We are raising funds for a small ashram in Vrindavan, India who have been over run by monkeys due to an overpopulation in the local area. In the past the monkeys were not aggressive but now unfortunately they are. The monkeys come daily in gangs and have been chasing members of the ashram and also visitors including children who have recently been attacked.

The monkeys are slowly taking over areas on the upper level of the building which includes the bathrooms, making it difficult to bathe or use the toilet. The upper level includes also residents living quarters and a kitchen. It is a constant struggle to manage the situation and to carry out basic living needs. The previous methods of moving the monkeys on are no longer working. We are getting increasingly concerned as they are becoming more confident in entering living areas and taking over.

In order to secure the upper levels of the ashram we are appealing for urgent help to raise enough funds to protect the bedrooms, the kitchen and the bathrooms with metal grilles to stop the monkeys from entering and to keep the residents and visitors safe.
