Promote social inclusion to uplift marginalized communities.

By equipping waste pickers with tools, training, and social skills, this initiative fosters sustainable waste management practices, promoting resource efficiency and circular economy principles. This effort aligns with SDG 13 (Climate Action) by reducing waste-related emissions and advancing climate resilience, SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by encouraging inclusive, sustainable urban waste systems. Additionally, it supports SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by creating livelihood opportunities, improving working conditions, and promoting dignified, productive employment for waste pickers, ensuring they are integrated into the formal economy.
