Providing Relief for Thirsty Working Animals

Some of you may recall Animal Aid Abroad recently commenced a new project, Water for Working Animals, which involved funding the construction of a bore and multiple water troughs to ensure rescued, working and street animals in Nepal and India have access to fresh water in the brutal summer heat.

We received an update from Animal Nepal last week, stating that a bore and pump have now been installed at their new shelter in Nepalgunj. This 90-foot-deep bore, coupled with water troughs also funded by AAA, will deliver fresh water to many thirsty animals.

In India, two water troughs have already been installed at a busy location in Seelampur in Delhi, which is providing parched working donkeys, horses and mules with relief from the heat. Animal Aid Abroad also distributed 300 water buckets to owners, so they can regularly offer water to their hard-working animals. 

In addition, Friendicoes, one of our partner groups in India, have nearly finished building two essential water troughs funded by AAA. The first trough has been completed and the second trough is currently under construction. Friendicoes are also planning to build a lower trough, which will allow smaller animals, such as dogs and goats, to access fresh water.

Thank you to our donors, who have enabled us to fund these troughs, buckets and a bore that will greatly improve the welfare of rescued, working and street animals in Nepal and India through life-giving water.
