  • Since

    2016

Actively working since 2016 in Himachal Pradesh with the aim to preserve environment and culture of the Himalayan foothills. We accomplishes the m Read moreission by working closely with local communities through ground action and education. Focusing on solid waste management and plastic pollution in villages. Currently we have built 6 Material Recovery Facilities in rural areas, collecting roughly 2.5-5 tonnes of non biodegradable waste on a daily basis. Infrastructure & education must go hand in hand therefor resulting in a circular & sustainable waste management. Education through ground action is important hence we work with local schools, communities and regularly organise cleanup campaigns.


Issue

In the famous & remote tourist hotspots (a village, trek route or a pilgrimage) solid waste has been increasing rapidly along with urbanisation. Solid waste has been contributing a lot in the degradation of local water bodies, air quality and obviously it's sour to the eyes. In the higher reaches typically at and above 300 meters if a heavy material such as glass bottle reaches there are very bleak chances to retrieve it.


Action

a) Decentralised solid waste management b) Creating bio-economy and generating green livelihood through scientific solid waste management c) Exposure visits of multiple stakeholders, young generation and administration to our MRF sites d) Hands on experience and education through cleanup campaigns e)Policies to control non-biodegradable solid waste at the foothill

  • Sustaining paradise

    State

    The foundation’s flagship project, 'Sustaining Paradise,' aims to preserve and conserve the precious natural heritage of the Himalayas.

    The influx of tourists has led to pollution, with non-biodegradable waste accumulating in valleys and streams, causing environmental harm.

    The project focuses on building a sustainable waste management system at the local level, with waste collection and processing centers supported by communities. Workshops, trainings, and clean-up drives empower communities for safe waste disposal.

  • Mansari Material recovery facility

    District

    State

    The aim of this project is to achieve complete source segregation of waste from all waste generators in multiple panchayats around Mansari, enabling end-to-end waste management for the villages.

    Healing Himalayas is providing support to achieve these goals. The team Healing Himalayas is involved in providing facilities to households, shops, restaurants and hotels etc for door to door waste collection.

    These villages never had the opportunity or the understanding of scientific disposal of non biodegradable waste hence we divert roughly 2 tonnes o =f solid waste from being dumped in river or mountain slop.
