Meet Nandini — the Cow Our Foundation Is Named For

Nandini was found standing at the edge of a national highway, thin, limping, and too tired to be frightened any more. She had clearly been abandoned once she stopped giving milk. A passer-by called us, and by evening she was in a shelter with clean water, soft bedding and a vet examining her injured leg.

The first weeks

Recovery was slow. For the first fortnight she barely ate, and we hand-fed her small portions through the day. What turned the corner was not medicine but routine — the same voices, the same feeding times, the same quiet shed. Cows are creatures of trust, and trust is rebuilt in small, repeated kindnesses.

She taught us what seva really asks of us: patience, and showing up every single day.

From one cow to a herd

Nandini is well now, and she has company — dozens of rescued cows who arrived the same way she did. Each has a story, and each has a monthly cost of care that donors like you make possible. Her name on our gate is a daily reminder of why the work matters.

You can give another abandoned cow the same second chance. Adopting a cow funds her fodder, shelter and medical care, and you will receive updates as she recovers and thrives.
