Join us in spreading awareness and saving lives through our Responsible Kite Flying Project, a vital initiative to protect birds from the harmful effects of nylon manja used in kite flying. Each year, countless birds suffer severe injuries, including lost wings or legs, and many tragically lose their lives.

At our bird rehabilitation center, we rescue, treat, and release injured birds back into the wild. In 2023 alone, we rescued 1,048 birds and educated over 4,100 children about the dangers of manja and the importance of safe kite-flying practices.

We’re calling for passionate volunteers to help us expand this effort. You’ll have the opportunity to visit schools, share insights, and inspire students to adopt wildlife-friendly practices. Together, we can create a safer world for birds and foster compassion for all living beings.
