🌱 Real impact is best understood through the voices of the community.
We spoke to the people of the village to understand how Project SAJJ has shaped their everyday lives from cleaner surroundings to growing awareness around waste management and community participation.
Small actions. Collective effort. Meaningful change. 💚

Meet the women behind Project SAJJ.
Ratnaprabha Patil, Shilpa Patil, and Charvi Patil come from different backgrounds, bringing unique experiences, skills, and perspectives to the initiative. Together, they share a common purpose: creating stronger communities through responsible waste management, women’s empowerment, and grassroots action.
From coordinating field operations and implementing government welfare initiatives to leading community engagement and creating livelihood opportunities for local women, their work goes far beyond waste management. They are building awareness, fostering leadership, and inspiring collective action across the village.
What makes Project SAJJ special is not just the system it has created, but the people behind it—women who chose to invest their time, energy, and passion into creating meaningful change where it matters most.
This is the team turning awareness into action, waste into opportunity, and community participation into lasting impact.
Because real change begins when communities lead from within. 🌱

Sometimes, the most meaningful conversations happen without words.
As part of our Expressive Arts Session with Team SAJJ, we took a pause from the daily routine to reflect, create, and connect through the arts.
By opening our senses and allowing the landscape to enter our bodies, we reconnected with the essence of why we do this work to take care of that which gives us life, nourishment, and sustenance.
Facilitators and .khushi.p guided the group to explore their relationship with their lived landscape and their work. Through theatre and expressive arts processes, we reworked narratives and found blessings in that which is often deemed as waste.
With enthusiastic participation from Sajj Sakhis and visitors alike, the session became a space for expression, self-discovery, and community bonding.
Because building a cleaner world starts with nurturing the people working towards it and by reconnecting with our hearts. 🌱✨

Waste collection drives in Navkhar Village, Alibaug ♻️🌍

All the dry waste generated from homes, shops, and community spaces is collected by our Sajj Sakhis, who carefully sort it into different categories for responsible recycling and management.

This initiative is a step towards ensuring that no waste ends up in landfills, oceans, or dumped on open land. Slowly but consistently, we are working to make the villages of Alibaug cleaner, greener, and more sustainable.
Every small action today creates a better tomorrow. 🌱

Rotary Club of Bombay Midtown, proud funders of Project Sajj, visited the initiative and spent meaningful time with the Sajj Sakhi’s, interacting with them personally and learning about their journey. They also visited the sorting center and the villages where the Sajj Sakhi’s work tirelessly every day.

Their visit, encouragement, and appreciation deeply motivated the Sajj Sakhi’s to continue this work with the same passion and dedication. ♻️✨

In the streets of Navkhar, Bagdanda, and Morapada in Alibaug, Maharashtra, conversations around waste came alive through a street play 🎭♻️

Project Sajj, a women-led initiative working in dry waste collection, brought this street play to the community to explain the program in a simple, relatable, and engaging way turning an important message into something people could easily understand and connect with.

The street play was performed by , a Navi Mumbai based group that spreads awareness on various social issues through engaging street plays and performances, making important messages more impactful for the community.
