Four programs. One coastline.
Every program is built with a community first and scaled with them.
Coastal Rise
A cooperative economic engine for Koli fishing families - from dawn catch to direct-to-kitchen.
Coastal Rise organises coastal families into member-owned cooperatives that own the cold chain, negotiate collective prices, and sell directly to restaurants and residents. We invest in traceable seafood, fair pricing, and community reinvestment funds. Started with 14 families in Versova; today it works across four coastal wards.
Project Red Dot®
A single red dot on a wrapper protects the sanitation workers who handle our waste.
A behaviour-change program that asks households to mark menstrual and sanitary waste with a small red dot for safe segregation. Built in partnership with municipal bodies, RWAs, salons and schools. Independent audit confirms 71% household compliance in active wards.
Youth Catalyst
A collective of young leaders shaping the coast's next decade.
A one-year fellowship for 18–24 year olds from Bhoomiputra's partner wards. Each fellow receives a stipend, a senior mentor, and leads one neighbourhood project of their own design. Priority is given to first-generation graduates and residents of coastal fishing wards.
Bridging Horizons
Community, IITs, MMRDA and civic bodies - sharing one table.
A one-year research residency that places graduate researchers directly inside fishing-ward governance to co-author adaptation plans. Delivered in partnership with IIT Bombay, TISS and MMRDA. Includes the MMR Water Atlas and the coastal-literacy card game series.
