A Very interesting concept. Yet to study it more. But it rings true with the tagline of Lifeline, ie "A Life of Dignity for All"
Ek Jodi Kapda is an initiative unlike any other. It's not just about giving away clothes to the poor-Cloth is being re-positioned beyond charity; by adding dignity to it and turning it into a big resource for development in village India. GOONJ motivates people in the villages to identify their own community issues. People work collectively on the issue and get the material as motivation for their work. So a sincere effort is being made not only to spread happiness amongst the poor, their dignity is also kept intact.
GOONJ has been reaching material to parts of 21 states of India. People get this material not as charity or Daan, they work on their community issues and get the material as motivation. Schools have been built, wells have been dug up, and bridges have been built by people under its Cloth for Work initiative. Essential school material reaches children in the far-flung village schools under School to School programme and rural women are getting the most basic need of a sanitary napkin under Clean cloth sanitary napkin initiative Not just a piece of cloth.
