Introduction

VISIONMaking clothing

a matter of concern as a basic need..

MISSIONRe-positioning cloth and other underutilized material, beyond

charity, adding dignity and turning it into a big resource for development.

Spreading the idea beyond geographical boundaries so that

world over people think of clothing as a basic need and a subject to work

on..

OBJECTIVESpread awareness about the concept at a level so that anytime an urban

household thinks of disposing off reusable

material it should have a channel to reach it to the

most needy.

The Problem

Absence of culture and mechanism to transfer excess and unused material from rich to poor.

35% population in India impoverished with unfulfilled basic needs of shelter,food and clothing.

Existing donations not in sync with regional differences Regular collecting agencies not capable enough to meet end user

demands. No credible system of sustainable collection. India will have more than 40 per cent, i.e. over 400 million people,

clustered in cities over the next thirty years (UN, 1995). Modern urban living brings on the problem of waste, which increases in quantity, and changes in composition with each passing day.

India will probably see a rise in waste generation from less than 40,000 metric tonnes per year to over 125,000 metric tonnes by the year 2030 (Srishti, 2000).

Work Flow: Collection

Scrap cloth is collected from tailors.

Collection at community hubs like schools and residential societies.

Page 9: Goonj team scamper

Branded clothes, such as from benetton which remain unsold and are rejected are collected and tags from them are removed.

Theme based collection to meet specific needs of the beneficiaries. For example, Rahat Winters is the theme for collecting woolens for near snow line villages in hilly regions.

Page 10: Goonj team scamper

Collected material is audited and taken to Goonj centerIt is washed, repaired and sorted. Sorting is done according to size.Sorting is done on the basis of statistical data mined as part of Goonj’s extensive market surveys.Example: Average waist size for rural male 26”-32”. Average waist size for urban male 34”-40”

Page 11: Goonj team scamper

Metal scrap is collected.All staples from stapled sheets in offices are also sorted.All collected metal wastes such as paper clips, pins and staples are then sold as iron. These collected quantities are huge.

Old books are also collected.

Page 12: Goonj team scamper

Old toys are also collected in order to set up activity centres in villages

Work Flow: Distribution

. In order to maintain the integrity of the process, these organizations are carefully selected on the basis of stringent reference checks.

Distribution network in 14 Indian states. The distribution model is designed to strengthen local partners of Goonj.

Distribution partners collect data determining specific needs of the target communities in their areas.

Records of receipt- visual (photos or videos) and signatures or thumbprints- are taken when consignment reaches target community

The records of the receipt are sent back to the donors to acknowledge. While the consignment is distributed.

Matching Demand and Supply

SUPPLYDonor attitudes are changed about unused articles and clothes at home.Goonj endeavours to create a culture of Giving and not Discarding.These efforts are in the direction of creating enough supply for the cause.

DEMANDDetailed market surveys and consumer insights used to match the specific demand needs.Factors like Gender, lifestyle ,regions, climate etc are used to understand the needs.Eg, in the south and the North East women wear more of night gowns

Page 20: Goonj team scamper

Pratibimb

Initiated in 2006 , Pratibimb is an annual one to one interaction event between urban and rural children to further cement the relationship between them as also to move them away from the bias led donor beneficiary mindset. The event has not only proved to be a great success, it has opened up many minds and become GOONJ’s flagship event.

Page 21: Goonj team scamper

Vastra Samaan

VASTRA-SAMMANNationwide movement highlighting the importance of cloth as a basic need of poor. Started with 67 personal clothes, now reaching over 40000 kgs of material every month.

Rahat

RAHAT Initiative for reaching relief in natural and human made disasters apart from annual disasters like floods and winters, active since the Chamoli earthquake in 1999. RAHAT Winters is aregular campaign to build up awareness on treating winters as an annual disaster. It seeks support of people to reach material in the villages where countless people die or suffer due to the scarcity of a basic pair of clothing or cut jungles to keep themselves warm. Turning Tsunami wastage into a resource: A first of its kind initiative; after tsunami GOONJ worked on over 2 million pieces of waste or undistributed clothes. Around 50 women worked for two years and converted every single unit of this massive wastage into a valuable cloth or product; right from school bags to sanitary napkins.

Page 23: Goonj team scamper

Cloth for Work

GOONJ is actively campaigning in rural & urban India to generate awareness on this taboo issue.They provide a pack of 5 cotton strips at only 3rs and often distribute it free.

Page 25: Goonj team scamper

Recycling a Step Ahead

Converting waste paper and cloth into a range of useful products. Two different ranges are developed keeping in mind the utility in urban and rural/slum India. School bags, tents and mats are developed for rural areas A range of fancy bags made out of various fabrics, yoga mats made out of saris and wallets are developed to suit the urban demands.Further, t-shirt and hoisery material used to make under garments Baby beds made out of ultimate wastes

TRANSPARENCY IN TRANSACTIONSAudit of all collections is made.Donors know how their contribution will be used and what will be its destination

NEW PRICE-PERFORMANCE LEVELThe revenue model of Goonj is commendable. It works on a strong base of donations and volunteers. Hence there is mostly no price involved in its deliverables.For its sanitary napkin initiative, it sells a packet of 5 cotton strips at 3rs. Which is way below even the cheapest substitute available in market.

GLOBAL SCALABILITYGoonj is unlike prior small scale initiatives with limited reach and resources.It is spread nationwide by adopting effective distribution models and by partnering with over a hundred organizations It can therefore scale globally also on similar lines.

GREATER URBAN RURAL PARITYThrough its spreading volunteer network and events like Pratibimb, urban India becomes more aware of rural needs.Transferring of unused excess from the rich to the poor.
