AAMHI is a unique citizen-led project that seeks to develop sustainable waste management models and collaborate with government and private bodies to develop environment-friendly waste segregation, recovery, recycling/processing and safe disposal systems.
It is a project under the Alibaug Solid Waste Management Association and is a marine and dry waste recovery and recycling project focussed on ten coastal villages of Kashid, Chikni, Sarva, Danda, Nandgaon, Vihur, Upper Mazgaon, Barshiv, Borli and Korlai in Murud Taluka of Raigad district.
The project was started on13th December 2021 in 5 villages, and in its first month alone, we collected 5 tonnes of dry waste from this belt. By March, this went up to 8 tonnes per month and in 2022, we had collected more than 120MT of dry waste. Till date we have saved more than 200MT from reaching the landfills, naalas & waterways

Appeal

Nestled between Pune and Mumbai, Rural Raigad is fast developing due to its strategic location near major ports. However, this growth is shadowed by a glaring oversight – the lack of a comprehensive waste management system. At Aamhi, we're committed to addressing this issue by actively working across 10 villages in Raigad, focusing on removing and recycling plastic waste. Given the low commercial value of the collected waste and the rising costs of collection and segregation, we need your support. It costs us Rupees 33 to manage each kilogram of waste. With a goal to remove 100,000 kgs from our environment, we're aiming to raise 3,300,000 rupees. Without our intervention, this massive amount of waste risks being burnt, dumped in landfills, or discarded into our oceans. Join us in making Raigad a cleaner, greener place. Every contribution makes a difference.
