The GreenRoot program
A structured journey from stabilization to a paid green job to the career you had before — with therapy and medicine funded by the work itself.
Your path through GreenRoot
Stabilize
Medical check-up and psychiatric assessment; medication-assisted treatment where indicated; a personal safety and craving plan; first meeting with Raha, your AI companion. No shifts yet — health first.
Work & heal
Three supported cleanup shifts a week in a small crew with a peer mentor. Group therapy twice a week. Tokens for every shift; weekly token review with your counselor.
Build
Move indoors or to the sorting line: materials handling, machine basics, upcycling workshop, quality control. Raha maps your skills and drafts your career-rewind plan toward your previous profession.
Return
CV rebuild with honest gap-framing, mock interviews, a supported internship or direct placement, and the alumni network. You leave with a job and a community — not just a certificate.
Structure is the therapy
Every hour has a purpose — that's the point.
07:30
Crew meet-up & check-in: mood, cravings, safety gear. Raha logs your check-in.
08:00
Cleanup shift in park / riverbank / street. Breaks built in; mentor nearby.
11:30
Weigh & sort: PET, metal, paper, glass. Tokens credited on the spot.
13:30
Lunch, then group therapy, an AI session, or a skills class — your schedule.
Where the money goes
Recycling revenue
Sold materials (PET, metal, paper, glass) plus upcycled medical products generate income for the program.
Participant rewards
Fair wages plus tokens redeemable for essentials, transport, phone credit and skills courses.
Treatment fund
A transparent share funds each crew's therapy, psychiatric care and essential medicines — published on the Impact page.
The upcycling line: from litter to medical supplies
The most symbolic job in the program: making the material of the street useful to the hospital.
1 · Collect & sort
PET and HDPE plastics separated on the sorting line, weighed and logged.
2 · Clean & shred
Wash, sanitize and shred into certified flake at the micro-factory.
3 · Remanufacture
With certified manufacturing partners: face shields, splint components, clinical packaging.
4 · Deliver
Supplies donated or sold to clinics; proceeds feed the treatment fund.
Safety note: medical-grade remanufacturing happens with certified partners under regulatory standards; GreenRoot crews handle collection, sorting and pre-processing only.
