Our story

Northstar social and welfare association encourage self-help groups (SHG) to become self-reliant, Himachal Pradesh.

It started out as a home that we built with space for injured stray animals to heal & be heard, forpeople who wanted to help, and for us to be able to organically farm, while reducing our harm.

We started building Northstar social and welfare association ( Srishti Care ) on December 1, 2015. Instead of putting in a swimming pool, we built a cow shed. Instead of an entertainment room, we have a clinic. Instead of having master bedrooms, we made rooms for those who want to come here and experience a simple, and purposeful life.

We had started doing good because of our philosophy. Then we learnt it feels great too 🙂

Instead of living just because we are born, we wanted to live deliberately – in accordance with our philosophy of life.

Philosophy

Live to do maximum good; live while causing minimum harm.

It’s our understanding that involuntary physical suffering is an absolute bad across all species; so reducing suffering, and nurturing changes that reduce suffering is absolutely good.

Vision

Northstar social and welfare association encourage self-help groups (SHG) to become self-reliant.

Mission

Bump individuals to think almost our enduring impression (the torment we cause unwittingly or intentionally, within the course of living), and rouse kindness (sympathy in activity).
