Delhi-based non-governmental organisation Goonj is running a movement called Vastradaan to solve a basic problem of clothing of a large section of the society.
“We all know that there is a large population, which has enough material (old clothes) to give, and we’ve a much larger population who needs this desperately…The problem is that many of us either don’t know who to give to or tend to wait for disaster to donate,” Anshu K Gupta, founder and director of Goonj, has said.
While talking about Vastradaan, Gupta says, “The concept is very simple. You give us clothes and we will match it to the needs of people from urban India to Rural areas and Slums.” (Link: IndianNGOs)
