Goonj, founded in 1999 by Magsaysay award winner Mr. Anshu Gupta, works on poverty alleviation, rural development, and disaster relief & rehab, by using the cities’ discards as fuel for wide-spread development work across villages in India, creating a barter between two new currencies - the urban underutilized material, and, the efforts of rural communities who work on the neglected issues around water, sanitation, agriculture, education, local infrastructure, access, etc. Working with a strong network of 600+ grassroots partners, in the last 8 years (2014-2022), they have reached out to more than 12 million people, facilitated 55,000+ development activities, and channelized more than 45 million kgs of material across 31 states & UTs of India.

Goonj Rahat Relief:Support for disaster affected Communities

As the monsoon season progresses across India, severe floods and landslides have displaced families, damaged homes, and threatened lives and livelihoods in many parts of the country. Heavy rainfall has overwhelmed local infrastructure and resources, leaving communities in urgent need of assistance. While some areas remain on alert as rains continue, immediate action is critical to support relief and recovery efforts in the hardest-hit regions. Our state teams and grassroots partners are closely monitoring conditions and responding on the ground. We will support nearly 7,000 families, reaching out to 35,000 people with urgent relief. We kindly ask you to join our campaign to raise funds that will help provide immediate essentials such as utensils, sanitary pads, solar lights, blankets, clothes, mosquito nets, toiletries, and more. Timely aid will make a vital difference in alleviating suffering and supporting recovery. Let’s stand united with our fellow citizens across India. We are there—your support is crucial to make a difference.
