How We Work

Nurture

Build and nurture inclusive women led networks across India that are committed to clean air and a countrywide healthy AQI.

Educate

Build capacity and commitment of stakeholders to engage with social, economic and environmental impacts of air pollution and climate change.

Engage

Create and disseminate simple creative communication to improve awareness and knowledge and empower change-makers.

Advocate

Hyper-local, regional, narratives and collaborative campaigns on the health impacts of air pollution and poor AQI.

What is AQI and why is it important?

Like you check for rain or bad weather, it is essential to also keep an eye on the AQI, the National Air Quality Index launched in 2014 under the Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan. The index measures 8 parameters across 240 cities in India with 342 monitoring stations, and it shows the current and forecasted levels of particulate matter in the air.

How to measure AQI?

At Warrior Moms we fight air pollution as part of various citizen groups, local and national. If you’re reading this and engaging in the fight, you’re a Warrior Mom too! To empower and enable you with good data, we’ve picked out favourite apps and websites that we’ve used over the years.
