This is what we do.
Every single day.
Three causes. One mission. Where belief becomes action.
Caring for Those
Who Built Our World
Because growing old should never mean growing invisible.
This is where Golden Citizens Trust began. In 2018, we looked around Mumbai and saw thousands of senior citizens living in quiet, unspoken difficulty — isolated from their families, unsupported by systems, and largely invisible to a city moving too fast to notice them. We decided to notice.
Our senior citizen welfare programme connects elders across Mumbai with the emotional support, physical care, food, and community they need to live with dignity. Through a network of dedicated volunteers and a buddy system that personally links each senior with a doctor, we ensure that no elder in our care feels alone — not during a health crisis, not during a festival, and not on an ordinary Tuesday when the silence gets too loud.
During Covid, this work became even more critical. We reached out to seniors across the city, checking on their health, delivering rations and medicines, and making sure that the most vulnerable among us were not left behind in the chaos.
& Advocacy
Mental illness rarely announces itself. It quietly affects individuals, families, and communities who often lack both awareness and access to support.
For over six years, Golden Citizens Trust, under the leadership of Dr. Anjali Chhabria, has worked to change that. Through 50+ mental health awareness sessions conducted across India and internationally, GCT has reached over 2 lakh people, bringing conversations around mental health to villages, schools, police stations, railway communities, corporates, and other underserved groups.
During the Covid-19 crisis, GCT expanded its efforts by providing counselling and emotional support to patients, families, and frontline workers, while helping communities recognise and respond to signs of mental distress.
Extending this commitment beyond awareness, GCT donated an ambulance to Shraddha Rehabilitation Trust, led by Dr. Bharat Vatwani, to help rescue and rehabilitate mentally ill destitute individuals and reunite them with their families.
First
India is in the middle of a quiet crisis.
Thousands of companion animals, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Huskies, French Bulldogs, and countless others are being abandoned every year by owners who bought them impulsively, could not afford their care, or simply moved on. Unlike street-adapted animals, these pets were never built to survive alone. Left on the road, they face starvation, disease, injury, and abuse.
Pawdopt was built to meet them where they are.
We also operate Mumbai's first no-profit, no-loss pet ambulance, donated by the Inner Wheel Club of Bombay Airport, making emergency veterinary transport accessible and affordable for every animal that needs it, regardless of whether they have an owner to pay for it.
- Free rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming — always

to Loved
Every animal follows the same path — built on care, patience, and the belief that every life deserves a second chance.
Abandoned, surrendered, or emergency cases are picked up by our team and transported safely to our network of foster carers and veterinary partners. No animal is turned away.
Every rescued animal receives a full medical assessment, first aid, vaccinations, sterilisation, and tick prevention. Complex cases receive surgery and intensive care through our network of specialist veterinarians.
Before any animal is considered for adoption, they undergo behavioural assessment, socialisation, and training. We prepare them not just to be adoptable — but to thrive in a family home.
Our adoption process is rigorous by design. Every potential adopter is screened, guided through the integration process, and supported with post-adoption follow-up and lifelong assistance. A home is forever — we make sure it stays that way.
