At Lending Hands Foundation, we are passionate advocates for sustainable practices through our commitment to advancing the circular economy. This transformative approach prioritizes reducing waste, reusing resources, and recycling materials, aiming to educate and empower communities in Noida, Greater Noida, and Delhi/NCR. Moving beyond the traditional linear model of “take, make, dispose,” we advocate for a regenerative system where resources are continuously cycled back into use, ensuring sustainability for future generations.
