Stray dogs and other animals on the streets live a life of acute deprivation. The most painful part is the manner in which they meet their end–lonely and helpless. While some may sustain grave injuries after being run over by vehicles, others are at the risk of starvation and illness. Often, people ignore their plight as they are strays. But not Sudha Narayanan. It’s been almost a decade since Sudha decided to set up a hospital and shelter home for stray dogs and other animals. Sudha’s NGO Charlie’s Animal Rescue Centre (CARE), since its inception in 2013, has saved the lives of thousands of stray animals with urgent trauma care and medical help. Sudha has shouldered a significant amount of the cost of treatment for these animals for a decade. But owing to a steep rise in the cost of medicines she is now struggling to keep the doors of CARE open for helpless street animals.  <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/4f78733a-a2d5-485e-8a89-6a722dbc6540.jpg" />CARE cannot bear the cost of critical medicines needed to save sick and injured animals and urgently needs support so it can continue to rescue voiceless animals from the streets. Donate Now.All donations on this platform are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India), &amp; 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA).Plight of the voicelessStray animals not only suffer from road accidents and bear the brunt of starvation and sickness, but also face unimaginable acts of abuse at the hands of human beings. Sudha says, “People pour acid on stray dogs and cats. They are beaten, have their legs broken and even sexually abused…injured animals often receive no care or attention from people around them. They are forced to crawl into a ditch where they die a painful death unnoticed.”<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/620bc0eb-ae3d-4df4-aa19-dc8ead2d215a.jpg" />CARE has taken up the responsibility of providing life-saving trauma care and medical intervention to the strays. The NGO’s rescue helpline receives numerous calls throughout the day. CARE’s team brings the rescued animals to its trauma care centre, where the sick and the injured are admitted and taken care of. With the help of proper medical care the animals are nursed back to health. The animals who are no longer fit to survive on their own due to serious injuries are kept in the NGO’s shelter home which is currently home to over 150 stray animals including dogs, cats, birds etc. The struggle to stay afloatWith their rescue helplines ringing off the hook and the number of helpless animals increasing with each passing day, CARE is finding it difficult to keep going. “The number of animals we save and shelter are increasing continuously. And if we don't get the support we require, unfortunately these animals will also be left without anybody to look after them. We need a huge amount of money for critical care medicines, for animal care items and for the essential food needed for the sick and injured animals. Help us save their lives because if you don’t help us, we will not be able to help them.” <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/01a38cbb-446f-4a68-aec8-aba3727059a0.jpg" />A loving mother to countless voiceless animals, Sudha is in urgent need of your help to save them from meeting a painful end on the streets.

“There isn't a drop of water in our village. I leave home at 3 a.m. to fetch water. Even the water I can get is so dirty that sometimes we feel like vomiting while drinking it but we have no other option. It's been 30 years since I have been walking day and night for water. My legs don't have strength anymore but I still need to do it for my family,” says Ajiya, one out of thousands of women in villages around Jodhpur, Rajasthan, who have suffered for decades without access to water.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/5e97abc2-b235-4d39-b7fd-6e1092c43fb8.webp" />The solution to their problems is simple. Digging and de-silting of village ponds can help thousands of families collect rainwater, which can last them throughout the year. But today, something as basic as clean drinking water is becoming a distant dream. Karunalaya Social Welfare Foundation is on a mission to help over 30,000 villagers get access to clean drinking water. Your contribution can ease the suffering of women and children who are forced to walk for hours to get water. Donate now to transform their lives.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).The nightmare of life without water“Pregnant women have to travel 15-20 kilometres just to fetch water. This sometimes leads to miscarriages, too. The groundwater level here is 700-800 feet deep and it becomes very difficult to bring it to the surface through hand-pumps and the water is brackish, which makes it impossible to drink. When we don’t get potable water, we are often forced to do with brackish water,” says Poonam Singh, Founder of Karunalaya Social Welfare Foundation while narrating the plight of women in the area. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/b3709a74-bc4b-4d0b-a117-afc3beca04e2.webp" />According to Poonam despite walking for hours women do not know if they can find water during peak summers. Unfortunately, there are times when entire families go without a drop of water. “Many times women walk 3-4 kilometres in the hot sun with empty vessels on their heads in search of water and then they come to know that there is no water. They have to return home with their empty vessels,” she says.  Your contribution can help thousands of women from walking in the scorching desert sun to fetch water. Donate now to give them access to clean drinking water.A solution to decades of suffering“There is water in the pond for only three-four months and there is no water after that. As the ponds are not very deep, the water doesn’t accumulate (during the rainy season). We would like to dig deep and take the mud out so that enough water can stay in the pond during the rainy season”, Poonam says. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/6e804bba-e3a2-40fb-9d3a-85ef1167be10.webp" />“I would like to request that you donate in large numbers so that we can rejuvenate ponds that have gone dry and help people with safe drinking water,” she appeals.Donate to this fundraiser by Karunalaya Social Welfare Foundation on Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to provide access to clean drinking water to over 30,000 people from water-starved villages of Rajasthan.

