Connecting Compassion, Action, and Impact in India
'Connect the Dots', our monthly newsletter, brings together stories, ideas, and opportunities from across India’s animal welfare movement. Through our NGO partners’ impact and the links between welfare, health, and sustainability, we explore what it means to build a more humane world — together.
For funders, advocates, and changemakers alike — this is where compassion turns into collective action.
Edition 1: Behind the Scenes – Building a Backbone for the Movement
In her first message as CEO, Rekha Raghunathan shares what it means for India Animal Fund to act as a ‘backbone organisation’ — quietly enabling, never spotlight-seeking, yet essential to the progress of a growing movement. This edition introduces our six focus areas, our approach to catalysing change, and why it’s time for strategic funding to shift toward animal welfare. If you’re wondering how B12 deficiency, AI, and egg-laying hens are connected – this is your starting point.
Edition 2: Festivals, Fiscal Policy & Frontline Change
As Navratri begins, this issue celebrates new policy wins for plant-based products and how that can shape market dynamics. We feature a touching story of compassion for camels in Rajasthan, and spotlight a powerful TED Talk from Lewis Bollard that challenges us to act on our values. Through policy, philanthropy, or partnerships – see how your support fuels systemic transformation.
Edition 3: Honouring Sentience – From Labs to Classrooms
This edition pays tribute to Dr. Jane Goodall’s legacy and her insistence on recognising animals as individuals with names, feelings, and intrinsic worth. We reflect on how this belief in sentience shapes everything we do – from engaging classrooms to influencing corporate boardrooms. Discover recent partner interventions across education, health, and awareness – all rooted in compassion and science.
