HC 21.001 was started in mid-2021 and is located in an industrial area.

Characterized by low-income workers, the area and community lack the required recourse and knowledge on animal welfare to assist the growing stray population; abandoned stray animals are often considered taboo.

Hope Circle 2021.001 made slow initial progress since the area lacks support and community members. However, even this small initiative and dedication had a remarkable impact over the first 12 months, with a noticeable improvement in the stray animals' well-being. Individuals' perspectives on animal welfare are also changing, and we hope to start a second project in a nearby area. 

Providing pet food to individuals in the area empowers people to have the means required to assist the animals in their area.
