We run a street dog feeding program for almost 2000 dogs in Gurgaon out of which 400-600 are sponsored depending on a given month. We also run two small programs in Delhi - one in a village near Dwarka for about 50 dogs and another for about 20 dogs in Ajmeri Gate side of New Delhi Railway Station. In addition, we have a shelter which currently houses about 52 dogs in Bhondsi village of Gurgaon. Due to recent hike in fuel prices, all our costs have gone up exponentially. We need help on a monthly basis to sustain. While our detailed costs are listed below, this fundraiser is to ask funds for payment to our rice vendor. Our monthly cost of rice is approximately Rs. 93,000. Almost 16000 street dogs, most without any other source of food, will directly benefit with your donation.Thanking you in advance.Costs per month breakdown:
Daily rice consumption is 125 kg x 24 rs. per kg = Rs. 3000 which amounts to approx Rs. 90,000 per month
Daily auto costs = 1400 + 1200 + 1200 + 500 = Rs. 4300 per day which amounts to Rs. 133,000 per month
Daily chicken waste cost = 60 rs. * 50 kg = Rs. 3000 per day which amounts to Rs. 90,000 per month
Monthly salaries costs @12000 per month per boy = 9 staff members * 12000 = Rs. 1,08,000 per month
Firewood cost has risen = Rs. 30,000 per month
Food for staff + Supplements for dogs + tick treatment + other similar costs add up to = Rs. 50,000 per month
Rent + electricity + water = Rs. 20,000 per month
These are fixed costs that we have to pay amounting to Rs. 5.25 Lakhs per month. Our payments for feeding give us about Rs. 2.5 lakhs per month at best. We manage to get another Rs. 30,000 per month in donation. So our shortage EVERY MONTH now is Rs. 250,000 per month. By having a corpus for rice, we would be able to sustain the feeding of all these dogs.
