Promoting Compassion, Encouraging Responsible Action and Reconnecting Humanity with Coexistence
On 3rd November 2026, Animals Water Bowl Project (AWBP) Trust conducted an engaging Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme at PRODAPT, Hyderabad, in collaboration with the PRODAPT CSR Team. The initiative aimed to sensitise employees towards animal welfare and rights, encourage responsible coexistence with animals, and demonstrate how simple, compassionate actions can create meaningful change in communities.
The programme featured a series of interactive activities designed to move beyond awareness and inspire employees to take practical steps towards animal welfare.
From Awareness to Action
The event included several hands-on and educational activities:
- Clay Water Bowl Painting: Employees participated in painting clay water bowls, adding a personal touch to an initiative that helps provide drinking water to community animals.
- Water Bowl Distribution: Employees collected water bowls to place in their neighbourhoods and help animals access clean drinking water.
- Awareness Session: Lakshman Molleti, Founder of AWBP Trust, delivered an awareness talk highlighting the organisation’s community welfare initiatives, the importance of animal welfare and rights, and the role individuals can play in creating compassionate communities.
- Coexistence Book Distribution: Employees showed keen interest in THE JOURNEY OF BUNTY & CHINKU, an educational book promoting compassion and coexistence. Copies were distributed to interested employees.
- Art and Awareness Posters: Posters carrying meaningful animal welfare and coexistence messages were displayed and distributed to encourage continued awareness beyond the workplace.
- Bird Nest and Feeder Demonstration: AWBP Trust showcased bird nests and feeders, explaining their functionality and demonstrating how simple arrangements at home can help provide shelter and food for birds.
Empowering Employees to Become Responsible Citizens
During the awareness session, Lakshman spoke about AWBP Trust’s work at the community level and highlighted how employees can contribute to animal welfare and rights through simple, consistent actions.
He emphasised that caring for animals should not be limited to occasional activities or organised events. It can become part of our everyday lives through actions such as keeping clean drinking water and suitable food for animals, supporting injured animals, creating awareness among neighbours, and encouraging peaceful coexistence.
The session also highlighted the broader benefits of animal compassion. When individuals begin treating animals with empathy and respect, it can encourage positive behavioural changes, strengthen community relationships and nurture a more responsible and compassionate society.
Employees actively participated in the activities, interacted with the AWBP team, and explored practical ways to contribute to animal welfare within their own communities.

These outcomes represent more than numbers. Each water bowl offers an opportunity to support an animal in need, every book can introduce a reader to the values of compassion, and every poster can encourage someone to reflect on their responsibility towards other living beings.
Appreciation and Acknowledgements
AWBP Trust sincerely thanks the PRODAPT CSR Team for providing the opportunity to conduct this meaningful engagement and for supporting initiatives that encourage social responsibility and compassion.
Special thanks to Vineetha, Gowtham and Uma Maheswari for their coordination, encouragement and support in making this programme possible.
We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to our organising team members Ramya, Leena, Hasini, Usha and Lakshman for their dedication, active involvement and wholehearted efforts throughout the event. Their commitment helped make the engagement interactive, meaningful and impactful.
Taking Compassion Beyond the Workplace
At AWBP Trust, we believe that animal welfare is not solely the responsibility of animal welfare organisations. It is a shared responsibility that begins with individual choices and extends into our families, workplaces and communities.
Corporate CSR engagements provide an excellent opportunity to connect employees with meaningful social causes and encourage them to translate awareness into everyday action.
A bowl of clean water, a little food, a bird feeder or a compassionate response towards an animal in need may appear to be a small gesture. However, when these actions are adopted by individuals and communities collectively, they can create a lasting positive impact.
Let us move beyond awareness and make compassion a way of life.
Happiness begins with Animal Seva.
Our Mission: Reconnecting Humanity with Coexistence.
