Waste Ventures Charities

Mission: Waste Ventures aims to permanently raise waste picker families out of poverty by providing them with a blueprint for environmentally processing garbage to increase incomes 3x and allow their children to go to school.
Results: We have successfully completed a pilot composting plant in Bokaro Steel City, in east India, as well as initiated a complete integrated solid waste management system run by waste pickers in Osmanabad, Maharashtra.
Target demographics: Waste pickers in India and across the world
Direct beneficiaries per year: Until 2012 we aim to have given over 1000 waste pickers a sustainable livelihood and path out of poverty.
