The Jal movement , launched in 2019 by Pema Chhewang Sherpa and Samir Hamal, has emerged as a beacon of compassion and environmental consciousness. This groundbreaking initiative addresses the plight of stray animals, particularly dogs and urban birds, by installing water pots throughout the city. This simple yet effective solution provides a lifeline for these vulnerable creatures, ensuring access to clean drinking water.

Recognizing the dire situation of stray animals in urban areas, Samir Hamal joined forces with Pema Chhewang Sherpa to bring about positive change. Their tireless efforts have garnered widespread appreciation for the project's dual focus on animal welfare and environmental conservation.

Over the past nine months, the Jal movement has made significant strides, strategically placing water pots in key areas. This thoughtful placement ensures that stray animals and urban birds can access water when needed most, even in densely populated areas.

The impact of the Jal movement extends beyond the immediate benefits to animals. It has created a ripple effect, inspiring individuals to contribute to the cause. People have been motivated to participate through volunteering and donations, fostering a sense of community and empathy.

The Jal movement stands as a symphony of compassion, resonating with those in need and inspiring kindness, environmental protection, and support for those who cannot speak for themselves. Through their efforts, Samir Hamal and Pema Chhewang Sherpa have created a lasting legacy that will inspire others to embrace compassion and make a positive impact.

Pema Chhewang Sherpa's commitment to serving others has been evident throughout his involvement in various charitable endeavors. His efforts during the COVID-19 crisis earthquake and support for the Chepang people have been commendable.

Together, Samir and have initiated a movement that transcends borders, inspiring kindness, compassion, and environmental consciousness. Their legacy will continue to resonate, motivating others to join forces and create a better world for all.

As the Jal movement founder notes, In our culture, Dharma teaches us to quench the thirsty.I thought of extending this kindness to our furry friends on the streets. To do this, all you need to do is collect used soft drink bottles, clean and fill them with water for dogs in your community.

Not only will this gesture quench their thirst, but it will also help reduce plastic waste. This shows how small actions can make a difference. Rather than a typical NGO project, it can be a community-driven initiative with a sense of responsibility and compassion towards the dogs in our neighborhoods.
