COVID-19 has affected all of us. It has also impacted stray animals, especially those present in the markets and near corporate setups. The strays have no means of feeding themselves since the offices, restaurants, roadside eateries, where they had easy accessibility to food, are closed. They are starving and their food sources are diminishing.
EVERY PAW MATTERS is a social organization that started in 2020 by school students in Hyderabad who are animal lovers. We aim to feed and care for stray dogs and raise awareness for animal issues. We believe that each living-being matters and no one is superior. As a group, we need INR 90000 for our feeding programme. Any funds raised beyond this will got to Blue Cross of Hyderabad. They will use this to feed stray dogs across Hyderabad.
A FEW IMAGES OF US FEEDING STRAY DOGS
ABOUT ME
My name is PRADYUMN REDDY. I am 16-years-old and in Grade12 at OAKRIDGE School, Hyderabad.
I am running a crowdfunding campaign along with my friends to help raise funds to provide food and water to stray animals, primarily dogs. Stray dogs have very few means of getting good food and water on their own. Due to the pandemic, their sources of food have reduced by a lot, but they weren’t good before either. We are all animal lovers, and we started feeding many dogs at the beginning of the lockdown. Strays a very often looked down upon, but we believe them to be every person's strength, and that they should be loved like our family because we all are living beings.
To continue our journey and so that we can provide more meals, we ask for your support.

How does crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.
It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.
