. Thankfully it is usually easily solved by using extra padding and softer materials which our teams always promote.
We will also be putting up some more portable stabling for the horses and donkeys from 5 of the local brick kilns. Working through conditions ranging from -20 degrees to +40 is so arduous for these animals. However, a stable to provide some shelter and respite from the elements makes all the difference.
