Objectives of Sui Dhaga Aur Kapda Campaign
upasanaThe Sui Dhaga Aur Kapda campaign aims to achieve the following objectives:
- Clothing Donation: We collect used clothes from cities, ensuring that they are in good condition for reuse. These donated clothes become valuable resources for underprivileged and tribal communities, meeting their clothing needs.
- Skill Development: Through training programs, we empower individuals from these communities with sewing skills. By utilizing donated sewing machines or purchasing new ones, we equip them to create cloth bags and other items from the donated fabric. This skill development initiative promotes self-reliance and income generation.
- Environment-Friendly Initiatives: The cloth bags and other eco-friendly items created by the empowered individuals serve as alternatives to plastic bags. By promoting their use in cities, we reduce plastic consumption, minimize waste, and contribute to a cleaner and greener environment.
