Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals, Veterinary Services, Wildlife Preservation & Protection, Wildlife Sanctuaries

Mission: The Challenge for India’s Animals Despite some of the best animal protection laws in the world and a renowned heritage of reverence for life, modern India is a country where millions of animals suffer severe neglect or abuse. Overpopulation, poverty, pollution, superstition, apathy and ignorance all contribute to their plight. In a country where human misery and impoverishment remain high, the welfare of destitute animals is a low priority. Help Animals India’s Contribution India’s animals have strong indigenous allies. The nation is blessed with many dedicated animal welfare organizations. And that is where we come in as Help Animals India seeks out the best of these under funded organizations to provide financial and practical assistance where it can make the most difference. The dollar is very strong now and can make a big difference in India/Nepal! We strive not only to achieve immediate benefits for India’s animals, but to nurture an enduring culture of animal protectionism. Our goal is for all animals to live the lives they would choose for themselves.

My experience with DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT was beneficial. I faced financial challenges from an unsuccessful cryptocurrency venture, leading to a situation that nearly destroyed my business. I was a victim of cryptocurrency-related fraud, losing capital and incurring debt. I was unable to withdraw funds or terminate my investment. DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT, a private investigative and cryptocurrency asset recovery specialist, assisted numerous victims and recovered lost funds. I am grateful for their assistance in recovering my crypto and profit. I acknowledge their professionalism. The recovery of my lost cryptocurrency by DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT averted significant destabilization. I offer my gratitude to the DUNE NECTAR team.

Halo Animals India has been helping the Blue Cross of India for many years now and they have supported the horses used for beach rides which were abandoned during the Covid pandemic. Hel Animals India have also helped the enrichment of our cat shelters - probably the largest cat shelter in our country. And, four years ago, the shelter for rescued pigs was enlarged thanks to a grant from Help Animals India.

Founded by Eileen, who has been a steadfast animal advocate and has served humanity (through her efforts for animal welfare) in the US as well as India/Nepal. HAI is a clean and well run charity that grants grass roots organizations funds towards animal welfare activities such as shelters, wildlife rehabilitation, medical care, food drives, education, animal birth control and many others. HAI has very low overheads and majority of the donations go towards end organizations in India and Nepal. Please donate without any fear and with generosity.

Help Animals India has always been bedrock for WRRC (WILDLIFE RESCUE AND REHABILITATION) and many more Ngo's who are doing a stellar job in rescues and rehabilitation of domestic and wild animals. Help Animals India has always been so consistent and relevant to what its name stands for. We are so grateful ,pleased and confounded for being associated with the HAI team. Help Animals India is a living synonym to a boon for animal rescue Centre's, their commitment and allegiance towards animals is par excellence. HAI has always been there for rescuers during the need of the hour or crisis situations and even more relevant otherwise. Our team deeply appreciates and respects the work you do and enable everyone else to do even more. Grateful and high respects for Team HAI.

I am a board member and I am truly blessed to be associated with the great non profit Help Animals India and its director/founder Eileen Weintraub. Eileen is the most compassionate, empathetic and kindest person I have ever met. Eileen works very hard and is in constant communication with many animal welfare groups in India. I can vouch that every dollar is being stretched to the maximum impact, going to the most effective animal welfare groups, directly helping several programs that serve and help alleviate the suffering of animals India ( rescue, rehabilitation, animal birth control programs, educating the community, and more ). She sends detailed newsletter updates with the recent news, projects and appeals. The website is always up to date and even includes all the tax returns filed. I knows that she replies to each and every donation received by the organization, even the smallest one. She visits India, meeting face to face with the animal welfare groups and witnesses the operations on the ground. Varanasi for Animals is an initiative that Eileen herself helped establish, making a difference in the lives of distressed animals there. She deeply cares not only for the animals but also all the people around her. I recommend Help Animals India as a true great non-profit !

Help Animals India is an excellent nonprofit. I am 100% confident that the donations are used properly and wisely. Newsletters are sent out with updates and information on how the organization is helping the animals and people of India and Nepal. It is clear that every donation is providing maximum impact.

