“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” – Winston Churchill”

What is Social Responsibility??

Being Socially Responsible means that people and organisations must behave ethically and with sensitivity toward social, cultural, economic and environmental issues.

Striving for social responsibility helps individuals, organisations and governments have a positive impact on development, business and society with a positive contribution to bottom-line results.

In simple words:

Social Responsibility is an ultimate truth which suggests that any human being or an organization has an obligation to act for the benefit of the society around us

How Does an Individual Become Socially Responsible?

“The individual is socially responsibility when he engages towards the community where he lives, which can be expressed as an interest towards what’s happening in the community, as well as in the active participation in the solving of some of the local problems”

Only through a commitment to embrace and embed social responsibility into your personal value and belief system can you truly become socially responsible in all you do.

Meaning:

Individual Social Responsibility (ISR) is about an individual becoming responsible in his/her actions that has an effect on communities outside his/her immediate circle.

Features:

"The individual social responsibility includes the engagement of each person towards the community where he lives, which can be expressed as an interest towards what’s happening in the community, as well as in the active participation in the solving of some of the local problems.

Under community we understand the village, the small town or the residential complex in the big city, where lives every one of us. Each community lives its own life that undergoes a process of development all the time. And everyone of us could take part in that development in different ways, for example by taking part in cleaning of the street on which he lives, by taking part in organization of an event, connected with the history of the town or the village or by rendering social services to children without parents or elderly people.

The individual social responsibility also could be expressed in making donations for significant for the society causes – social, cultural or ecological. There are many ways of donating, as for example donating of goods or donating money through a bank account or online"

Meaning:

Corporate social responsibility can be referred to as "corporate citizenship" and can involve incurring short-term costs that do not provide an immediate financial benefit to the company, but instead promote positive social and environmental change.

The term "corporate social responsibility" became popular in the 1960s and has remained a term used indiscriminately.

Features:

Corporate Social Responsibility is a management concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and interactions with their stakeholders. CSR is generally understood as being the way through which a company achieves a balance of economic, environmental and social imperatives (“Triple-Bottom-Line- Approach”), while at the same time addressing the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders. In this sense it is important to draw a distinction between CSR, which can be a strategic business management concept, and charity, sponsorships or philanthropy

How are CSR Activities carried on:

By Ethnic Training: The rise of ethics training inside corporations, some of it required by government regulation, has helped CSR to spread.

By Environmental sustainability: By involving in recycling, waste management, water management, renewable energy, reusable materials, and ‘greener’ supply chains, reducing paper use and adopting.

World For All Animal Care & Adoptions is a Mumbai-based animal welfare organisation, that has revolutionised the model of stray animal adoptions. Apart from adoptions, the NGO also conducts rescues and sterilisations of the stray animal population.

Our Story It all started off with a single rescued puppy that needed to be homed. A page was created on Facebook for the little puppy's adoption, and surprisingly, before we knew it, the page members were in the thousands and the rescued animals gradually reached hundreds. Eventually, we started getting calls from animals that needed rescuing, and we started putting them up for adoption. The community grew stronger as more and more animal lovers came together to support the cause and more people started opening their hearts and homes to the street animals.  On the 17th of January 2010 World For All Animal Care & Adoptions was formally inaugurated as an animal welfare NGO.

Our Vision:

"One day every stray animal in India will be treated with love, dignity and compassion and will find a place in our homes, hearts and lives."

The Founders:

RUCHI NADKARNI TARONISH BULSARA

How can an individual help the foundation :

ADOPT:

ALL of the animals rescued by WFA are picked up from dangerous and heart wrenching situations. These animals n don’t have a home to call their own; their chances of survival out on the streets are next to negligible. This kind of suffering can be reduced dramatically, if more people came forward to adopt strays instead of looking to buy a breed. You'll also help save the lives of two animals—the pet you adopt and a homeless stray animal somewhere who can be rescued because of space you helped free up

FOSTER:

Cannot adopt a furry bundle but always wanted to be parent to one? Our Foster Program is just for you! Become a Halfway Home and help our rescued pups and kittens find their eventual forever homes! 

 VOLUNTEER:

Volunteer your time & effort for the cause of stray animal welfare. Help us out with animal transport, during World For All stall events & fund raiser gatherings and office admin work, and ease our load a big way.

DONATE:

Go through our online wishlist and help us check off things we need. Donate to us, and help us help the animals in need. All donations made to World For All Animal Care & Adoptions are tax exempted.  

BUY MERCHANDISE:

The Foundation also has merchandise in the form of Desk Calendar’s / Wall calendars’ / laptop Skins through which people can show their valuable contribution.

3. In Defence Of Animals:

INTRODUCTION:

Today even in Metropolitan cities like Mumbai, bullock and pony carts are seen plying alongside cars and motorbikes; cows and buffaloes, let loose by dairy owners after extracting the milk are seen loitering or sitting right in the middle of busy streets and eating from the garbage, which consist of plastic, paper and sometimes even pins, hooks, or battery cells. Similarly donkeys used for carrying loads are let loose to eat from the garbage dumps.

There are fewer people helping such animals to get rid of the suffering they bare while living a life on street, one such name is “IN DEFENCE OF ANIMALS- IDA”

IDA INDIA is a non profit grass root level animal protection organisation, dedicated towards establishing and defending the rights of all non - human living creatures.

HISTORY OF IDA CENTRE’S

:

With the intervention of the Bombay High Court, the Municipal Corporation handed over erstwhile Dog pound at Deonar to IDA on 22nd December 1999. After refurbishing the place, IDA started the centre from 1st February 2000, to spay / neuter street animals and render treatment to ill / injured ones.

The twin city of Mumbai viz. Navi Mumbai did not have a neutering center for dogs for several years. Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) handed over their erstwhile Dog Pound to IDA to start the spay / neuter and render treatment for street animals in Navi Mumbai. Thus started our second centre from 26th July 2006.

Being an eco-sensitive zone, vehicles are not permitted on the hill station of Matheran, hence weak, emaciated horses are used to ferry people and cargo up and down the hill. While more than 600 horses are working in this region, there is not a single veterinarian or an animal center in the region. We therefore started this centre to help these animals Now IDA staff also holds camps in nearby towns of Kalyan and Titwala, where horses are used to ferry passengers. Sadly, due to lack of funds, this vital service had to be stopped in end of April, 2011

IDA has three big ambulances to bring animals for treatment / spay / neuter program, One of them has a hydraulic lift to pick up large animals like cattle, horses, etc. They ply in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai
