Projects

1. Dreamweaver— Capacity building Program for Women – 

The Dreamweaver program of Shrunkhala offers an open platform for women to explore their skills and design their dreams. This program stimulates independent thought process and encourages women to actively engage in lifelong pursuit of knowledge for individual development as well as active citizenship.

2. Ankur — Program for Food Sustainability

Cultivating a kitchen garden in an environmentally friendly way not only offers nutritious food at low cost but also has numerous ecological and financial benefits.

Ankur, an initiative of Shrunkhala, involves developing kitchen gardens at the premises of social organisations like hospice, rehabilitation centers, orphanages etc. By producing the required fruits and vegetables while using kitchen waste for composting, this program aims to reduce food cost, fill up nutritional gaps and also protect the environment – all of which helps the organisations on their way towards food sustainability.

3. Zero Waste — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Refusing to buy items that are not needed, reusing items more than once and disposing the items that are no longer in use at appropriate recycling centers not only help cut down the amount of waste which is thrown away but also acts to conserve natural resources, landfill space and energy- which eventually contribute towards a healthier planet.

Shrunkhala’s zero-waste program is a citizen participation initiative to create awareness about waste segregation, waste composting and dry waste collection.

The aim of this program is to make cities clean and green by developing the thought process of segregation, composting, reusing and recycling of waste at home level i.e., waste management at source.

4. Kavach – Program for Environmental Conservation

Depletion of green cover resulting from developmental activities is a matter of grave concern having a wide range of environmental consequences right from increase in air pollution, groundwater depletion to frequent flooding during the monsoon and overall rise in city temperature. The primary objective of Kavach, the Environmental Conservation Program of Shrunkhala, is to mitigate the damage caused due to concretisation and rebuild the green cover by carrying out seedball campaign and tree plantation drives with active citizen participation.

5. Champ — Program for Developing Socially & Environmentally Responsible Kids

As a part of the society, a child should understand social responsibility and develop the capability of sustainable thinking. The Champ initiative of Shrunkhala is aimed at helping children to build their understanding towards social and environmental responsibility through various activities like events, camps, competitions, team, work and research activities.
