OUR IMPACT
Sustainable Collective Action With Strong Results
Voices around the world are demanding leadership on poverty, inequality and climate change. To turn these demands into actions, world leaders gathered on 25 September, 2015, at the United Nations in New York to adopt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The 2030 Agenda comprises 17 new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will guide policy and funding for the next 15 years, beginning with a historic pledge to end poverty. Everywhere. Permanently. ICA has been on these goals for 50 years already! Now we have more global force behind us. ICA supports followings UN sustainable development goals:

Cyclone Fani leaves behind a Devastating Trail
Cyclone Fani has passed but has left behind a trail of devastation and distress in the lives of millions! A commendable job by the state government, NDRF and many other agencies, effective evacuation has certainly minimized the loss of life in a big way.
In the last 2 decades of Goonj's work.. we have seen thousands of people walk into homes where there is nothing left or fields with all the crops destroyed. The intensity of the winds damaged concrete buildings, so the impact on millions of mud houses---from essential belonging to livestock can be anyone's guess.
We are here to do our bit and need you too…to make sure that people get the basic relief, from food, utensils, tarpaulins, school material, struggling back to life. We also stand with them for long term rehabilitation too. Every penny, Every effort, Every Contribution Matters.
