Check out this great article about our work in Drive the District.

The Pollination Project, a nonprofit founded by a Dallas-based businessman, is enabling activists to be the change they want to see.
“We really want to get behind people and be their cheerleaders,” said executive director Alissa Hauser.
Here’s how it works: Pollination Project awards $1,000 micro-grants to fund projects intended to positively impact communities worldwide, in fields as diverse as health, animal rights and the environment.

Lakshman Molleti’s work seems simple enough at first glance: he gives away earth-friendly water bowls throughout India to ensure that the millions of stray dogs, cows, monkeys, birds, and other animals have access to clean water. 

"It Began with a Water Bowl," is the movie adaptation of the book "The Journey of Bunty and Chinku,", written by Lakshman.
This story is meticulously crafted with the primary goal of inspiring, motivating, and instilling a sense of responsibility across all age groups towards community building, particularly in the often neglected realms of animal welfare and the environment.

The Pollination Project partnered with Lakshman since the very beginning of Lakshman’s project Animals Water Bowl Project Trust. 

To date, Lakshman Molleti:

🐶 distributed 5500+ water bowls
🐶 organized 120 educational events
🐶 educated 35,000 people on animal welfare both in person and online
🐶 impacted 15000+ animals /day.
