PAHAL promotes cloth for work to encourage old clothes [and other materials] as a developmental resource rather than charitable item. Communities are motivated to identify the pressing development needs of their own area.
They are encouraged to do shramdaan (community labor) and get material in return, with dignity; as a reward. It helps develop a stronger relationship between our local partner organization and the communities.
