About this campaign

A few nights ago, a sudden aandhi-tufaan swept across Jaipur with a violence we had not seen in years. Within minutes, sections of our shelter roof were ripped away. The kennel walls cracked. Fencing collapsed. Water tanks overturned. By morning, what had taken us years to build was lying in pieces across the compound.

Our team has been working day and night since covering damaged areas with tarpaulin, moving dogs to safer corners, salvaging whatever can be saved. Miraculously, no dog was seriously hurt. But our shelter, the home for 200+ rescued street dogs, is broken, exposed, and unsafe.

The next rain, the next dust storm, the next cold night will be dangerous for every dog inside. We need to rebuild. And we need to do it now.

Read the full story

Why This Rebuild Cannot Wait Without proper roofing, walls, and fencing, our dogs face direct exposure to sun, rain, and dust; risk of escape, accidents, and re-injury; spread of disease in damaged, unhygienic conditions; and trauma from weather and instability.

We have already started temporary fixes, but a shelter must be permanent, strong, and safe. That is what we are committed to rebuilding with your help.

What Your Support Helps Us Do Roofing Reconstruction - Strong, weather-resistant sheets that can withstand storms, summer heat, and monsoon rain. Kennel Walls & Flooring Repair - Rebuild damaged kennels with safe walls, hygienic flooring, and proper drainage. Boundary, Fencing & Safety Infrastructure - Restore the compound's outer fencing, water tanks, and security. Our Promise Reconstruction will be done in stages with debris clearance, roofing, walls, finishing, completion. The storm broke the walls. Your kindness can rebuild them.

Your support directly funds the care listed on the right. Every rupee is accounted for, and you'll receive a photo update within the week.

    Questions

    How is my donation used?

    100% of your gift funds direct animal care - food, medicine, surgery, and shelter. We publish monthly accounts on our website and email photo updates to every donor within 7 days.

    Will I receive an 80G tax receipt?

    Yes. Dakash Animal Welfare Foundation is registered under Section 12A & 80G of the Income Tax Act. Your certificate arrives by email within 24 hours of payment.

    Can I donate anonymously?

    Absolutely. During checkout, tick 'Donate anonymously' - your name won't appear on any public list, but your 80G receipt will still be generated privately.

    How do I cancel a monthly donation?

    Log into your donor dashboard, go to Subscriptions, and click Cancel. Cancellation takes effect immediately with no waiting period and no questions asked.

    How will I know what happened?

    You'll receive a personalised photo or video update within 7 days. Monthly donors also receive our impact newsletter covering every active rescue case.

    Is my payment secure?

    All transactions go through Razorpay - a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified gateway used by India's leading platforms. We never store your card details.

    How much of my donation reaches Dakash Animal Welfare Foundation?

    Nothing is added to what you pay. The payment gateway’s fee, the platform fee and GST are deducted before the money is paid out, and the fees page shows the exact arithmetic on a ₹1,000 gift.

    Will I get a tax receipt?

    A PAN and full address are required for an 80G certificate. Without them your donation still reaches the organisation, but no certificate can be issued.

    Can I get a refund?

    A duplicate payment, our error, or a campaign found fraudulent before payout is refunded to the payment method you used. A change of mind is not refunded as a rule — a donation is not a purchase. The refund policy goes through each case.

    How do I know this is genuine?

    Every organisation raising here has its registration and PAN checked before a campaign can open, and its bank account verified before any money is paid out. It cannot draw funds again until it has published what the last withdrawal paid for. What the checks cover — and what they do not.

    Can I give every month instead?

    Yes. A monthly gift goes to Dakash Animal Welfare Foundation and carries on after this campaign ends. You can stop it at any time from your account. How monthly giving works.