Neither 8-year-old Sarita (name changed), nor her parents had ever seen the inside of a school until recently. And had it not been for our NGO partner Turnstone Global, yet another generation of the family would have followed in the footsteps of those before. And Sarita would be left with no other option but to remain trapped in the cycle of poverty and illiteracy. Not just Sarita but a large number of children have had no access to education in the extremely backward areas of Purulia district in West Bengal. Turnstone Global’s Daulat Public School has brought in winds of change for countless children like Sarita who are the first in their families to receive formal education. Visually impaired, Dr Kanchan Gaba, head of Turnstone Global, noticed the transformation that education can bring in the lives of the less privileged and started Daulat Public School. Its sole objective is to usher in a brighter future for children of Purulia. But she can not do it alone.Dr Kanchan, strapped for funds, is struggling to expand her school to meet the vast need in the region. Join her in this mission and enable hundreds of children to start their educational journey today. Donate now. 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), &amp; 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA). Staggering scale of poverty“Poverty in these areas is such that families are struggling for two square meals a day. Most families are surviving on just rice and salt which is provided by the government. Proper education, which can be the only beacon of hope for children to come out of generational poverty, is well out of reach for tribal families here, Dr Kanchan says. The scale of poverty in these villages is staggering and the need for education is immense. Turnstone Global and Dr Kanchan cannot tackle this challenge alone. With a little support, the NGO can be a catalyst of change for generations to come. Donate generously to make Dr Kanchan’s dream come true. Generations trapped in illiteracyAccording to the head of the nonprofit organisation, not a single member of several families has ever set foot in a school. When ground level workers of Turnstone Global began surveying the area and spoke to families, they were astonished to see that even the concept of education was foreign to many. However, today Turnstone Global is providing quality English education and nutritious meals to over 250 students. “We want to open the door of education for hundreds of more children but the biggest hurdle for us is the paucity of funds. We are in urgent need to expand the capacity of our school so that many more can grow up to become capable and successful members of society”, Dr Kanchan says.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted online giving platform, to support Turnstone Global in giving children from tribal communities and first generation learners quality education and empower them to break the cycle of generational poverty.

Agriculture &amp; Farming in India nowadays is facing challenges like incessant use of chemical inputs, mono-cropping, prolonged dry spells &amp; erratic rainfall, and drying up of borewells. coupled with extreme droughts are leading to crop failures. reduced farm incomes &amp; loss of biodiversity. With increased farm inputs and uncertainties in the market, farmers are under a perpetual debt cycle, leading to migration to urban centers. The use of chemicals in agriculture reduces soil productivity &amp; essentially puts plant health at risk. The chemical agriculture practices also contaminate groundwater and other water-dependent ecosystems. Prevailing agricultural practices such as mono-cropping decreases soil moisture content, causing tremendous stress on water resources. Hence it becomes pertinent to solve these problems for the restoration of landscapes and livelihoods. 
 SayTrees want to develop a comprehensive solution that will enable a farmer to make a transition to regenerative agriculture easily while maintaining profitability. The aim is to support farmers end to end, right from sourcing high-quality Agri inputs, ensuring sustainable production to selling the product so that the farmer continues to practice regenerative agriculture without shifting back to chemical farming. The aim is to demonstrate scale solutions via various agroforestry models to combat climate change, prevent land degradation, plant saplings to ensure carbon sequestration.

Bangalore is rising, and with it, urbanisation is spreading faster, and we are paying a record-breaking price, not only for cement properties but also for destroying and abusing nature. The loss of habitat is chronic. Birds around your city are trying to take up residence in car bonnets and thrown-away cartons, with the silver lining of a handful being cared for through feeders and human-made shelters because their houses are being destroyed, A complete crash of food security for diverse organisms.It is not just about them. It's about you. The urbanisation that craves "green" is coming for you.<ol><li>The heat survivability crisis in India is a primary concern because you are part of a massive "heat island" effect.</li><li>It is estimated that just one mature tree can intercept 15,000 litres of water annually. Consequently, urban floods have a high probability of causing losses and damage as the population tree shrinks. </li><li>You are choking the planet right now with your energy consumption! It is possible to reduce the need for air conditioning by 30% by planting just 10 trees around your home.</li></ol>Trees are our only hope. They are the integrator of biodiversity. 
 For creating "Green Patches" in urban spaces, we are being supported by our very popular and loving face Ms Vijayalakshmi who joined hands with us for the tree plantation drive in Banglore using Miyawaki technology that contributes to the city's green cover sustainably. In addition to her love for nature and Bangalore, her engagement enables us to reach communities who look up to their local media influencers. She put her concern into this project to reach out to the people of Bangalore to drive Tree plantation as a priority for a better tomorrow.Vijayalakshmi said, "I was so excited when I heard about this initiative. I have always wanted to contribute to mother nature and make this planet a better place for us and future generations. And supporting this initiative is something that I am eagerly looking forward to"This initiative supports a drive to plant 250 trees in Bangalore using the Miyawaki technique, which can add adequate diversity to the city's green cover.
