At Waste Warriors, we spend most of our days working with communities, local governments, waste workers, schools, businesses, and internal stakeholders to build solutions to the waste crisis across the Himalayas.
But every third Saturday of the month, we slow down.
We call them Super Saturdays.
Instead of regular work schedules, Warriors across our locations come together for activities that help us learn, connect, and recharge. Some spend the day reading. Others head out on treks, organize picnics, try their hand at upcycling, learn composting techniques, participate in creative workshops, or simply spend time with colleagues.
The goal is simple: to create space for learning, creativity, and connection—to bond across roles, discover new interests, share knowledge, and return to work with fresh energy and perspectives.
In a sector where burnout is common and challenges can often feel overwhelming, creating intentional spaces for joy, curiosity, and connection is just as important as delivering impact.
Super Saturdays are just one part of how we think about wellbeing at Waste Warriors. Throughout the year, we also create opportunities for our teams to recharge through the rush of the final financial quarter with Slow Down Days, an additional Self-Care Leave, and an annual Hobby Fund that supports personal wellness, sports, creative pursuits, and lifelong learning.
Over the past year:
📚 150+ books issued through our office libraries
🌱 95% of Warriors utilized the Hobby Fund
💚 165+ Warriors took Self-Care Leave
🏕️ 15+ Slow Down Days were organised across locations
👥 All of this was made possible by a team of 250+ Warriors.
Because building a better world shouldn’t come at the cost of building a good life.
Here’s a glimpse into how our Warriors spend Super Saturday.