The amount of good this nonprofit has done is truly impressive. The aid goes to several different species, from dogs, and cats to elephants. It not only provides direct help to suffering and injured animals but gives practical help by educating the public on safety and animal birth control.

The Director, Eileen Weintraub, is passionate, honest and wise.
I'm so glad this nonprofit exist.

What sets Help Animals India apart from other funding agencies is their policy to extend the much needed support to small charities.
They not only sponsor the operating cost of the various welfare programmes, aimed at providing direct benefits, but also help their partner charities in upgrading their existing facilities.
From supporting animal birth control programme, rescue & rehabilitation efforts, to capacity building and vegan advocacy initiatives, Help Animals India's impact is far reaching.
Here in Dehradun they have been the most crucial link in the growth of the Raahat Animal Hospital & Sanctuary, the only Vegan Sanctuary in the State

I am Sonam Yangzom (a 57 year old Tibetan refugee woman) from Nayabasti, Boudha Jorpati. I have been feeding and getting spayed many stray dogs in Boudha, Jorpati, Naya Basti, Kumari Gal, Laure Tol and Tusal for almost 18 years on my own. Now it’s been almost 3 years ago Help Animals India came to know about my work and since then they have been helping me to pay for the sterilization of the street doggies.
I found Help Animals India the best NGO for the Animals. They are helping lots and lots of animals, and birds, in India and Nepal. And they are helping many other NGO in India and Nepal. Therefore, I like to pay my heartfelt gratitude to Help Animals India for their compassionate, untiring and noble work towards the animals and birds. It’s a big contribution to the society and the world, making it a better place to live for all.
Thank you so much.

I love this NGO for three reasons: 1. They are serving an immensely underserved cause - needy animals in India 2. They know how to stretch the dollar so they can help as many animals as possible and 3. The impact is real! I have been on the ground in Varanasi at Varanasi for Animals - one of the many animal NGOs in India who they support. They are helping where literally no one else is helping. I know when I donate to Help Animals India my money will make a real difference in the loves of vulnerable and needy animals all over India.

Amazing nonprofit helping animals in India just as its name says. They work very hard and are very careful with every dollar donated. I always know that my donations to Help Animals India will give real, concrete relief to animals who very much need (and deserve) our help. I have seen their operations on-the-ground in India and can speak first hand that money is making a real difference.

When I met Help Animals India I found a family and a great inspiration! Help Animals India works with the heart in hand inspired by Buddhist philosophy, honesty, righteousness, compassion, kindness are only a few of the values of this great Non Profit Organisation. A lot of communities and organisations in India and Nepal are benefiting from the help of HAI. HAI is making a big difference , not only in the life of thousands of animals but also in the communities! Many people in India and Nepal have started looking to animals in a different way. The aim of HAI is also to work with local people ready to become active in helping the animals in need, educational programs are part of the work done by HAI. Thousands of animals, from birds and pigs, to cats, donkeys, goats, cows, dogs, monkeys, etc have found a new life thanks to HAI and many humans too! By far, Help Animals India is my favorite organisation helping animals and local communities. Thank you HELP ANIMALS INDIA, long life to you!
With love and gratitude.

Help Animals India impresses me by giving utmost attention to making sure every donation is targeted to provide maximum impact for the benefit of the animals. When you see the dogs and their situations it makes me feel good that various groups supported by HAI are there looking out for their welfare. Feeding, shelter and spay and neuter all help with basic needs and caring staff giving affection sets an uplifting exam
ple for the community. Thus HAI sets a high standard for humane animal care in cities and neighborhoods. They deserve your support.

Help Animals India answered our call for help when we saw the terrible suffering of the dogs in the buddhist pilgrimage site of Sarnath in UP India. Help Animals India, with their many connections in India, were able to find a veterinarian and an NGO that could take on that project. Now we have had annual birth control camps with awareness programs, all organized and funded by Help Animals India. This non-profit is a caring, small non-profit with big heart. Highly recommended and commended for their work!

