Upasana Society NGO proudly presents the “Sui Dhaga Aur Kapda” and “Joy of Giving” campaign. This impactful initiative involved the distribution of collected old clothes from societies in Andheri, Prabhadevi, and Matunga on July 23, 2019, to the tribal community in Aarey Colony, Goregaon, Mumbai.
The campaign encompasses:
- Clothes Gathering Initiative
- Sorting of Collected Clothes
- Distribution of Donated Clothes
- Identifying Individuals with Sewing Skills or Machines
- Fundraising for Sewing Machines, Training, and Logistics
- Allocation of Sewing Machines post Fund Collection
- Imparting Sewing Skills through Training
- Creating a Roster of Empowered Individuals based on Skills
- Compensating Empowered Individuals for Produced Items
- Distribution/Sale of Cloth Bags in Urban Areas to Minimize Single-Use Plastic Waste
Collective Efforts, Lasting Impact
With the support of enthusiastic volunteers, we gathered over 700 kg of clothes and toys. These donations were then distributed among more than 150 tribals, spanning across various age groups. The collaboration of volunteers in collecting, segregating, and distributing the donations showcased the power of community engagement.
Towards Sustainability and Empowerment
The campaign aligns with our commitment to recycle, reuse, and empower. Moreover, we’re actively collecting funds to provide sewing machines and training for the tribal community. This effort aims to transform excess clothing into cloth bags, ultimately contributing to reducing plastic waste generated from single-use plastic bags in the city.
