YFLO Ahmedabad, under the leadership of Chairperson Neha Goyal, distributed essential grocery kits to ragpicker women, in collaboration with Paryavaran Mitra, in order to empower them by ensuring food security for their families. Their members are working to uplift these unsung environmental champions by providing them with livelihood, inclusion, and dignity. Currently, 30,000 women collect over 6 lakh kg of waste daily in Ahmedabad alone.
During the monsoon, earning opportunities drop drastically. To ensure food security, YFLO Ahmedabad distributed grocery kits to ragpicker families, each containing: 5 kg Rice, 5 kg Atta, 5L Cooking Oil, 2 kg Dal, 1 kg Salt, 1 kg Sugar, and essential spices. These kits provide essential nutrition for an entire month, a simple yet impactful way to support the women who keep our cities clean.