I have had the privilege of being associated with Help Animals India for several years, and their support has been a game-changer for our organization, the Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre (WRRC) in Bangalore.

From the very beginning, Help Animals India has shown unwavering dedication and commitment to animal welfare. Their support has been instrumental in enabling us to carry out crucial work in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. Their financial aid, strategic advice, and consistent backing have empowered us to make a real difference in the lives of countless animals over the past two decades.

Help Animals India is more than a charitable organization; they are a true ally in our mission, consistently going above and beyond to ensure we have the resources we need to do our work. Eileen is deeply committed to the cause, and her passion for animal welfare is genuinely inspiring.

I wholeheartedly recommend Help Animals India to anyone looking to support an organization that makes a significant, tangible impact on animal welfare in India. Their work with organizations like WRRC is a testament to their commitment to creating a better world for animals.

Thank you, Help Animals India, for your unwavering support and dedication to our cause. Your partnership has been invaluable, and we look forward to continuing to work together to make a difference in the lives of animals in need.

Way back in the nineties, the Blue Cross of India (BCI) in Madras was visited by Ms Eileen Weintraub of Help Animals India. The BCI which was registered in 1964 was a group that started five years earlier and was an all-volunteer group till 1987 with even its 24x7 ambulances driven by off-duty Indian Airlines pilots! Even today, in our 59th year since incorporation, we are fortunate in having a group of professionals who donate their time and efforts on a purely voluntary basis to look after much of the administration and special programmes like our adoptathons and The Great Indian Dog Show for non-pedigrees. This ensures that donations received by us go into helping animals without being eroded by “administrative expenses”. Our Animal Birth Control programme for street dogs is the oldest such initiative for street dogs in the world and has been endorsed by the WHO, OIE and FAO as the most effective and humane way to control the street dog issue and eliminate rabies and is the basis for the Dog Control Rules of the Government of India in 2001 which makes dog killing as a method of population control illegal and has been replicated the world over.
We were the first animal welfare organisation in India to get the Platinum certification from GuideStar India for transparency - in 2013!!
As arguably the most active animal welfare group in India, we are grateful to Help Animals India and Eileen Weintraub who have been helping our animals for decades
Do visit www.bluecross of India.org and see the work of the BCI - the first of the new genre of organisations caring for all animals!

I came in contact with Help Animals India when I started being unable to support financially a street dog organisation called Kathmandu Locals in Nepal. The organisation wanted to sterilize 200 street dogs, or at least the females, but they didn't have the money. They contacted a government group to get the financial support and pressured them as the overpopulation of the street dogs in Kathmandu is very bad. Criminality and abuse of street dogs has become a daily issue. The heat season had started and the government group hadn't shown up. At that moment it was Help Animals India who decided to take responsibility for the sterilization of these dogs. The campaign lasted a couple of months. Three times Help Animals India supported Kathmandu Locals for the sterilization of nearly 200 dogs.
For me Help Animals India is an amazing animal organisation supporting local programs in India and Nepal. They will support the animal local shelter in whatever is needed. All kind of help to all sort of animals, from vaccinations to sterilizations, are being provided by Help Animals India. https://www.facebook.com/kathmandulocals.nepal/videos/3040450309603208

But Help Animals India has the knowledge and the understanding of the local situation to know which organizations to support, amounts that make sense, and projects that will be most effective-so they not only dare to go there, they go there with support that is highly effective. Plus they don't just provide financial support, importantly, Help Animals India is knowledgeable in all areas of animal welfare and spreads their knowledge around, when needed, by providing technical support to their grantees. Everything they do, they do in a caring and humane manner.

She runs this charity with energy and great compassion for the millions of suffering animals in India and the charity also supports the people who care for these animals. I have absolute confidence that my donations go to the causes that most need our help, whether through natural disasters, accidents, illness, animal trafficking or animal birth control. She and the charity have funded animal ambulances, on-ground local workers to manage the animals and their treatment, feed and water for animals under stress, and education for children who are the generation growing up and through Help Animals India are learning compassion for others.

