Mumbai, May 25, 2023. Every year, countless animals die of thirst due to lack of any source of drinking water or drinking contaminated water from makeshift sources. Recognizing the urgent need for clean drinking water for animals, the HUFT Foundation has partnered with Water for Voiceless, an NPO for the distribution of 2000 free water bowls in Mumbai as a pilot project through caretakers of the community animals and birds. They plan to extend this initiative to 8 cities.
This project has been made possible with the support of dedicated community members who have placed water bowls at various corners of the city. They are also committed to the upkeep of these bowls, replenishing the water, and keeping the bowl clean.
Speaking on the engagement, Samriddh Dasgupta, CMO of Heads Up For Tails, said, “Ensuring that community animals get access to clean drinking water is a core mission for the HUFT Foundation. What started as a vision from RashiNarang, our founder, is today an enterprise committed to the well-being of community animals across the country. Water For Voiceless is an extremely reputable NPO committed to the same cause as us. We are excited to take this initiative to the rest of the country throughout the year.”
Sharing his views, Sunny Hastimal Jain, Founder of Water for Voiceless, said, “Water for Voiceless is distributing the bowls through our extended network, we are able to drive distribution at scale. We started this project 9 years back. Today, we have distributed over 70,000 free water bowls and are operational in 27 cities across 11 states, nurturing a network of volunteers dedicated to the cause. Our pilot with The HUFT Foundation has been extremely successful. It is a privilege to have like-minded, mission-aligned partners like Heads Up For Tails, who have the ability to help us scale our ambition.”
