About this project
There is continuous exposure to heat, lethal gases like methane and stench of rotting garbage from landfills with detrimental impact on the waste-pickers health. Safety is not ensured, because there is no barrier against hazards and gloves, gumboots and masks are not applied.
This leads to: Emotional and Mental disturbances, substance misuse and violence
Most of the children of the waste picker community at Kaushambi have dropped out of school. They were ill-treated by teachers and other students. The teachers make them sit separately, they beat them, and they are even asked to clean the toilets in school.
In short:
all external constraints drive the waste pickers and their children into a downward spiral of diminishing health and ability to care for themselves thus perpetuating their suffering.
Sahyog Chakra is determined to reverse the spiral upwards through:
empathic listening in safe environments and soft trainings to restore their sense of safety, trust, acceptance and integrity- things that matter to connect with the humanness in us all.; to restore self-acceptance, self-care, and they can restore their power.
Exercises and trainings can be:
