Camel Welfare

Camel Welfare at Help in Suffering

For over two decades, Help in Suffering has led one of India’s most dedicated camel welfare programs, reaching more than 1,22,000 camels across Rajasthan. Camels are a lifeline for many marginalised communities, yet they often suffer neglect, injury, and lack of access to veterinary care. Our program combines medical treatment, rescue, education, and community support to ensure these gentle animals live with dignity and compassion.

What We Do

Mobile Camel Clinics

Six days a week, our vets travel across Jaipur’s rural and urban areas, treating sick and injured camels directly where they work and live.

Camel Rescue Centre (Bassi)

Rajasthan’s first camel hospital, where abandoned or severely injured camels receive intensive care, rehabilitation, and a second chance at life.

Annual Treatment Camps

At Pushkar, Nagaur, and Jaisalmer fairs, our team provides free treatment to hundreds of camels that would otherwise have no veterinary access.

Community Education

Through pictorial guides, puppet shows, and monthly training sessions, we empower camel owners with knowledge on humane care, nutrition, and disease prevention.

Innovations for Safety & Welfare

  • Custom plastic nose pegs replacing cruel wooden/metal ones.
  • Reflectors fitted on camel carts, preventing countless night-time road accidents.
  • Quarterly deworming drives to improve health and working capacity.

Rescue & Rehabilitation

Severely injured or abandoned camels find safe shelter, long-term care, and dignity at our centre.

Why It Matters

Camels are not just animals of the desert—they are companions, cultural icons, and providers for some of Rajasthan’s poorest families. By safeguarding their health, we also protect livelihoods, preserve heritage, and uphold compassion for an often-forgotten species.

Together, we can ensure Rajasthan’s camels live with dignity, health, and compassion.
