Our Work

Education

Most waste pickers are either uneducated or have low levels of primary education. This remains unchanged for their children as most of them drop out of school to supplement family income. They face social stigma and discrimination coupled with lack of access to mainstream schools, and their learning levels are usually lower than their peers from privileged backgrounds.
