How do I know it is used to help an Afghan stray companion animal? Can my donation go towards a specific animal?</span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: #888888; font-family: Arial;">Answer from Nowzad: </span></strong><span style="color: #888888; font-family: Arial;">As a charity we are bound by the strict auditing regulations demanded by the UK charity commission. The board of trustees make sure the money is used to maximum effect in making a difference to the lives of animals in Afghanistan, which includes the daily running costs of the Nowzad Afghan shelter, rescue transport costs, animal food and medicines (including vaccines) and of course our Afghan staff wages. If, for whatever reason the companion animal rescue is not successful (disease or injury) then Nowzad will use the money collected on this&nbsp;Just Giving&nbsp;page to support the daily running of the Nowzad shelter &ndash; if you are not happy with our policy then please do not donate as we are unable to offer refunds.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> </p> <p style="font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 19px; background-color: transparent; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-color: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; padding: 0px;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
