Animal & human welfare
Care rooted in dignity and empathy
Our purpose
Care without boundaries
Awakening India Foundation directs its efforts towards physical well-being, mental well-being and animal welfare. We support sections of society and vulnerable animals that are often overlooked because resources, care or access are limited.
Through selfless service, we work towards a society where dignity, productive minds and empathy for every life are protected.
Two areas of work
One commitment, carried out in two directions
Animal welfare and human welfare receive equal attention. Each area has its own programmes, professionals and pathways to help.
Animal welfare
Animal welfare
Feeding, rescue, sterilisation, deworming and vaccination initiatives that help stray and abandoned animals live safer, healthier lives.
Human welfare
Human welfare
