About us
Golu Social Care Foundation started with a simple belief: a child's future should not depend on where they were born, and an animal's life should not depend on whether it has an owner.
We collect donations from individuals and companies and spend them on two focused programmes. Staying focused lets us know every child and every animal we support, and show you exactly where your money went.
The Foundation grew out of everyday moments that are hard to ignore: a bright child who stopped going to school because the family couldn't afford books, an injured dog on the roadside that nobody stopped for.
We realised that a little money, given regularly by many people and spent carefully, could change both stories. So we built a foundation that does exactly that, with a promise to show every donor where their money went.
The name Golu is a word of affection used across India for someone small and dear. It reminds us who we work for.
Communities where every child learns and every animal is treated with kindness.
Remove the barriers that keep children out of school, and reduce the suffering of stray and injured animals, by turning public generosity into well-run, accountable programmes.
Our values
We treat every child, family and animal with dignity and patience.
Donors see where funds go. We publish accounts and keep receipts for everything.
Two programmes done well are better than ten done badly.
Local volunteers, schools and residents shape and run our work.
How we work
We find children at risk of dropping out and animals in need through schools, residents and our helpline.
Each case gets a simple plan and budget: a school kit, tutoring, a vet visit or a feeding route.
Volunteers and partners deliver the support, and we pay vendors and vets directly.
We track outcomes and share updates and accounts with donors.
Our work · Education
Millions of children in India are in school but at risk of dropping out because of the cost of books, uniforms and fees. We step in before that happens.
Bags, books, stationery, uniforms and shoes, plus fees where needed, so cost is never the reason a child stays home.
Small-group sessions with volunteer tutors to help children keep up in maths, science and languages.
Basic computer skills and spoken English that open doors to further study and jobs.
Support for girls moving to secondary school and beyond, when families are most likely to stop their education.
Your impact
Examples based on typical programme costs. Actual costs vary by location and need.
Our work · Animal welfare
Street dogs, cats, cattle and birds share our neighbourhoods. When they are hungry, sick or hurt, we make sure someone shows up.
Regular feeding routes run by volunteers, with fresh water bowls during the summer months.
Injured and sick animals are taken to partner vets for treatment, surgery and recovery care.
Anti-rabies vaccination and sterilisation camps that keep animals and people safe and humanely manage street populations.
Temporary shelter for recovering animals, and help finding loving homes for those who can be adopted.
Your impact
Examples based on typical costs. Actual costs vary by case and location.
Note the exact location, take a photo if it's safe, and tell us. Don't move a badly injured animal yourself unless it's in immediate danger.
