OUR WORK

Empowering Vrindavan's people to protect their sacred land, water, culture, and history every single day. 

OUR MISSION

Vrindavan, India, is globally renowned as one of the most sacred places on the planet and the home to thousands of temples and historically holy sites. Yet thousands of Vrindavan's people suffer extreme poverty, and 20,000 are widowed women, the largest community of widows in the world. We're on a mission to empower Vrindavan's people while protecting the sacred land and water there. With the help of generous supporters like you, we're making an impact every day.

Where We Work

Outside Vrindavan City is Govardhan Town, and it's here that we maintain some of the most prominent historic locations in all of Vrindavan. Many of these locations have histories thousands of years old, and the temples and historic structures themselves can date back to the 16th century. 

Often these sacred locations cannot withstand the fast-paced changes of the landscape due to an over-abundance of tourism, urban development, and extreme weather conditions. Without constant restoration and daily maintenance, these places would become depleted and unrecognizable in only a matter of a few short years.

It is our goal to ensure Vrindavan's history will last for many generations to come. While using both short and long-term solutions and local community involvement, we hope to see Vrindavan not only maintained but restored to the beauty it once was.

We restore and maintain the historic and sacred kundas and holy spaces throughout Radha Kunda and Govardhan. After initial restorations are complete, we work with widows and Brajavasis to preserve each of these locations daily to ensure their protection and longevity.

Caitanya's Sitting Place

MAINTAINED BY: Rhondita - Widow of Vrindavan (currently under construction)

In 1515 Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu would rest at this location between His walk from Imli Tala to His camp at Akrura Ghata. The Jagannath deities here were previously worshiped by Murari Gupta and later sent to this location to be cared for. Today Rhondita maintains Caitanya's Sitting place.
