Who We Are

Dha3R is a non-profit organization with a grassroots movement to stop environmental pollution and make our communities a better place to live. We work directly with local communities to drive real change.

Founded by environmental activists Venkat Ankam and Manoj Vidiyala, Dha3R involves everyone as part of the solution to protect mother earth (Dhatri) using our 3R framework — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

We are a follower and supporter of the United Nations campaign for individual action on climate change and sustainability. Every one of us can help environment — at Dha3R, we turn that belief into ground-level action.
