Why Clothing?
Three basic needs of mankind - roti, kapda aur makan (Food, cloth & shelter)
But most people/agencies work only on shelter & food.
But what about clothing?A basic need noticed only at the time of disaster..
Reality- more than half of this country doesn't need a disaster to be helped?
A range of issues right from domestic violence to global warming for development agencies BUT no mention of clothing? It has never been an issue - to work.. to support.
Figures for people dying in earthquakes, floods and other natural or man made disasters..
What about winters? - An annual and predictable disaster affecting life of thousands of people every year. A warm cloth we hold in our cupboards (in search of a real needy or waiting for a disaster) can help prevent these deaths ?
What does a poor woman do during menses every month? Oblivious of the health risk some are even forced to use sand or ash. Millions who don't have enough cloth to cover themselves end up using the most useless & dirty cloth.

GOONJ..
Vision: Making clothing a matter of concern as a basic need of the poor.
Mission: Re-positioning cloth beyond charity, adding dignity and turning
it into a big resource for development.
Objective: Spread awareness about the concept at a nationwide level so
that anytime an urban household thinks of disposing off reusable material
it should have a channel to reach it to the most needy.
Using clothing as an entry point, channelise a whole lot of underutilized
household material considered wastage in urban India, as resource to the
rural/slum India.

Vastrasamman- Channelising vital resources lying in excess in urban households to rural India.
Cloth for Work - Villagers earn clothes as wages by initiating development activities in their own area.
SCHOOL to SCHOOL- Sensitising urban schools to the educational needs of their counterparts in remote village schools by building a long term relationship among them.
Not Just a piece of cloth- Turning old cotton cloth into sanitary napkins.
Rahat- Supporting victims of natural and manmade disasters.
Recycling: a step ahead - Making notebooks, school bags, skipping ropes, balls, sitting mats etc. from waste paper & cloth.
Photo exhibitions- “Imprints of wandering images: (exhibition for raising resources) ” & “ Natural Disaster: Man made suffering “ (A disaster awareness exhibition).

Cloth for Work
Villagers identify a pressing issue that requires work in their village.
Villagers work for the betterment of their villages with clothes as a
motivation.
Cloth given with dignity, received with self respect.
Addresses an ignored community issue & generates employment.
Many partner organisations have initiated activities like road repair,
drainage cleaning, plantation etc. across the country.

SCHOOL to SCHOOL
Providing basic schooling facilities for children in rural areas.
Normally rural students don‟t even have basics like a pencil, notebook, shoes.
School bag, uniform, water bottle etc are a distant dream.
On an average, an urban school‟s wastage can be a resource for 3 - 4 small village schools.
Sensitising & motivating urban students through pamphlets, posters, photo exhibitions, PTA meetings, lectures & regular interaction.
