Turning sacred floral offerings into sustainable livelihoods while keeping our rivers clean and communities thriving.
Founded in 2017 by Dr. Neeta Srivastava Prasad in honor of her late father, Shri Sushilchandra Srivastava, Sushirmala Foundation transforms the sacred tradition of floral offerings into a force for environmental protection and women's empowerment.
We collect floral waste from temples across Mumbai and transform it into premium eco-friendly products—creating sustainable livelihoods for thousands of underprivileged women while protecting our rivers and communities.
A future where every offering and act of devotion nurtures the ecosystem—empowering women with dignified livelihoods and ensuring that no sacred practice harms the environment.
To build a circular, scalable model that transforms discarded flowers, textiles, and household waste into high-value, eco-conscious products—enabling underprivileged women to lead sustainable enterprises while actively protecting our land, water, and communities.
Every flower transformed creates ripples of positive change across our environment, communities, and the lives of thousands of women.
