The Nowzad charity’s Kabul team planned a full day of education and awareness in preparation for World Rabies Day which was on the 4^th October 2024.

Our Nowzad Veterinary Team hosted a large education and outreach event at Kabul University, which included students and teachers from the veterinary faculty and other departments, plus government officials and municipality staff.

The team distributed leaflets explaining rabies prevention within the university along with our teams posting rabies prevention posters around all the main gathering areas in Kabul.

This deadly disease still claims over 1000 Afghan nationals every year, (that are actually known to be caused by rabies, we estimate there are sadly many more) due to the widespread lack of knowledge of the disease. Here in Afghanistan it is called ‘mad dog’ disease.

The Nowzad team offered free rabies vaccinations (as we do every day due to your amazing support) to all owned dogs and cats brought to the Nowzad’s hospital or through appointments at homes across the city.

And this is only possible due to the amazing donations we receive from you. Your generous support is the difference for the work that the Nowzad charity does on your behalf in Afghanistan.  

By continuing to donate you are promoting animal welfare in Afghanistan. Thank you for being amazing!
