Our Recent Activities

Our ongoing Endeavours

  • Every year on Bhadarva Purnima over 15 lakh+ devotees walk to Ambaji Temple. About 10 days of long journey during Ambaji’s Pad Yatra, more than 75 tonnes of waste is generated which leads to adverse effects on soil, water and land.

  • Nepra Foundation is taking the initiative to organize waste collection drive from Ahmedabad on two "Pad Yatra"routes i.e. one route via Mehsana, Visnagar, Kheralu and Danta, and other is via Himmatnagar, Ider, and Khedbrahma.

  • Connecting the waste pickers with the corporate, so that the corporate under the corporate social responsibility get involved in activities like old cloth, books and utensils donation.

  • Facilitating the waste pickers form saving groups, and do inter-loaning. This would help them become accessible to get loan from banks and micro-finance institutions.

  • Linking the waste pickers to the Micro finance institutions in collaboration with NEPRA Resource management Pvt. Ltd.

  • Providing ID cards to the waste pickers to create authenticity and preparing their database. No such database exists up till now; this database can be of great help in the implementation of government schemes or policies.

  • Organizing health camps for the waste picker community.

WET WASTE SOLUTION

Food Waste is India

Did you know that Indians waste as much food as the whole of United Kingdom consumes (CSR JOURNAL, 29th Aug, 2015). The irony is, while India is struggling hard to feed its population, a lot of food is getting wasted.

Wastage is just the beginning, what happens after that is more dreadful. Food waste when reaches the landfill, breaks down to release methane which is a green house gas and is 21 times more harmful than carbon dioxide. Methane is released due to lack of oxygen in the landfill, as well as, food waste being covered with more harmful garbage. At this time, bacteria act on the waste releasing poisonous components in the air. This is the air we breathe in.

Besides, India being a resource deficit country is running short of landfill sites. If we do not act now, soon we would have to find another planet to live in.
