Swachata Sanvardhan Sanstha Mahasangh (SSSMS) was registered as a nonpolitical, not-for-profit organization in 2009 at the charity commissioner’s office under the societies registration act 1880 and Mumbai public trust act 0f 1950. It was started as a collective response to various issues and challenges faced by the Community Based Organizations engaged in various sanitation-related activities in the slum areas of Mumbai. Poor sanitation infrastructure in the slums of Mumbai has been a significant challenge to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in slum areas.The dedicated members of SSSMS started the most needed activities of cleaning community toilets. These activities were supported and encouraged by the MCGM and World Bank. These CBOS provide various services to their communities and, on their vast field experience in the sanitation sector, are now equipped with the required knowledge, skills and attitude to extend these services in the larger market. SSSMS has a team of grassroots managers, and professional sanitary workers with extensive experience in dealing with solid and liquid waste management in urban and rural areas. The SSSMS team has been trained under the Slum Sanitation Program (SSP) department and the solid waste management department of the Municipal Corporation Of Greater Mumbai (MCGM). Sanitary workers are provided necessary training by the World Toilet College, and All India Local Self Government on various aspects of cleanliness and related rules and regulation prescribed under Solid Waste Management rules 2016, Manual Scavenging and Rehabilitation Act 2013 and other Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) to be adopted for carrying our waste management related activities. The team is equipped with the necessary expertise to take professional services in the sanitation sector.
