Since 1970
A fund-raiser at your doorstep
MESCO's Old Newspaper Units initiative provides an opportunity for individuals, families, and communities to contribute to meaningful social change through a simple everyday activity. By collecting and donating old newspapers, supporters can help MESCO generate resources for its various humanitarian and social welfare initiatives.
This initiative encourages responsible recycling while transforming unused newspapers into valuable support for those in need. Every contribution, big or small, helps MESCO continue its efforts in education, women empowerment, healthcare, poverty relief, and community development.
Through the Old Newspaper Units initiative, MESCO aims to make social contribution easy, accessible, and meaningful, demonstrating how a small effort at every doorstep can create a positive impact on society.
Old Newspaper Collection Unit started in the year 1970 by MESCO with an idea to raise funds by collecting and selling Newspapers. With a small amount of Rs. 3000/- generated by this sale in the first year, the activity has grown in leaps and bounds; from providing notebooks and textbooks to the students to supporting their careers. The activity today is run with three mobile units (Mumbai City, Mumbai Suburban and Thane), collecting for 65 locations (3500 houses spread in 1652 societies and 10 Institutional Units) and is manned by a team of 10 dedicated staff who are often the first point of contact for the organization to the donors. Today this fund-raising platform supports educational scholarships, treatment and medical needs and also provides aid to many. You can just make a call or SMS us or send an e-mail and our MESCO team will come and pick up the old Newspapers and magazines from your doorstep regularly every month.
