Zenial Urban And Rural Development Society is committed to improving the lives of waste pickers, who play a crucial role in maintaining environmental sustainability and urban cleanliness, yet remain among the most marginalized sections of society.

Through our Waste Picker Welfare Initiative, we provide comprehensive support aimed at ensuring safety, health, dignity, and sustainable livelihoods for waste pickers working in urban and semi-urban areas.

Our Support Includes:

• Safety & Protective Gear: Distribution of gloves, masks, safety shoes, and jackets to reduce health and occupational risks.

• Healthcare Support: Regular health check-up camps, access to basic medicines, and health awareness sessions.

• Hygiene & Safety Awareness: Training on safe waste handling, personal hygiene, and workplace safety practices.

• Livelihood & Skill Development: Skill-based training and alternative livelihood support to improve income stability.

• Social Security & Rights Awareness: Awareness on government schemes, workers’ rights, and access to social benefits.

Our Impact:

By supporting waste pickers, we not only improve their quality of life but also contribute to cleaner cities, healthier communities, and a more sustainable environment. Our approach is community-centered, transparent, and focused on long-term social impact.

With the support of donors, CSR partners, and well-wishers, Zenial Urban And Rural Development Society strives to create a future where waste pickers work in safe conditions, receive fair opportunities, and live with dignity and respect.
