About The Nivaar Project

Clothing is not vanity.
It is access.

"Nivaar (ਨਿਵਾਰਿ) — a Gurmukhi word from Gurbani, meaning to eradicate, to dispel. We eradicate the barrier of clothing."

The Nivaar Project collects gently-used professional Indian and western clothing and redistributes it to individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds preparing for interviews, internships, and workplaces.

The initiative is rooted in dignity, access, and professional confidence. We believe that appropriate professional clothing should never be a barrier to opportunity.

This is an early-stage initiative. Joining now means building something from the ground up — with a team that measures success in lives changed, not numbers on a slide.
