How it works?  

At Kashvi, every donation undergoes a comprehensive process of segregation to ensure it reaches those who need it the most. Items in good health, such as gently used clothes, working electronics and intact toys, are directly distributed to communities in slum areas, providing immediate support to the families. Items not in optimal condition are sent to the local RRR centre, where they are responsibly repurposed or recycled. 

We follow a similar approach with book donations. Academic books are donated to schools, while non-academic books are shared with the local public. This is because in many slum communities, there is limited familiarity with the English language, and interest is only shown in novels written in either Hindi or other local languages. 

With us, you can be assured that your donations are being put to the best possible use. We are fully transparent in our processes, and we ensure that every item finds its rightful place, whether it be communities in need or through responsible repurposing. We take pride in making sure every contribution is valued.
