In India, cloth has always carried meaning beyond material. What if cloth could mean more than what we see? Cloth can mean so much— warmth in winters, fundamental need in menstruation, relief in disaster response, and in creating opportunities for communities often left out. This Cloth Day—18th February, we open up a global conversation on cloth and the many possibilities it holds.

Water bodies are lifelines, deeply tied to rural livelihoods. As heat waves grow longer and harsher, the crisis of drying and disappearing water sources is becoming urgent. Yet across India, communities are taking charge—reviving ponds, cleaning wells, and creating new water bodies. At Goonj, we are fueling this spirit of collective action, turning adversity into resilience, and crisis into hope. Read the story of Vishwaspur village in Chhattisgarh, where Goonj mobilised villagers to come together and build a functioning irrigation pond through their own efforts. goonj.org/chhattisgarh/vishw… Are you interested in hearing more inspiring stories from the ground?

As temperatures are rising and rainfall grows more erratic, water bodies play a critical role as they connect directly with livelihood. In many corners of India, rural communities are not just enduring the crisis of drying/unusable water bodies — they’re responding with action. At Goonj, mobilising, motivating and enabling this collective grassroots climate action is at the heart of our work. Read the story of Gummudipoondi village in Tamil Nadu where Goonj mobilised villagers to come together to revive their choked canal securing their local asset and resources through their own efforts.

When communities lead, change follows In the remote village of Maykot, Uttarakhand, recurring landslides destroyed a vital road. Yet, instead of waiting for change, the villagers came together—mobilised and motivated by Goonj—to rebuild their path to safety, experiencing how material acted as a reward aligned with their basic needs. This journey not only restored connectivity but also awakened innate dignity and self-worth, uniting all as equal stakeholders.This is what true resilience looks like—when communities drive. Over the years, Goonj’s engagement in Uttarakhand has spanned disaster relief, livelihood recovery, women-led initiatives, and circular economy practices. From establishing women-led production units to creating cloth pads (MY Pads) and utility items like sujnis and aasans, we turn local skills and urban surplus into tangible community resilience. Join us at the Dehradun Chaupal to listen, reflect, and move forward with such stories.
