Summary and Future Plans• In last two years Goonj has successfully reached over 600 villages with relief
material and much more.
• In phase 1, relief material was reached to cut off areas and medical help was provided by supporting medical camps.
• In phase 2, comprehensive Winter kits were given as a reward for various Cloth for work activities, extensive work was done to improve the condition of schools and aaganwadies.
• We will be continuing the support in terms of labour kits to the Migrant labourers.
• Menstrual hygiene has been an important area of work, since the very beginning and much more work is planned in the same field.
• Employment was generated for women, through Sujni centres, stitching and knitting centres as well as by setting up 3 major Goonj’s offices and processing centres.
• In future apart from carrying forward all these activities, Goonj is also planning to focus on Solar energy as a solution to the village problems.
• Also planning to address the acute need of constructing toilets and repairing damaged structures.
