We support a wide range of activities for the cows and bulls living at Sri Haridas Niwas. Most goshalas meet only basic needs; our cows also receive affection and enrichment every day.
Cowsheds in Vraja
We build cowsheds in Vraja for the growing family of cows at Sri Haridas Niwas, so that support from the US reaches Vraja’s cows directly.
Supporting caretakers
Our go-sevaks serve the cows full-time, looking after their food and hygiene and growing seasonal feed. We support them financially for this precious work.
Cowshed maintenance
Regular repairs and upkeep keep the cowsheds safe, clean and comfortable in every season.
Enrichment
Walks, brushing and caressing give the cows exercise and the emotional bonds that every living being needs.
Green fodder
Sorghum, Egyptian clover, oats and Napier grass are grown organically in season. We fund their cultivation and storage.
Quality feed
Only the best dry feed, nutrient-rich green fodder and mustard cake. Never cheap, low-quality substitutes.
