Waste as a Livelihood
Opportunity
Project SAKSHAM recognizes that waste is not merely an environmental issue; it presents a unique opportunity for income generation. By empowering local communities, we transform waste into sustainable livelihoods through entrepreneurship and innovation.
Two Challenges,
One Opportunity.
Every day our cities generate enormous amounts of waste, from women, waste pickers and young entrepreneurs continue searching for digital opportunities.
We connect these two realities.
