Baeru Environmental Services
Organization Details
The increasing amount of plastic pollution is a serious threat to marine life as well as to coastal communities. Our organisation was born out of the need to address this particular issue. We follow a 3 pronged approach of partnerships with government bodies, infrastructure development, and livelihood generation for rural women to enable climate action and gender justice.
Our biggest strength lies in leveraging the power of design and technology in a lingual and regional context.
We work under five verticals:
1) Women-led Waste Management and Advocacy
2) Ocean Bound Plastics Mitigation and Recovery
3) Climate Technology
4) Community Engagement
5) Eco-School Education Programs
