With no one to turn to, many are left begging on the streets, exposed to freezing winds and sleepless nights. A warm blanket could mean the difference between despair and hope.Donate warm clothes and blankets to abandoned elderly mothers now. Give generously."Elderly widows don't have shelter. They sleep in cowsheds over sacks. They don't have a blanket. Nights are really difficult for them," shares Winnie Singh, the founder of Maitri. "Since they are abandoned, they don't have a home or family. They have no means to care for themselves or their nutrition. Winters are extremely painful for them, and many eventually pass away. Without thermals, it's not possible to survive winters in Vrindavan."<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/1abfb906-563b-4747-85b8-8af2071a2856.jpg" />This heartbreaking reality is why Maitri is committed to providing blankets and warm clothing to these abandoned widow mothers.

We have come a long way in taking a stand against injustice when we can see it. But unfortunately, millions of voiceless farmed animals are still being subjected to inhuman cruelty in illegal dairies, slaughterhouses, etc. Their plight has been hidden from us, and their cries for help are muffled. These animals are stifled in dingy sheds and housed in abysmal conditions. They are injected with harmful substances to extract milk, mistreated, and finally transported to illegal slaughterhouses when they are of no use. IAF India Animal Foundation, along with other NGOs, have resolved to ease the pain of these farmed animals. They have provided safe shelter, food and medical care to ill and injured farmed animals rescued from life-threatening conditions. Besides these, the NGOs are also actively involved in capacity building and advocacy.With more and more ill and injured animals being brought in each day, these NGOs are in urgent need of funds to care for helpless farm animals. Your contribution can ensure the end of abuse for hundreds of animals trapped in illegal farms.

If they are ill or injured, they are never given treatment. They are tied up in small spaces. Where there is space barely for 10, they keep 20, 30 or even 40 buffaloes. And these animals spend their entire life in these painful conditions", says Dr Asher Jesudoss, Director, People For Animals (PFA) Public Policy Foundation, who has been fighting to save farmed animals from torture. According to him, several crude, illegal and violent methods/practices are used to extract milk from cattle, which leave thousands with illnesses. “Labour pains are induced in cattle by injecting drugs; they are made to forcefully let down milk twice a day unnaturally. Their calves are pulled away and are not allowed to drink their mother’s milk. They are tied separately and later killed or left to die", he adds. With your support, Asher and the NGOs fighting this battle can provide immediate medical care to animals who would otherwise meet a slow and painful end. Build capacity, work with governments to do policy work and spread awareness.

I humbly request each one to come forward, and please donate whatever you can so we can give these farm animals a life away from abuse and suffering,” says Asher.Donate to this fundraiser by India Animal Fund (IAF) on Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to provide abused farmed animals urgent treatment, care, and shelter, build capacity, spread awareness and work closely with governments to make life easy for the voiceless.

“What will happen to them after me? I am 80+. I spend sleepless nights,” worries ex-Air Force officer, Group Captain AC Barua while talking about the future of the 28 destitute women under his care. “They have nobody in this world, sometimes they don’t remember their own names. They are absolutely alone,” he informs us as he goes from one room to the other meeting all the women who live at Seneh, the only home where they are loved and taken care of. After fighting for his country all his life, this octogenarian is now fighting to rescue homeless and abandoned women from dying on the streets. But he cannot do it alone. “Everyday I keep on getting calls from here and there. ‘Oh! there’s a woman lying here. Can you help?’ But I don’t dare to go and help because I don’t have the money. I don’t have the resources, our resources are very limited,” explains Gr. Capt. Barua who is lovingly called ‘Sir’ and ‘Deuta’ (father in Assamese) by the residents of Seneh. With your help, 80-year-old Group Captain Barua can fulfill his mission of rescuing abandoned and homeless women from dying on the streets, alone. Donate nowDonate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. All 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).Seneh- a home filled with love, care and hopeThe residents of Seneh often don’t remember who they are, where they have come from. Many times these are women with mental health conditions and considered being a witch due to superstitious beliefs and beaten up as a result. They are victims of domestic abuse or widow mothers who are considered to be a burden on the family. Group Captain Barua has not only rescued them from critical conditions, he has provided them with urgent medical care, food and above all, a free safe shelter where they can live with love and care. Among these residents is Sarala Kalita who fled to save herself from the tortures of her alcoholic husband only to face neglect and trauma from her brothers- and sisters-in-law. “Both my brothers and their wives urged my father to leave me somewhere as they didn’t want to take care of me anymore. One day my brother’s wife didn’t even let me have food at home. She just wanted me to leave and go away. So that’s why, my father got in touch with Seneh through someone, and handed me over to Sir to take care of me,” says Sarita who has found joy in living at Seneh. “Coming to Seneh, it felt like I got a new life altogether. Sir has given me a harmonium. I love singing. It makes me forget everything and takes me to someplace else entirely,” she adds. More women like Sarala can find their way to a loving home like Seneh. All they need is a little bit of your kindness. “It is difficult to make both ends meet”To sustain their daily expenditure, Capt Barua needs approx ₹3 lakh a month and arranging the funds is a mammoth challenge for the NGO. “Our expenses are growing day by day. Residents are growing older, their sicknesses are increasing. At times we have to give them special food. They require more care so we have to get more employees. About half of them require leading around, 1-2 has to be fed also. It will be very difficult to sustain it unless we get help,” he added. One act of your kindness can save these abandoned women, with no one in this world, from struggling on the streets to survive. At 80+ Gr. Capt. Barua cannot sustain Seneh on his own. “With folded hands, I appeal to all. Please come and please help us. Let us help these people, these old people who have nobody in this world. They are dying. They will die on the streets,” he urged. Donate to this fundraiser by Give.do to support retired Air Force officer, Group Captain Barua in his mission to rescue abandoned and homeless women from dying on the streets.
