The change India needs is in your hands.
We organize community and individual cleanups across India and reward the volunteers who participate. Your donation funds the gloves, bags, and rewards that make it possible.
Why we started Project CI
Project CI started with something you've probably seen too — Instagram and TikTok videos calling India dirty, unsafe, a place you shouldn't even visit. It's not entirely wrong. But it's not the full story either, and we got tired of watching it define how the world sees India. Click "Read our full story" to learn more!
Upcoming cleanup events
Pick a city, show up, and bring a friend. Every event is led by one of our volunteer event holders.

Why we started Project CI
Yes, India has over a billion people. That's not an excuse to stop caring — it's exactly why one person's effort isn't enough. So we built Project CI to make cleaning up worth people's time: we cover gloves, bags, transport, and pay volunteers a reward for verified cleanups. If people are going to show up, we want to make sure it's worth it for them too.
We have made it our mission to motivate and help people keep their environmnet clean! Scroll down to know why!
How the project works
Project CI brings communities together to create a cleaner India by rewarding verified cleanups with your donations which helps motivate.
Why We Started
Littering continues to impact communities across India, affecting public spaces, the environment, and everyday life. We created Project CI to encourage people to take action and make a difference.
How It Works
Volunteers clean public areas, take before and after photos, and submit their cleanup through our verification process. Once approved, they receive a reward for their hard work while inspiring others to participate.
How Donations Help
Every donation helps support verified cleanups. Funds are converted into Indian Rupees and used to reward volunteers who dedicate their time to making their communities cleaner and healthier.
Our Vision
Our goal is to build a future where community cleanups become a regular habit, inspiring thousands of people to work together.
