Dear Supporters,
We would like to share an encouraging update from the field.
Our team observed that in some village markets and public places, people were still mixing waste and disposing it in open areas. In some cases, plastic waste was also being burned due to limited awareness about proper waste disposal practices.
With your support, Seva Mandir is helping communities adopt better waste management practices and encouraging people to keep villages and public spaces clean. To spread awareness, 10 street shows (nukkad nataks) were organized in market areas, bus stands, schools, dharamshalas, and village chowks.
Children, youth, shopkeepers, and local community members actively participated in these activities. Through songs, discussions, and community interactions, people learned the importance of separating wet and dry waste, avoiding littering, and stopping the burning of plastic waste.
The awareness drives also encouraged families and shopkeepers to bring only segregated waste, helping improve cleanliness and protect the environment.
While we understand that changing habits takes time, it was encouraging to see community members actively participating and showing interest in creating cleaner surroundings for everyone.
With the support of your modest donation, just $100 can help ensure the safe collection, transport, and disposal of waste for a month in rural communities.
Your support is helping communities move towards a cleaner, safer, and healthier future.
Warm regards,
Seva Mandir
