Our Mission

Globally, over 1.3 billion people live with some form of disability (WHO, 2024). In India, persons with disabilities make up 2.2% of the population, yet fewer than 30% are employed in the formal workforce (ILO India Employment Report, 2024). When circular economies are said to reduce global waste and greenhouse gas emissions and are crucial to developmental goals, the cost of this workforce exclusion is high. The UNDP estimates that disability-based discrimination and barriers to livelihood reduce national GDPs significantly. The sustainability movement cannot neglect disability inclusion.

Revive is a social initiative designed to expand equitable access to formal livelihoods for persons with disabilities while addressing urgent environmental challenges. Based in New Delhi, India, Revive supports disabled folks through skill training that transforms low-value waste streams into valuable, functional resources that can create sustainable and saleable goods.

Through community drives and local resource recovery systems, Revive collects the necessary materials for production, supporting persons with disabilities as independent creators, manufacturers, and stakeholders. It also amplifies this engagement through improved market access, visibility, exhibitions, outreach programmes, and documentation.
