At Upasana Society NGO, we believe in the power of recycling, skill development, and community empowerment. With our “Sui Dhaga Aur Kapda” campaign, we aim to create a positive impact by collecting old clothes from cities and donating them to underprivileged and tribal areas. We not only provide clothing to those in need but also empower them by teaching sewing skills, enabling them to create cloth bags and other items. Through this campaign, we reduce the use of plastic, benefit the environment, and foster sustainable livelihoods for marginalized communities.

The Challenge

In cities, many people discard their old clothes without considering their potential for reuse. Simultaneously, underprivileged and tribal areas often lack access to adequate clothing and face challenges in income generation. By bridging this gap, we can address both environmental concerns and socio-economic disparities.
