Contribute To These Initiatives
Surprise Box
For as little as ₹ 500, you can provide one ragpicker child access to a useful ration of necessary supplies. Our surprise box contains gloves, cap, food and medical supplies.
The Ragpicker Initiative
More than 90% of India does not have a proper waste disposal system. A lot of garbage clearing thus is the done informally by ragpickers. They work without any job security, salary or dignity. Not just that, they are regularly exposed to cuts, infection, and respiratory diseases apart from poverty, humiliation, harassment, and abuse on the streets.
Your contribution will ensure that we can provide food, medicine, sanitation and education to Ragpickers.
Let's Recycle
The best place to recycle plastic waste is at source.
Our aim is to start ragpicker co-operatives across villages, towns and cities. We will assist these co-operatives to manage and successfully run small plastic recycling units to maximize their earnings.
This is a capital intensive program and we need assistance from high net worth individuals and corporates.
Please contact us at info@preciousplastic.in for more information and copy of our high level business plan.
