My name is BINDU FERNANDES. I am a Rotarian at the Rotary Club of Mumbai, SOBO. I am a concerned citizen. Me and my fellow Rotarians are coming together to tackle a grave issue that plagues one of the most pristine areas of India: - The Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are popular holiday destinations with supposedly pristine beaches. But currently, these beaches are in a terrible state, with marine litter everywhere. The island is a haven for tourists. The locals are unfortunately finding it difficult to tackle this problem.

The Kachrewaale Project (TKP) is an NGO and initiative started by Garima Poonia (a waste management expert) with the objective of cleaning up the beaches in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The plan is to conduct 40 beach cleanups and approximately 60 underwater dives on the beaches of an area called Neil Island, Havelock Island, and 18 other islands, which are part of two Marine National Parks. This endeavor requires approximately INR 27 lakh in funding. If more funds are raised, then more beaches will be cleaned. Please continue to fund my campaign even if it goes past the goal since the total amount to be raised is very high.

Support this campaign and let us make the Andaman and Nicobar Islands 'Heaven on Earth' again.
