Goonj

Since 1999, Goonj has built a network of communities from urban to village India, channelizing material as a tool to address crucial gaps in rural infrastructure, water, environment, livelihood, education, health, disaster relief and rehabilitation. Its engagement with both the urban and rural population has galvanized a mass civic participation in addressing basic but neglected issues. Goonj’s model of development implemented through its various Initiatives proposes a more inclusive alternative economy where everyone is an equal stakeholder in the process.

As the ED of The Goonj Foundation, I hope to share Goonj’s insights and models, based on its 25-year legacy of community-driven development rooted in dignity and circular economy, and learn from peers working on systems change. I seek collaboration, mutual learning, and pathways to adapt and grow these models globally.
