About

Setu means bridge. That is the whole idea.

Donors want to give. Panjrapols genuinely need the help. What has been missing is anything trustworthy standing between the two.

The problem

Around 7,676 registered Panjrapols. A handful of them do well.

The ones that receive steady donations are usually the ones with better marketing, not the ones with greater need. Everywhere else, honest shelters run on very little and nobody hears about it.

Two sides of the same gap

Both ends of this are stuck for different reasons.

What donors run into

  • No way to tell a genuine shelter from a well-marketed one
  • A quiet worry that the money went somewhere else
  • Nothing to show what was actually bought
  • Silence after the payment goes through
  • No sensible way to compare one shelter's need against another's

What shelters run into

  • No presence online at all, in many cases not even a phone listing
  • The same handful of local donors, year after year
  • No way to reach anyone new
  • Emergencies for feed, medicine or water that nobody hears about until it is too late

What we built

A platform where the proof is the product.

Verification before listing, a specific costed need instead of a general fund, payment that settles straight to the shelter, and a bill at the end of it.

Technology is what makes the donation possible. It is not what makes anyone give a second time. That comes from being shown what happened to the first one.

So the transparency chain is not a feature sitting alongside the donation flow. Everything else in the platform exists to keep that chain intact.

Who does what

Four groups of people, each with a job.

Donors

Browse verified organisations, fund a specific need, follow it to the bill, download the 80G receipt, and rate the shelter afterwards.

Panjrapols and Sanghs

Clear the six verification steps, post real costed needs, and upload the bills, photographs and reports that close them out.

Volunteers and inspectors

Travel to shelters, file inspection reports with photographs and location data, flag what does not add up, and go back for re-verification.

Admin

Approve or reject applications, moderate every posting and photograph, handle disputes, and keep the trust score honest.

Guidance

Shilpvidyagya Pu. Pu. Shri Soumyaratna Vijayji Maharaj Saheb

Jivdaya Setu is built under the inspiration and guidance of Maharaj Saheb.

Jivdaya is the care of living beings, and it has never depended on knowing the animal in front of you. The aim here is simple: help every registered Panjrapol in India stand on its own feet by giving it a trusted presence, and give the people who support it real reason to believe their help arrived.

Where we are

Being straight about the stage we are at.

The platform is built and the first organisations are going through verification now. The app has not been published to the stores yet, and no donations have been taken. When that changes, this page will say so.

The app is where all of this happens.

Browse verified shelters and sanghs, fund a specific need, and follow it through to the bill. Available in English, Hindi and Gujarati.