Help Animals India (HAI) does the most extraordinary job of supporting animal charities in India that have few resources of their own. HAI's tireless advocacy, responsible reporting and sheer hard work for injured and homeless animals is so admirable. Often HAI will aid the people in local environments too, and take a holistic approach to prevention of cruelty and supply of medical help where it is needed. They are also on the ground in disaster areas, there to help where animals of all types are injured or without food and water. Eileen Weintraub, as Founding Director of HAI works absolutely selflessly for those that have no voice, the animals of India.

Down the memory lane, it’s been a decade with Help Animals India (HAI), JBF (Just Be Friendly) has been in working in association with. HAI (Help Animals India), compassion and devotion for helping the voiceless creature of India is very unconditional and they speak up for the voiceless. They build a network to connect animals and humans, to create a space of dealing, loving, caring and living with each other for benefits of the living world. The world is not only abode of humans, but animals too. We are all knotted to one thread line.

JBF is associated with HAI and their collaboration and support is an aid to animals and the prosperity of the welfare and to mankind. HAI has a major role in helping & erecting the JBF’s dream project JIRAW (JBF Integrated Care & Resource Centre for Animal Welfare). This is just the beginning and part of construction works right from Kennels that can accommodate more than 200 animals at a time to OT complex of 900 sq ft. have been completed and that has been functional now. Besides with the assistance of invaluable “Suzi’s Wheels” an animal ambulance, it has been of great help to the organization in accomplishing its goals and objectives towards the welfare of animals. HAI spread helps in the time of natural disaster like flood and the crucial time JBF passes through. HAI support to stand against Dog Meat Trade has no words to express. Our heart-felt gratitude to HAI, for their support and cooperation throughout the journey of JBF and also supporting JBF to organize ABC surgical training program inaugurating the new OT complex, always had been there as a backbone. We salute Help Animals India, efforts for over all India animals and JBF.

ABC program output has increased due to our ambulance. We do about 40+ rescue/recovery operations per month. The odometer reads 45000+kms covered so far.
We have started logging our activities in a soft database. Logged activities of recent months by our team are present in given link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12pzPg3Gv8yx4H8Ia5YJS22cWtr67EBRg?usp=sharing


Thank you so much, we may require your help in future, kindly help whenever possible.

Lots of ABC program are initiated, hundreds of dogs are rescued, treated, sheltered, and released every year by People for animals-Kollam Chapter. It wouldn't be possible without your support. Thank you HELP ANIMALS INDIA for holding us through thick and thin. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Words cannot describe my gratitude towards you. I'm indebted not just for the monetary support but for the moral support and for recognising and honouring the hard work put in everyday towards animal rescue and care. Attached herewith are the rescues we have done with your support. Added with it is a short video. We couldn't bring everything on the screen but watching this will help understand the gist of what we do with the help of Help animals India. More stories available in our facebook page. Do visit.

It was great working with PFA Sikkim. There was so many challenges while rescuing voiceless and giving onsite treatment on time. The most painful things are when Taxi vehicles drivers denied to take the sick voiceless inspite we are paying them good taxi fare. An Ambulance which is now a part , makes all of us to work efficiency and able to give voiceless treatment on time. Helping PFA Sikkim with an Ambulance by Help Animal India was such a nice gesture, which makes us to work more easily. Now PFA Sikkim is able to give onsite treatment and rescuing voiceless in time from each and every corner of the State . Recently our Team successful rescued from West Bengal which is a nearest state from Sikkim which got possible because we have an Ambulance. Now we don't have to beg taxi drivers to help us in taking voiceless to nearest Vet hospitals.
Thanks to Help Animal India for such a great help. PFA Sikkim will try to work more efficiency and cover each and every corner of the state with all the efforts.

