For a mother who has spent her entire life loving and raising her child, being beaten and mercilessly thrown out onto the streets by her own son is too heartbreaking to overcome. But this is a common story among the elderly residents of the Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. “I’ve seen mothers in old and torn clothes, their bodies smelling and their hands and feet rotting and covered in maggots,” shares Dr. G.P. Bhagat, founder of the ashram. These abandoned elderly men and women lay starving on the streets hoping for someone to rescue them from their suffering. But most people walk past them without a second glance. “Like this”, Dr. Bhagat explains, “many elders die on the roads.”Since 2003, SHEOWS (Saint Hardyal Educational and Orphans Welfare Society) has rescued over 10,000 elderly people from the streets and given them a home with care and support. The elderly staying at the ashram have all been abandoned by their families and have nowhere else to live. Your support can give them comfort after their abandonment.

The Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram has a dedicated rescue team that saves the elderly from the streets and gives them immediate medical care upon their arrival at the home. To tend to the multiple health complications of the seniors, the home has a medical facility with doctors and nurses, a physiotherapy unit, a pathology lab, a digital X-ray monitoring machine and a pharmacy to provide 24-hour care to older adults anytime they require assistance, even during emergencies. Dr. Bhagat prioritizes the health of the seniors and ensures that they receive three balanced meals a day based on their precise health requirements. Need for the fundraiserThe humanitarian mission of SHEOWS is making an impact in the area, as more and more people are being rescued and brought to Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. To meet the financial costs of running the home, SHEOWS needs support to continue providing the residents with all the facilities that they need. This includes constant care and round-the-clock medical attention, nutritious food and maintaining a hygienic environment to keep the seniors in comfort and good health. Dr. Bhagat explains that as the number of residents is increasing, SHEOWS needs support for food and medicines. “I request you to help these elderly parents lead a peaceful life.”Donate now to help Dr. Bhagat continue caring for the 500 destitute elderly and giving them shelter, food, medical care and the will to carry on living despite their tragic abandonment by their families. Your support will enable SHEOWS to keep serving abandoned senior citizens and help them recover from the trauma of abandonment and life on the streets. “I have been serving these elderly as if they were my own parents”, shares Dr. Bhagat. “I want only one thing - their tears should vanish and they should have a smile on their faces.” To help Dr. Bhagat achieve this dream, your support is critical. Donate now to help SHEOWS care for more abandoned elderly. Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest online donation platform, to support SHEOWS in their mission to rescue the abandoned elderly from the streets and give them shelter, food, medical care, recreational activities and emotional support.

In a world where animals are too often seen only as commodities to be bought and sold, Govardhan Eco Village stands as an exemplary exception. Our NGO partner is a sanctuary where cows, bulls, retired racehorses, and many other animals find not just shelter but a true home. At ISKCON's Govardhan Eco Village, every life is sacred and deserving of love, care, and respect. Here, animals are embraced instead of being seen as a burden. The dedicated and compassionate team truly believes they deserve a life of dignity too.However, the NGO depends on public support to provide the best care to animals. Sustaining this refuge of compassion requires resources for food, housing, medical care, and the dedicated hands that make it all possible. Your support can help ensure that no animal under this roof ever experiences fear or deprivation. Donate generously. Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India).<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/7637f465-2365-424d-a799-44716194aeac.webp" />A home where no animal is left behindThe cows here enjoy a life free from exploitation. Unburdened by the demands of milking cycles, they graze contentedly, forming close bonds with the caretakers who tend to their every need. Through this work, the NGO and its team strives to show the world that true service is not about what one takes from nature but what one gives back.“At Govardhan Eco Village, we don’t ask how gaumata (cows) can benefit us. We ask how we can keep gaumata happy,” says Gaurang Das, renowned spiritual leader and ISKCON Governing Body member.And it’s not just cows that this NGO serves. When a racehorse’s racing days are over, its value in the eyes of the industry vanishes, and they are painfully put out. Govardhan Eco Village has become a home for many of these majestic creatures who would have otherwise met a sad end. Here horses roam freely across lush pastures, a life without the constant abuse. With expert veterinary care, balanced nutrition, and gentle rehabilitation, each horse learns to trust again and to thrive in a peaceful environment.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/3ca82071-b2c2-4e98-b258-9b77e9298762.webp" />Male calves born on dairy farms often face immediate culling or abandonment simply because they cannot produce milk. At Govardhan Eco Village, they welcome them with open arms. Instead of a cruel fate, these young bulls grow up surrounded by affection, safe from harm and provided with the highest quality feed and medical attention. As they mature, they become symbols of hope, reminding us that every living being has intrinsic worth.Give the gift of life and love to those who cannot ask for it in words. Please donate today and help continue this vital mission.Why your support mattersBy donating to Govardhan Eco Village, you join a community committed to redefining how we treat the most vulnerable among us.

I know how it feels like to lose a loved one to cancer and I am not alone in my grief. There are thousands of people struggling to save their family members,” says Priya, daughter of noted actress Nargis Dutt, who lost her life to cancer, and in whose name the NGO has been founded.

But doctors say that if detected early and if a patient receives essential treatment, the illness can be defeated and the person can return to their lives. “Treatment of cancer often depends on multiple factors including the type of cancer and the stage in which it is detected. Some patients require surgery while some can be cured with just chemotherapy or immunotherapy. “Whatever may be the need, our nonprofit supports patients till the time they are cancer free. We not only take care of the cost of treatment but even assist patients with nutrition which is vital in the fight against cancer. Moreover, we ensure that family members who are already facing immense hardships get proper accommodation and food during treatment so they don’t suffer any further,” says the NGO leader.

