Here are our current priorities.

Sponsorship for the aged people

Under this project STCP now sponsors almost one hundred senior citizens by providing monthly sponsorships. People chosen under this program are all very old and suffer from various illness or have no support or family to provide for them in old age.
Living under very difficult conditions most do not have any other source of income and depend entirely on sponsorships for their most basic needs such as food and medicine.

STCP hope that with more funding we will be able to sponsor at least one hundred more older people as more cases are submitted to us.

The Ayujnana Project― Animal Care and Refuge Center

A new initiative under the Ayujnana Project helps support an existing animal care and refuge center near Dehradun, India.  The center currently cares for more than 100 dogs and puppies as well as numerous cows and water buffalo.  All of these animals would certainly die if not rescued and tended to by the animal center. The center provides a safe place for the animals to live, food and medical attention and does not euthanize them. The caretakers do their best to provide a safe haven and love under very difficult circumstances and with very little money.
