FREHEL FELLOWSHIP
The Frehel Fellowship: the world's first award for the human-animal bond.
Every bond is singular. Some change a life. Some change a community. Some change the world.
The Frehel Fellowship exists to honour the animals at the centre of those bonds and to say, for the first time in history, that their contribution deserves a name.

OPERATION PEACE BOW TIE
The Peace Bow Tie protecting the bond amidst adversity.
In the Goma region of the DRC, Noble Alliance is bringing the One Health vision to life through its Blue Bow Tie Initiative. Recognizing that the well-being of people, animals, and their shared environment is interconnected, this project provides critical rescue, medical care, and nourishment to animals enduring hardship.
Each recipient wears the Blue Bow Tie of Peace, signaling a commitment to animal welfare that strengthens the entire community's resilience.
THE FIVE ARTS
Five principles to translate value into action.
THE ART OF LIVING
L'art de vivre
The human–animal bond is inseparable from the lives of all people. All societies owe it respect.
Among the initiatives we support, the University of Puthisastra in Phnom Penh offers a concrete example: by protecting and caring for stray cats, the campus safeguards the well-being of its entire community.
Noble Alliance situates such action within a broader reflection on the kind of society we choose to build, and on the values we express through the way we live alongside animals.

THE ART OF CARING
L'art de soigner
No one is exempt from caring for the bond.
Noble Alliance stands alongside those working to preserve the bonds between animals and their families when circumstances put them at risk, with the work of Dr Jon Geller offering one such example.
Noble Alliance gives these efforts a place within a wider culture of care, where the well-being of animals and the dignity of the people connected to them are understood as inseparable.

THE ART OF PROTECTING
L'art de protéger
The Bond is Inviolable.
Noble Alliance recognises and supports the commitment of people such as Ioannis Gaitanakis, whose work as a police officer demonstrates, through his involvement in animal protection and recognition of the human-animal bond, a sense of responsibility in both professional and public life.
Noble Alliance brings these commitments together within a broader movement for greater responsibility towards animals and the bonds that connect us.

THE ART OF GOVERNING
L'art de gouverner
Every city owes the bond a place.
The human animal bond belongs within the life of our cities and within the institutions that shape them.
Noble Alliance promotes the recognition of animals and their relationships with people as a legitimate consideration in public life. Through research, it brings together cities and leaders committed to understanding how policy, governance and public services can better reflect the realities of life with animals.
Noble Alliance contributes to a future in which the human animal bond has a recognised place in the way cities are governed and in the lives of the communities they serve.

THE ART OF IMAGINING
L'art d'imaginer
The bond carries the future.
The future of the human animal bond depends upon the capacity to imagine new possibilities.
Noble Alliance promotes the ideas of people whose work can enrich our understanding of the place of animals in society. Their work opens the way to new perspectives, new relationships and new forms of responsibility, as illustrated by Ana Palacios’s Sanctuaria artistic project.
Noble Alliance advances these ideas within a broader movement shaping the future of our relationship with animals.