Since the day we (PFA)Sikkim were donated with Ambulance by Help Animals India.. We are able to save more lives of our furry babies.. as one of the challenges in rescue operation was to convince a driver to help out.. Even if we were willing to pay more they refuse to take sick dogs. And convincing process is time consuming which as a result our furry ones had to suffer a lot.. All Thank and blessings to Help Animals India.. Now we are able to rescue animals from all the districts of Sikkim which is time and cost effective.. We have not missed any rescue operations and every month there is more than 40 cases.. Among these cases mostly are the maggots infected, TVT, RTA hit and run case, severe scabies, CD cases…

We, People for Animals, Trivandrum, Kerala, India, as an organization is glad to give the best rating to Help Animals India as a non-profit which has been supporting many struggling organizations in India like ours. The last 3 years of Covid have been particularly trying for animal welfare organizations since there was a considerable dent in financial resources due to economic recession . At a time when homeless animals needed help all financial resources were being channelized to human causes and animals were the least priority for potential donors. In April 2020, we started a stray animal feeding programme and we have not stopped it thanks to the support given to us by Help Animals India. We are happy to say that Help Animals, India helped us to keep going when our activities would have ground to a halt. One unique aspect of Help Animals India is that they have a good understanding of the conditions in which NGOs supporting animals have to work in India. They have been extremely patient with us when we could not submit requirements or reports in time due to lack of administrative support. We thank them for their support when we needed it most.

Here I learned more about HAI and Eileen, what Eileen did was amazing and I understood the pain to raise funds to help countless animals in India. This is truly a charity that is 100 percent runs with volunteers and every single penny raised goes to animal welfare activities. I am proud to help and assist the charity in whichever way I can and wish this charity gets more and more support to genuinely help at the grassroots level. There is no big admin or marketing office for this charity. Wishing all the very best and wish more supporter joins HAI efforts.

We have had the absolute pleasure of making the acquaintance of Help Animals India on our shared journey of animal welfare. Headed by Mrs. Weintraub, the organization has come to our aid with timely donations over the last few years at a time when the Pandemic had us tightening our belts and needing to make very difficult decisions. Their swift aid also came in the form of funding for damage repair & reconstruction after the cyclone Amphan caused extensive structural destruction to our animal hospital in May 2020.
A mammoth project we have undertaken in and around the streets of Kolkata - ABC (Animal Birth Control) has in no small part been possible because of their continued support.
Sensitive, astute, compassionate and with a finger on the pulse of the troubles strays face in India, Mrs. Weintraub has become quite a well respected and loved person at Ashari - the Kolkata wing of Smt. Maneka Gandhi's NOG People for Animals.
We look forward to working with her on countless projects in the future as we work towards a shared mission of making the streets of Kolkata healthy, happy & cruelty free in the true spirit of Joy this City embodies.

My name is Maneka Sanjay Gandhi and I am the Chairperson of the largest animal welfare group in India : People for Animals. We have over 26 hospitals across the country and 200 units who rescue thousands of animals daily. Much of our work has been successful because of the regular and intelligent donations made by Eileen Weintraub , Help Animal India. She is dedicated, reaches out to the farthest areas of the country and sees that they are serviced in many ways. She takes on good animal welfare organisations that need one component to become better and she provides that. From the only animal ambulance in Sikkim to ambulances in the Himayalan mountains of Uttar Dinajpur and Kalimpong to Kollam in Kerala , she has given dozens of ambulances , helped the training of volunteers, paid for rooms to be added to shelters and laboratories to be made. When a tiny area is collapsing under the weight of dog litters , she sends money to sterilize the dogs as she did for the railway tracks of Kolkata.
We know we can depend on her team and her donors for their resourcefulness and generosity to help save thousands of lives in India. Help Animals India is the single largest donor to India and she has helped set up facilities which we could never have afforded if it had not been for HAI. God bless them !

HAI is a work of passion and the founder is diligent in ensuring that the Indian organizations are completing their mission and putting the animals first. Moreover, HAI does a great service to the animal advocacy movement in that they assist in widening the circle of compassion and bring the plight of international animals on the radars of those in the West…. a much needed –and appreciated- service to the animal advocacy movement. But perhaps more important than anything, the folks at Help Animals India have a high standard of ethics, work from their values, and always, always make the animals the top priority.

Helping Animals across India (and elsewhere)
Indeed!

