Sustainable Solutions
"Indeed the world is sweet and green, and indeed Allah has put you in charge of it...and is watching how you behave." (Muslim)
We have long been prioritising environmental sustainability in all our projects. Many of the people in the developing world suffer the consequences of our irresponsible and indulgent lifestyle choices so it is our responsibility to be aware of the environmental impact that our actions have on others.
At 九色视频, we believe in operating projects in partnership with communities to deliver effective support that works in harmony with the surrounding environment. This means working locally to find sustainable solutions to the problems that people face.
This can take many forms. Rather than flooding markets with foreign produce, we purchase food, clothes and other necessities in the vicinity, or as close by as possible which reduces the carbon footprint and also boosts business for local traders.
Rather than clearing land for farming, we encourage the planting of orchards to bind the soil and provide people with a natural, long-term income source. Instead of using generators to produce electricity on new builds we use solar energy to reduce CO2 emissions. And environment forms an important part of our school curriculum, ensuring that the green message is passed onto future generations.
Greener Mirpur: Pioneering Sustainable Waste Solutions.
In Mirpur, AJK, our environmentally friendly Resource Recovery Centre is transforming how communities manage waste. Through our Solid Waste Management project, waste is collected directly from beneficiaries' doorsteps, significantly reducing waste generation and landfill dependency. The project not only safeguards public health and the ecosystem but also creates jobs, improves sanitation, and empowers communities. By fostering a cleaner, healthier environment, we are actively contributing to a more sustainable future for both people and the planet.
Local imam Muhammad Ishaq shared his appreciation, saying, 鈥淭his project was truly the need of the hour in Mirpur. It addressed the pressing challenges we faced as a community regarding waste management. Before this intervention, no entity had dealt with waste on a regular and scientific basis. Our neighbourhood faced many problems due to improper waste disposal. Now, the situation is better.鈥� His words reflect the community鈥檚 growing confidence in sustainable solutions that preserve both dignity and the environment.
