Following a thorough desk and field research, we now publish our Local Impact Assessment on Child Labour in the Waste-Pickers Community in Pune.

We want to thank all contributors to this Local Impact Assessment, who conducted the surveys during difficult times of COVID-19. The results of this report contribute to our aim of reducing child labour and increasing education enrollment. We will continue to believe that when consumers concern, corporates return, women earn, and children will learn.

Dear Miss-collect team, Greetings!
Your commitment is clearly visible from this study, and for working out the next steps. Indeed, this sector needs a lot of attention specially from Child Labour angle. Very impressive to understand the next steps worked out with a clear tagline of ‘WHEN CONSUMERS CONCERN, CORPORATES
RETURN, MOTHERS EARN, AND CHILDREN WILL LEARN’. Great congratulations for this initiative..
Dear miss Collect
I am pleased with your initial ideas to prevent child labor in the collection of waste paper. I have guided multiple projects to address child labor in international value chains. The interesting part of this idea is that makes the stakeholders (workers) part of the solution by empowering and diversify their activities so they can add value to their activities. In addition the focus is on the development of a niche product which also makes more add value in the value chain possible.
