Plastic-free drive at Asha

Plastic is everywhere at all the Asha centres. Understanding the consequences of using plastic consistently, Asha slums have pledged to promote the healthy and free environment. The slums were already deprived and marginalized in terms of basic amenities, have plastic trash all around. The accumulated garbage shows the insects, mosquitoes and harmful bacteria can lead to various diseases. In order to minimize it Asha slums had cleanliness drive amongst all the participants. Asha slum communities includes Seelampur, Jeewan nagar, Chanderpuri, Ekta vihar etc.

After few days, the community member called Malaria inspectors and also asked the municipal corporation of Delhi (MCD) workers went there to spray at the open drains and channels. The malaria inspectors visited all the respective slums and examined all the open drains and coolers etc. To ensure no dengue and malaria mosquitoes can thrive.

Not only the women of Mahila Mandal, Asha graduates and college students helped to clean the ground.
