People For Cattle in India (PFCI), an Animal Welfare NGO that works to promote the welfare of animals & prevent cruelty against them organizes The Water Bowl Challenge to help Animals quench their thirst during summer.
PFCI distributes Free Water Bowls that can be placed in communities for Birds & Animals to drink water. The Animals suffer severe dehydration & several diseases are caused due to lack of clean water. The provision of these water bowls has given them easy access to clean water & ensured they are hydrated & healthy. It has been an encouraging and successful initiative since 2014.

We are living our purpose through focussed Animal Welfare Initiatives which are part of our Responsibility towards PET and commitment to Society.
Water Bowl Challenge is one of its kind initiative where we bring everyone together to quench the thirst of many community pets who don’t have access to fresh water.” The aim of the challenge is to encourage residents to keep water bowls outside their houses, gardens, public places, and streets for community pets. We will continue our purposeful efforts on key pet welfare issues and support to drive momentum with multiple Animal Welfare Organizations partners across identified cities of India to continue this drive throughout the summer.”
The Water bowl challenge has witnessed celebrities, industrialists & bureaucrats participating and spreading awareness over the years.