Our association with Help Animals India goes back to 2012. Prior to that, we had email communication with the Founder Chairperson, Eileen Weintraub for over a year.

They have been supporting Raahat, an Animal Hospital & Sanctuary in the North of India, since 2012. Their support has helped strengthen not just our rescue, relief and ABC Programme but has also resulted in improved infrastructure and other facilities, making a world of a difference to the Sanctuary.
The Help Animals India office bearers visit the organizations they support every year to get first hand information on where the funds are being put to use, a great practice for any funding agency.
They have recently sponsored the building cost of a Vegan Community & Animal Rights Centre @ Raahat, the first of its kind in the State.
So, Help Animals India is working to provide direct benefits while at the same time also helping build a humane community for animals, through advocacy and promoting a Go Vegan campaign.
Bravo!

Help Animals India is one of the most effective organizations who work to mitigate animal suffering. They choose to work with groups who all have Spay/Neuter and Rabies vaccination programs that have been proven to be the most successful in humanely controlling street animal populations. In addition, Help Animals India directs donations to remote and forgotten towns and areas in India where the donated funds are incredibly productive in caring for animals and educating the people of the needs of animals in their community. I have been donating to this group several times a year for two years and consider it to be the most satisfying and productive use of the limited funds I have to give to animal care and welfare. The US dollar goes a long way in India and Help Animals India ensures that the best groups who do the most for animals get it.

The way they help animals in need is selfless and caring. So many times India sinks into chaos. The storms and heavy rains destroy all food and shelter for humans and animals. Having to sacrifice to include the animals during such hard times is compassion at its best. It seems to me that the people who work with the sick and often dying animals have understood that the life of an animals is as much worth to them as our life is to us. We are a family of care and love, and every action done with utmost care and compassion plants a seed for a brighter and more balanced universe. It further seems to me that these people understood that we are supposed to be of service for each other, the animals and all of creation included. What a greater cause can there be than to help such people to help other beings in ever better ways. In fact. I can say with the utmost conviction that I wish to have all the people who care so much, and ever wish to increase the quality of care, I wish to keep them forever and all times in my heart. That much of value is their work that it seems sad of one cannot help as much as we wish to. The skills are there and so is the goodwill, the intention and the love. May all beings become healthier and happier and may the animals feel that their life was worth living. Thank you - you all are so very precious and needed. Sometimes, I cannot believe that at this day and age of suffering and war, such good people who care so much especially for the animals, who often suffer more, because of us humans, still exist. People who reduce suffering to animals help to increase happiness in the world for all beings alike. It would be amazing if these wonderful people would get an award. They more than deserve it.

Help Animals India is an extraordinarily inspirational non-profit organisation that not only helps to protect animals from cruelty and injury, but is also acutely aware of the environment in which the animals and people live.

Many of the charities that Help Animals India supports have biogas plants which recycle cow dung for energy needs such as cooking which helps the local workers and neighbours. This determination to be aware of environmental issues saves precious funds and helps lessen carbon emissions by reducing the need for cooking fires and electricity.

There is also a very pressing need in India to reduce the amount of garbage that is dumped, particularly plastic, as it is invariably ingested by cows and goats causing enormous health issues including frequent and painful deaths. In many areas of India today plastic bags are being banned which should go some way to help avoid the terrible consequences that the dumping of non-biodegradeable items cause to animals and, over time, the natural environment.

Help Animals India takes a holistic approach to the many issues that surround animal welfare in a poor country. I am immensely grateful that there are people and organisations such as Help Animals India that selflessly and tirelessly work to alleviate pain and suffering for those who have no voice.