﻿·       Street dogs are estimated to be 30 million in India. The challenges of their co-existence with people includes conflicts, diseases such as rabies, bites, chasing, barking, creating a mess and generally viewed as too many in areas. ·       There is no comprehensive, scientific and humane dog management program across India. The Animal Birth Control (ABC) is implemented ad hoc based on a city’s decision to undertake such a project. ·       Most ABC programs are unscientifically, haphazardly implemented, often leading to more suffering for the dogs. ·       Street dogs face abuse, relocation, killing, poisoning and various forms of torture despite their protection under Indian law that gives them the right to live where they are born. 
 ·      Humane Society International India is working on several aspects of animal welfare amd protection. One of the core focusess is on reducing human-dog conflict by sterilizing and vaccinating street dogs and building community awareness. ·      HSI/India is implementing mass sterilization and vaccination (ABC) projects in Lucknow in addition to Vadodara, and Uttarakhand – Dehradun and surrounding areas (Doiwala, Vikasnagar, Herbetpur) , Mussoorie, Nainital and surrounding areas (Bhimtal and Bhowali). ·      Our ABC projects are implemented by doing scientific surveys at the beginning and throughout a project. Our protocols for all activities are developed and followed keeping in mind a street dogs' welfare. Every dog that goes through our program is marked through an app that has its exact street location. We provide transparent data to the government about all our work. ·      We focus on reducing the dog density and population over a period of 3-5 years by sterilizing and vaccinating at least 80% of dogs, which has an impact on their population growth, rabies and other welfare indicators of the dogs. ·      Communities are a crucial part of the process and are involved and invited to see the work being done first-hand at our facilities.  
 HSI/India has successfully sterilized over 1,50,000 and vaccinated 3,30,000 dogs across India since 2013. We have been able to sterilize 100% of dogs in Nainital, 92% in Mussouries, 73% in Dehradun and 80% in Vadodara. In Luknow, a project started just a couple of months prior to onset of COVID19, we have sterilized and vaccinated 23% of street dogs. We aim to reach 80% soon to help:<ol><li>Curb the overpopulation of dogs</li><li>Reduce the prevalence of rabies and </li><li>Mitigate human - dog conflict.</li></ol> Your funds will go to sterilize and vaccinate street dogs in Lucknow.

Do you know that research has shown that cruelty to animals is directly related to violence towards humans in the long run? Almost all of the world's most wanted criminals (murderers, rapists and serial killers) have had a history of animal abuse. Yet, none of the law enforcement agencies pay heed to this which makes it even more difficult for the common public to identify violent tendencies in children and youth and prevent crime. Animal welfare is often seen as an isolated issue in spite of research and experience showing otherwise it is interlinked with human welfare very closely. In spite of the Constitution of India making it a fundamental duty to protect animals and India being home to two important laws to protect animals (Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 and Wildlife Protection Act 1972), it is disheartening that animal cruelty is neither considered a mental health issue nor a threat to society. With strong legislations and more awareness amongst stakeholders from all walks of life, India has the potential to be a more humane and compassionate society. 
 HSI India works to protect all animals and are the country's experts on animal laws and policies. Our aim is 1.   Sensitize law enforcement agencies including police, animal husbandry dept and judicial magistrates in each state of the country 2.   Conduct workshops on the importance of animal welfare as an indicator to violence against humans for child and women’s rights organizations (grassroot and grasstop)3.   Train students and youth on animal law and the basics of law so they can take legal action against animal cruelty – Have ambassadors from each district4.   Run a cruelty helpline in all states to streamline and expedite action against cruelty to animals be it on the street or against pets.  
 We want to make India a better nation for animals. We aim to achieve the following with your support:-      Research on the current state of animal cruelty cases filed and convictions obtained-      Create a database of complaints of animal cruelty instances, police action and appropriate prosecution, cases that achieved justice for animals-      Partnership with child help and organizations who work against domestic abuse to recognize indicators of violence in households and to prevent both cruelty against animals and humans alike-      Develop policy in coordination with allied partners and law enforcement agencies which can help animals and human beingsWith HSI India's initiative in a few states, this could then be spread across all states. Your support could help see the beginning of India becoming a better nation for animals &lt;3

Saving the owl through strict law enforcement & education! The largest danger to the population of wild animals remains large scale habitat destruction and fragmentation, illegal wildlife trade is a close second. Illegal bird trade in India is a thriving “business” and one that has unfortunately grown in size with time and technological development. In the past many years, a sizeable percentage of trade in owls has been recorded. Unfortunately for owls, their adaptations to survive that render them so successful have also led to them being associated with many myths, superstitions and misbeliefs in India. Owls in India have historically been associated with multiple superstitions and false beliefs ranging from myths, folklore, black magic, witchcraft, prophecy, birth, death and many other natural and unnatural phenomenon (Bruce 1999, Marks et. al., 1999). In Hinduism, it is firmly believed that an owl is the vehicle of goddess Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) and hence having one at home will bring more wealth into the house. In Kerala for example, farmers place tree stumps in paddy fields when the crops are about to ripen, praying to goddess Lakshmi to increase their yield. The stumps act as perches for owls, which then hunt rats and mice in the rice fields. Meanwhile, there are several other communities that consider them an ill omen and drive them away. Of the 30-odd species of owls found in India, over 15 species have been observed in trade so far. The most common of them all being the Spotted Owlet. 
 To map the supply chain of owl trade across Peninsular India, devise intervention to end this trade by strengthening enforcement mechanism and reducing demand in key locations such as Crawford Market, Mumbai; Murgi Chowk, Hyderabad and Russell Market, Bengaluru. 
 Conservation of owls and prevention of cruelty to these species in addition to educating the public about the welfare of these animals and other animals.
