We are a solid waste management NGO that works through a combination of direct action initiatives, awareness-raising and community engagement programs, local advocacy, and long-term collaborative partnership with various government bodies. Our mission is (1) to develop sustainable solid waste management systems by being a catalyst for community-based decentralized initiatives in rural, urban, and protected areas, (2) to pioneer replicable models of waste management, innovative practices in awareness and education, and (3) to formalize and improve the informal livelihoods and stigmatized conditions of waste workers.
