About

Sehjeevi Foundation is a charitable trust registered with the Sub-Registrar, Chandigarh. Sehjeevi Foundation Charitable Trust has a valid Darpan ID.

We believe that many of us have immense privilege that can be used to support and help the lesser fortunate.

How it all started

This guy with the bow here, Piddy, changed everything. The unconditional love that he showed us everyday for 15 years made it impossible for us to not take action for voiceless beings in need. He instilled compassion in us.

We believe that helplessness of any creature is unacceptable, and it is on us as a more evolved species to ensure help is provided where and when needed.

Where we are headed

There are quite a few things we want to accomplish. We want to help improve existing veterinary facilities in Chandigarh, Punjab and Haryana. We want to connect local communities to these facilities. We want to support ongoing sterilization drives. We want to run a free ambulance service for any animal in need. Yes, all these things. Slowly, but surely.
