Saathi (Meaning friend in Nepali)
Saathi is a project dedicated to addressing homelessness and environmental degradation in Nepal.
By upcycling rubber remnants from the footwear industry into durable mats, we provide a dual solution: improving the living conditions of homeless individuals and reducing environmental pollution caused by rubber waste. My mission is to offer dignity and comfort to those in need while promoting sustainable practices in waste management. Through Saathi, I aim to inspire communities to collaborate on innovative solutions to local challenges, fostering a culture of compassion and environmental stewardship. With every mat distributed, we provide immediate relief to homeless individuals and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future for Nepal. With the funding received, I will scale up its operations and expand its impact in several key areas. Firstly, a significant portion of the funds will be allocated towards producing more mats, allowing us to reach a larger number of homeless individuals across Nepal. Additionally, we will invest in improving our production facilities and processes to increase efficiency and reduce costs, ensuring sustainability in the long run. Together, we can make a meaningful impact create positive change in our communities, and be a #SAATHI.
