In the streets of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, stray cattle often struggle to find nutritious food, frequently consuming plastic waste and harmful materials from garbage piles. This not only affects their health but also contributes to environmental pollution and urban waste challenges.
But what if waste could become a solution instead of a problem?
Through our Chaara Car initiative, Youth Network Foundation is turning this vision into reality—by transforming green waste into nourishment for stray cattle while promoting responsible waste management.
The Problem: Waste & Neglect
Across urban areas like Ghaziabad:
- Households generate large amounts of organic and green waste
- This waste often ends up mixed with plastic and dumped openly
- Stray cattle consume this contaminated waste, leading to serious health issues
- Lack of structured waste collection worsens the problem
This creates a cycle of pollution, animal suffering, and environmental degradation.
The Solution: Chaara Car Initiative
To tackle this issue, we launched the Chaara Car initiative—a simple yet impactful solution.
We collect green fodder and organic waste directly from households
Segregate it responsibly
And use it to feed stray cattle safely and nutritiously
This initiative ensures that:
- Waste is reused instead of dumped
- Cattle receive healthy, plastic-free food
- Communities actively participate in sustainable practices
Our Impact
Verified through on-ground campaigns and community participation
More Than Feeding: A Step Towards Sustainability
Chaara Car is more than feeding cattle—it is about:
- Creating awareness about waste segregation
- Encouraging citizens to take responsibility for their environment
- Building a model that can be scaled across cities
By connecting waste management with animal welfare, we are solving two major urban problems at once.
