Goonj’s relief & rehabilitation efforts in drought affected
areas ( April - July 2016)
What might be dirty for us is actually water for many!!
Water is needed..
but there are
invisible aspects
of Drought too !!
No crop
Lack of income
generation avenues..
High costs of daily
need material
Higher interest
rates charged by
the local money
lenders
Limited
opportunities and
lack of access Education
affected due to
lack of basic
facilities
Rampant
MigrationLivestock affected
Menstruation
Sanitation &
hygiene practices
affected
Goonj’s
appeal
Communities came together to resolve their own issues
during the water crisis..
Local Wisdom & Resources turned into tools to address the issues.. Goonj
decided to digs well, restore water bodies, create water channels, make
check dams, clean ponds under its flagship initiative ‘Cloth for work’
Dirty & Dried wells
Community took it in their hands and added local wisdom
and intelligence

affected states

comprises of general clothing, woolens, Shoes, sujni/blanket, dari,
toys, tarpaulins, umbrella/cap, utensils etc.
x
Total number of families reached: 7800
Menstruation : Due to lack of water, women’s struggle
to deal with menses multiplies..
Team Goonj went ahead in breaking the deep rooted culture of
taboos, shame & silence. Close interactions with women and
adolescent girls to create awareness around the topic..
Using ‘MY Pads’- hand made cotton cloth pads as a tool to open up
the taboo issue, sharing better health practices and providing a viable
solution to their monthly needs.
Education
Another focus area is to reach the basic learning material in resource
deprived schools and anganwadi’s
Kids receive basic
school material.. Not as
charity but as reward
Quality interaction with children on many issues. Brings out aspiration
to bring change in their own environment. Young minds participate
and initiate various activities.
Re-thinking about their existing spaces.. Making kitchen gardens,
decorating classrooms, sanitation around school, quiz, projects on
social issues, understanding their surroundings etc.
