Mangaluru: Moved by the plight of stray animals and birds during summer, animal activist Tauseef Ahmed is all set to the distribution of water bowls for animals and birds absolutely free of cost.

Project Jal, an initiative by Tauseef will try to cover as many places as possible to distribute water bowls for animals and birds absolutely free of cost. People can collect bowls, keep it in in their house, surroundings etc. The distribution of water bowls will start from January 20.

In a Facebook post, Tauseef wrote, “Extremely delighted and excited to share my new project details with my extended family here. Water bowls are getting ready for drinking water for stray animals and birds.

The project is extremely close to my heart as a lot of animals and birds die due to non-availability of water during summers esp in Mangalore where humidity is too high. When rivers, lakes, wells dry up we somehow manage to extract water from the ground but animals don’t have the capability to do that.

We use water for drinking, washing clothes, vehicles, bathing and so many things. Animals ask water only to drink and unfortunately, they don’t even get that, suffer from dehydration, infections, skin diseases and die. Most end up drinking dirty sewage water and fall sick and die a slow death. How unfortunate is that..!!

So Project Jal will try to cover as many places as possible to distribute water bowls for animals and birds absolutely free of cost. People can collect bowls, keep it in in their house, surroundings etc. All you got to do is fill water each day that’s all. 100 bowls are getting ready now and more to come. The bowls come in attractive blue, red and yellow colors which will add an aesthetic look as well so will add beauty to your gardens and balconies. Bowls are quite easy to carry around and light in weight.

Pls do support and help me help more animals and birds out there. Distribution of bowls will start from 20th Jan. 14th Feb being Valentine’s day, the target is to reach out to as many animals and birds as possible and show them we care and we do love them.”
