Raising Funds For
After the India-wide lockdown, a lot of jobless migrant workers are stuck in cities with hardly any resources. Many started retreating back to their villages. With the loss of livelihoods, a large number of them will now struggle to support their families.
Our instant support is for migrants who are in cities. Our strength and long term focus is on the villages also, where a vast majority is or has retreated. We are geared up for the aftermath of this pandemic, intending to reach out to families who due to paucity of resources and livelihood options are badly affected.
Fund Utilization in 2020
Total funds raised in 2020 - INR 372602
| Project Name | Goonj |
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 372602 |
| Project Description | Goonj’s award winning School to School initiative is addressing the educational needs of thousands of remote & resource starved village/ slum schools by channelizing under-utilised material of city’s affluent schools not as a thing to distribute but as a tool to bring about comprehensive behaviour change in the recipients and the contributors!
School to School builds a relationship of empathy and dignity between urban and rural children, on two opposite sides of a big divide of resources and opportunities. Urban children learn to value their abundant resources as they become more aware about another India. Rural children learn about achievement as Goonj’s school material brings together all stakeholders; teachers, parents and village community.
Scores of children leave schools for unimaginably reasons like lack of note book, pencil, water bottle or inability of parents to pay the recurring expense of stationery, which are abundance in urban schools.

Fund Utilization in 2019
Total funds raised in 2019 - INR 495600
| Project Name | Goonj |
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 495600 |
| Project Description | Goonj works with the core philosophy that the excess material lying unused in urban households could be channelized to rural needy areas and could be used as a tool to carry out developmental activities. Materials that have been sitting in a corner of the cupboard could be shared with someone who needs it. Goonj, a 20 years old organization, thus channelizes around 4000 tonnes of a variety of usable material like clothes, school material, sanitary pads, utensils etc. as a critical development resource in remote parts of 22 states of India. The material is not given free of cost rather people get it with a lot of dignity and self- respect in lieu of practical development works that they choose to work on like road cleaning/ repair, making a bamboo school, cleaning water bodies, drainage system etc. Please refer our website for more details: www.goonj.org |

The urban children learn the importance of recycling resources which would otherwise reach the dumping grounds and feel empowered by helping a child their age get back to school. The rural child is provided the supplies as an award and not charity. This helps improve the involvement in class (awards for involvement and attendance) and general hygiene (cleanliness award) and increase their self confidence. |