I came across this group on FB and saw a dog that had come into their shelter in India. Her name was Balu meaning strength and she broke my heart. She was this very happy looking yellow lab sitting on the ground like a person. She was paralyzed in her back legs and due to dragging them had bad abrasions and infections. They were asking for donations to help get her a cart to keep her legs from dragging. I decided I wanted this little girl to have a chance to be truly happy and to get healthy again. I arranged to buy and send her a cart from the states. She finally got it about a month later. Little did I know the poor girl was getting worse from her infections. She died shortly after. Throughout all of this a wonderful lady from Help India Animals helped me to donate, keep me updated and consoled me when I found out "my Balu" had passed away. I finally got pictures of her in her cart but the poor girl was so weak and skinny looking. That spark in her eyes was gone. It must have been shortly before she passed. She never got much use of the cart I had donated but other dogs that need it due to human abuse, neglect or traffic accidents can use it. I will always cherish that little dog and the kind people at the VSPCA and Help Animals India that help dogs like her everyday. This is a truly needy cause for India's animals and anyone who can should please help.

I was so happy when I found out about Help Animals India because the animals in India truly need every bit of help and kindness they can get. I grew up in India so I know a little about the situation of animals there, and it gives me great hope to see that Help Animals India is doing their best. I would highly recommend this organization!

I have loved animals since I was a child. I recall running upto the street animals in India and playing with them, even as others looked on in apprehension or fright. As I grew older, I was saddened by the indifference that most of the people in this world have towards animals. Help Animals India is a group that is doing spectacular work not only in treating and taking care of animals but also in educating people to be sensitive to animals. I have not come across such a passionate, close-knit group of people, working day in and day out to make the lives of animals in India better. They are professional, prompt and extremely transparent. Help Animals India provides employment to a number of local Indians at their shelters. Not only are they improving the employees standard of living, but they are also sensitizing and educating the society and teaching them to be compassionate.

I especially care about animals in the so-called developing countries such as India because they are so often neglected and suffer so much. And the US dollar goes so much farther when donated to them. As a donor and an activist I choose to support organizations where I know every dollar goes very far to relieve suffering and Help Animals India is one of the best for that. 
I particularly like that they spend their time advising and directly helping the Indian charities, giving strength to the charities in India so that one day they will not need to fundraise from outside India.
Help Animals India is entirely transparent and is able to answer any question about the complex issues they advise on.

I am lucky to have found Help Animals India, I was so worried for the animals in India, now I have a peace of mind that Help Animals India is doing so much for India Animals. Help Animals India is really awesome and trustworthy, supporting several carefully researched and trusted NGOs in India. Eileen is humble and a very friendly person who updates the situations of the shelter animals, tells me more whenever I ask. Great to see the animals getting better and being fed and well taken care of. Help Animals India is definitely making the changes for India Animals by supporting Animal Birth Control program. Thank you Eileen and team members for working so hard to help the poor animals.

I traveled to Visakhapatnam, India to volunteer at this terrific animal shelter and found amazing people doing incredible work for the animals. The shelter is home to more than 6000 animals including Water Buffalo, Cows, Horses, Dogs, Cats, Star Tortoises, Guinea Pigs, Ducks and more. The animals live in excellent conditions and are well-loved by all the staff. Additionally, in the 15 years that the VSPCA has been operating, they have spayed, neutered and vaccinated over 70,000 street dogs! As a result, the condition of the street dogs in Visakhapatnam is better than any other city I visited in India. And the people are more kind to the animals, having seen the wonderful example set by the VSPCA.

For several years, I have followed the work of Help Animals India through their facebook page & website. I am very impressed by the help they give to several animal welfare groups which care for a variety of creatures. Almost every penny of each dollar donated goes directly to those in need. I appreciate that one of their projects, VSPCA, is very active with the green movement, especially at Kindness Farm. I plan to volunteer with VSPCA in the near future.

Help Animals India does an amazing job at supporting effective animal welfare works in India. They help many organizations with financial help which makes a huge difference to the animals. JBF today have an Ambulance for rescuing of suffering animals and also for undergoing “Humane Dog and Rabies Management Program”. This is because of HAI! This support gives a very positive impact in the organization and ultimately to our animal friends. ………….Dr. Sashanka with team JBF.

Help Animals India does an amazing job at supporting effective rescues in India. The supported rescues and organizations all have succesfully made changes to the animals in their care and to the outlook towards animals in India. They are not focussed on just a certain set of animals, but on the bigger picture to bring about compassion in people for animals, people, as well as the environment, educate and increase the reach of veganism, illegal wildlife trade, green efforts and much more. You can track their efforts in each of the organizations and know that your donation is always very well used.

