BBC Media Action is now embarking on a new project funded by the H&M Foundation, called PRIDE – a Pathway to Respect, Identity, Dignity and Empowerment, where we will seek to shift the way general populations in Bengaluru think about where their waste goes, and the role waste pickers play in the circular economy, ensuring that others do not drown in their own waste. The project will also work to create a sense of pride for waste pickers, in recognising and celebrating the part they play as critical contributors to both society and the economy. The PRIDE project sits within a larger Collective Impact Initiative, where other partners will seek to address complementary outcomes to collectively improve the lives of waste pickers.
