Friend In Need India Trust (FIN)

This is what we refer to as the "WASHE approach," which means that in addition to teaching children to practice good hygiene and communal harmony, we also need to motivate them to do so. Educates students about the four R's—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Respect—in order to equip them to become environmental change agents in their neighbourhoods.

Encourages the use of ecosan toilets—dry flush toilets with urine diversion that are hygienic for the environment and eventually for people—in coastal settlements. These eco-friendly 300+ structures have been built by Friend In Need.

We educate students in the following areas:
1. English-speaking classes
2. Women's cycling, scooter, and moped driving classes
3. Computer and smartphone typing lessons

We connect this to our goal of creating a Clean India. Any student enrolling in one of the courses mentioned above must ensure the following:

1. Sorting garbage into biodegradable and non-biodegradable categories;
2. Non-biodegradable waste that cannot be sold to a recycler should be cleaned up and brought to the FIN office so that it does not end up in a landfill, dump, or be openly burned.
3. Participate in a minimum of two of our annual village cleanup events.
