The event turned out a massive hit, with around 150 plus residents turning up from the locality.
Hasiru Dala has supported BBMP in creating awareness in these communities for some time, but compliance was still a challenge for several reasons. Non-compliance had led to Blackspots in multiple locations. The street play was a creative medium through which we tried to convey health impacts, best practices and behavioural change.
We hope this street play will lead to some impact and proper disposal of waste in the locality. Behavioural change takes time, and it can’t be done in a day. The interactive street play is the first of many to come, and we hope to create such events in the future to improve solid waste management in the city. These actions are labour intensive, thus to support us donate here.
