Empowering Communities through Sustainable Waste Management

Meet Nargisben, a proactive community member residing near Hafizji Masjid, Fathewadi, Ahmedabad whose life has been profoundly impacted by Sanchetana’s dedicated efforts towards environmental conservation. As part of these initiatives, Nargis was provided with a Khampa Composter to recycle solid waste generated at her home, setting a remarkable example of source recycling. With unwavering commitment, she diligently utilizes the composter, effectively transforming organic waste into nutrient-rich compost. However, Nargis’s dedication does not stop at her doorstep. Embracing the spirit of community collaboration, she generously shares the compost with her neighbors, sparking a ripple effect of sustainable practices throughout the locality. The outcome has been nothing short of remarkable; the community now sustains a thriving gardens nourished by the organic compost, eliminating the need to purchase external fertilizers. “Compost has immensely benefited me. I no longer have to buy fertilizers from outside,” says Nargis behan, beaming with pride and satisfaction. This inspiring case study exemplifies the transformative power of individuals and communities when provided with the right tools and knowledge. Join hands with Sanchetana in supporting such impactful endeavors and empowering more change makers like Nargis behan to foster a greener, healthier future for all.