Help Animals India assists so many different animals and humans in so many areas that there is something for everybody! I appreciate that environmental concerns are part of all sanctuary plans and a holistic approach is always taken to benefit current and future populations. The groups also work on educating community members how to be better stewards for animals, in many cases animals that people depend on to earn their living. People may inquire, "Why help Indian animals when the problems are so great and there are animals here who need our help?" When you see the extreme minimum standards of living most animals in India experience and how far U.S. dollars go, you understand the answer to that question. It's not a matter of choosing animals over humans - Help Animals India works at creating better lives for individual animals and people but in the bigger picture, shows that we are all connected and that compassion transcends species.

Animals and the environment in India are in serious need of help. Poverty, apathy, hunger, superstition, pollution, overpopulation and simple ignorance are some of the reasons the animals and ecosystems there are in such peril.
Help Animals India is a wonderful non-profit (not a single volunteer or worker gets a salary, 100% of donation go directly to animal rescue in India) that fights to help protect animals and bring about environmental awareness. The charities that Help Animals India supports recycle cow dung to produce bio-gas to make energy. This bio-gas reduces the need for electricity and can be used for cooking and helps the local communities.
Garbage and waste are another huge issue in India. plastic bags line the streets and animals from dogs to cows frequently ingest them, causing a plethora of health problems and painful deaths. Help Animals India supports surgery to remove plastics and garbage from the stomachs of animals, who would otherwise die. This also brings about more public awareness to the issues of non-biodegradable waste.
Help Animals India is doing the best they can within a poor and polluted country to inspire social awareness and action to protect the planet and animals that we share it with!

One of my Indian penfriends, who funds most of her animal care herself recently observed that it's people in the West who provide more care and funds for Indian animal welfare than Indians themselves. She was, of course, referring in part to Help Animals India, who step in and support where help is most needed. It might be kitten formula being shipped to where it can't be bought, money for a cart for a paralysed dog, funds for vaccines or ABC. Animals with special needs can be cared for in sanctuaries, providing there are sufficient funds. Some organisations have received money from HAI to buy vehicles to catch and release the animals for neutering, and animal ambulances for casualties. I donate to Help Animals India because I know my money is always well used, and a little goes a long way in rupees!

Having been involved with Visakha India since the first tsumani devastated their work I would say that they are one of the best animal welfare groups that I have worked with. Their gentleness, kindness and compassion shines through and I have always received personal thanks from Pradeep who I consider to be an extraordinary human being. This small animal protection group has achieved great things in a poor country and I honour them and will continue my support whenever I can. They are the the manifestation of Ahimsa in its highest form. Blessings, Jean X

Help Animals India knows the animal groups that it works with. And by providing grants for specific projects this organization has a definite and far reaching effect on improving the life of animals and the areas where they live. Every day when animals are treated humanely attitudes are changed and a culture of compassion progresses where it is sorely needed.

We’re an All-Volunteer non-profit Charity
dedicated to supporting efficient and effective animal protection organizations in India. We support charities that also have anti-plastic campaigns and produce energy from cow dung from rescued cattle.

We strive to put our donors’ contributions to work where they are most needed and can do the most good.
The Challenge for India’s Animals

Despite some of the best animal protection laws in the world and a renowned heritage of reverence for life, modern India is a country where millions of animals suffer severe neglect or abuse.

Overpopulation, poverty, pollution, superstition, apathy and ignorance all contribute to their plight. In a country where human misery and impoverishment remain high, the welfare of destitute animals is a low priority.
Help Animals India’s Contribution

India’s animals have strong indigenous allies. The nation is blessed with many dedicated animal welfare organizations.

Help Animals India seeks out the best of these under funded organizations to provide financial and practical assistance where it can make the most difference.

We strive not only to achieve immediate benefits for India’s animals, but to nurture an enduring culture of animal protectionism.
