Story of the campaigner
Hi everyone,
Please join us in offering a helping hand to the stray dogs of Leh, Ladakh, at 11,000 feet above sea level in the beautiful Indian Himalaya.
The overpopulation of strays is being addressed through sterilization, by government and charitalble groups. Meanwhile those which still live in a homeless condition need food, medical attention, shelter, and the loving care from their human community.
At Semschan Welfare Society, we operate a shelter for approximately 200 injured, ill, aged, and recovering dogs. We also operate a rescue-van service in Leh and surrounding communities, and a feeding program for up to 700 dogs, at 30 feeding stations around Leh.
We have built solar-heated structures in our facility to keep our dogs from freezing during winter. We encourage dog adoptions, and visits to our centre by the public, and we offer a volunteer program for those who would love to lend a hand directly with the dogs.
In our rescue centre you will find happy, friendly dogs who love the human contact they receive there. Even if you cannot join us in person, we are reaching out to you for financial support.
The cost of providing food, medical attention, and shelter is becoming too much for us to handle without your help. We know there are many who would love to make a difference for the dear dogs who live as best they can and who are so touched by the humans who relate to them and care for them.
Food, a safe place to stay and some love can go a long way in ensuring these innocent animals live a better life. Please donate to support them.
Regards,
Semschan Welfare Society

FAQs
After you complete your donation successfully, you will find the 'GET 80G' button on the payment success page. Please fill in your PAN number, complete address, and name as per PAN and submit. Your 80G certificate will be generated and sent via email within 24 hours.
Alternatively, you can get your 80G receipt in a few simple steps:
- Log in to your account using the same email ID you used for the donation
- Go to ‘My Donations’
- Choose the financial year for which you'd like the donation certificate
- Click on ‘Download 80G Certificate’
- Fill out the Form (if required)
- Submit the form and 80G will get downloaded instantly
Instead of receiving separate 80G certificates for each donation, you'll receive a consolidated 80G certificate via email covering all your donations made through our platform in the financial year. Further, The corresponding 10BE form that proves your eligibility for the tax deduction will also be consolidated. This way, you won't have to worry about multiple downloads and can save time.
To qualify for tax exemption on your donations, you need to obtain a 10BE. This can be done by filing your 80G claims for donations made during the Financial Year (FY). You can download your 10BE from the ‘My Profile’ section by 31st May of the next FY and also receive it via email.
For example: if you made donations between April 2025 and March 2026 (FY 2025-26), you will get your 10BE by 31st May 2026, provided you need to claim the 80G for these donations.
Please note that you cannot claim 80G for donations made between April 2024 and March 2025 (FY 2024-25) anymore as the window for claiming it has closed. However, you can still get the 10BEs for that year if you made 80G claims on or before 31st July 2025.
Sometimes prices of the products change during the course of the campaign, we use these tips to cover the hike in prices and deliver the goods to NGOs.
Tip is a voluntary contribution towards our platform and donors can choose to give any amount as tips.
