About this campaign

The call comes in the afternoon. A dog has been hit on the road outside a village near Lohawat. She is bleeding, she can't stand, and the heat is climbing past 40°C. Our team wants to leave right away, but first we have to find a way to get there.

Today, Ujala has no vehicle of its own for rescues. We borrow a bike, hire an auto, or wait for a volunteer with a car to be free. Each time, we lose time the injured dog doesn't have. Some rescues mean carrying a badly hurt dog on someone's lap, which makes her pain and injuries worse. Some dogs we reach too late.

Rural Phalodi district is wide, the villages are far apart, and the nearest vet can be hours away. Distance is often the difference between a dog that lives and one that doesn't. A dedicated ambulance would change that.

Read the full story

We are raising funds to buy and fit out an animal ambulance for injured dogs. It will carry a stretcher so dogs can be moved without further harm, a first-aid kit, wound-care supplies and fluids so treatment can start on the spot, and enough space and ventilation to keep animals safe in the desert heat. With our own vehicle, our team can respond the moment a call comes in, reach villages no clinic serves, and bring dogs back to our shelter for surgery and recovery.

The ambulance will also carry vets and medicines to our village medical camps. It will help with vaccination drives and take recovered dogs safely back to their home areas.

Over last 5 years, we have rescued 250+ dogs, and calls keep growing as more villages learn that someone will come. An ambulance would let us answer far more of them, and faster.

Your donation helps buy the vehicle, convert it for animal rescue, equip it, and keep it running for its first year. When the next call comes from a roadside outside Lohawat, we want to be able to go straight away.

    Questions

    What vehicle will you buy?

    A small van for animal rescue, chosen for village roads and low running costs.

    How will the ₹10 lakh be used?

    Roughly 60% for the vehicle, 25% for the conversion and equipment, and 15% for fuel, insurance and a driver for the first year.

    Will it be used only for dogs?

    Dogs are the focus, but the ambulance will also help cats and other injured animals the team is called for.

    What happens if you raise more or less than the goal?

    Any shortfall will be covered in a second phase, and extra funds go towards fuel and maintenance.

    How much of my donation reaches Ujala Charitable 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 Ujala Charitable Foundation and carries on after this campaign ends. You can stop it at any time from your account. How monthly giving works.
