Dirty or infected tissues, disposed packaging, diapers, bottles, leftover food and other waste that leaves our homes makes it to someone’s hand to sort, pick, and dispose. These are mostly women and Dalits – and despite working consistently through every lockdown to ensure our homes and streets are clean, they remain largely invisible and entirely vulnerable.2020 took a huge toll on waste-pickers. Their incomes declined though they were continuously exposed to infection while working throughout the lockdown. Their critical services of collection and recycling, save money for the municipality and ensure our waste is properly managed and recycled. The second wave and the rising cases in Pune, has crippled the community again, and most families are now dependent on the income of the waste-picker member. Amidst the growing instability, they have continued to provide the essential service of waste collection and management to the citizens of Pune.  
 Our campaign: Direct cash, safety, vaccination support for 3,500 waste-pickers. Every rupee you donate will be doubledEvery donation made to this campaign will be matched additionally and equally by our partner organization, the Harish &amp; Bina Shah Foundation. 1. Cash transfers: Rs.1000 to each waste-picker with priority to elderly/women/differently-abled. 2. PPE kits distribution: Costing Rs.235 PPE kits (5 soaps, 2 100 ml sanitiser bottles, 2 PU coated gloves, 2 double layered 3 ply cloth masks) each month. 3. Vaccination support: Rs.500 for both shots per waste-picker towards travel cost/loss of income. About the matching donor: The HBS Foundation (The Harish &amp; Bina Shah Foundation) will be supporting this campaign with an equal donation for every rupee raised. This Mumbai-based family foundation actively works with nonprofits across India on issues related to agriculture, education, livelihoods, gender equity, human rights, governance and healthcare, and promotes the empowerment of individuals, collectives and organizations. They are past and continued supporters of KKPKP's work. 
 This initiative ensures waste pickers have access to funds while continuing to work despite substantial loss of income, that waste pickers are safe and healthy and continue servicing the city and supporting their families, and to ensure that no waste-picker is left out of the vaccination process.

Waste-pickers of Pune call for support in the devastating times of Covid-19.

Thousands of innocent cows are left on the street without a home. Many of them are just aged, injured, or abandoned. Many of these fall in the hands of butchers. These cows when abandoned roam freely on streets which is one of the causes of accidents and ultimately deaths. These cows are docile creatures who do not harm anyone at all. However, once they grow old, their owners disown them because they are of no use to them. According to the Livestock Census, 2019, India is home to more than 19.34 million stray cattle. These cows give milk all its life but when they grow old, they have to struggle a lot for survival which is very insane and bad. 
 For millions of stray cattle and innocent cows, Gaushala is a place which they can call home. Shri Krishnayan Desi Gaushala is a home to more than 18000 destitute cows and cattle which all are living a happy and peaceful life. Many of these cows have been brought to Gaushala from horrible times. Some of them were disabled or deeply injured even fighting for their life. We not only give these cows a second home but also a second chance of a happy life. Most of these cows in the Gaushala are milk barren but they are looked after very well with utmost care. They are fed with a mixture of fodder that includes Wheat, Green Grass, Dried Grass, and Jaggery. They are given plenty of water and have acres of land to move around. They are also looked after by an expert team of doctors in the Gaushala and are treated with quality medicines. Amid these difficult times, Shri Krishnayan Gaushala is feeding and taking care of these precious animals. We urge people to come forward to donate towards this noble cause so that these native Indian (Desi) cows can live a peaceful and happy life.  
 Not only these cows are saved and sheltered but it helps us in the following ways:<ul><li>Native Indigenous cows are saved and protected</li><li>Promotion and development of a high-quality breed of desi cows</li><li>Organic farming will be promoted by using gobar and gaumutra as manure and pesticides.</li><li>Environment will be protected and conserved</li><li>Research and development in cow therapy</li><li>Awareness will be spread about the usefulness of desi cows</li><li>Skill development &amp; training to people on organic farming, dairy and on being self – reliant through cow economy.</li></ul>

Every year thousands of birds get injured due to kites flying by glass-coated Manja. This traditional festivity proves fatal for thousands of innocent flying creatures that get injured by Glass-Coated threads that cut and entangle to cause fractures, wing cuts and nerve injuries and even glass pieces embedded in their bodies. With more kites competing for space with birds, the number of injuries has risen over the years. What makes matter worse is that people continue to use dangerous strings, totally disregarding the harm they cause to the birds. 
 Conservation and protection of different species of birds by rescue and rehabilitation and by generating awareness in local people help reduce mortality of birds during the forth-coming kite-flying festival. The Festival of Makar Sankranti is celebrated in the month of January; we are planning to start this project as soon as possible so that we can rescue birds during winter vacations of school students and educate some people in these outer regions to reduce the use of glass-coated manjha. This year we will set up our main base in the Vaishali Nagar area which can cover South Jaipur, a team of doctors with all modern equipment will be placed here, a moving hospital will be at Vidhyadhar Nagar (North) and Chandlai Lake (South-East). These moving hospitals will be equipped with emergency and first aid kits with one veterinarian and 2 rescuers. After first aid and stabilizing the injured bird, it will be transferred to the Base in Vaishali.  
 During the Kite flying festival, many migratory birds come to Jaipur, these birds get injured by glass-coated manjha and many of these injured birds do not survive. During this time many raptors also get injured and die. This affects our enriched biodiversity and ecosystem. This year we are planning to save more than 100 wild birds. By saving these wild birds we are trying to help save and conserve the ecosystem.
