From Struggles to Success: Ameen’s Triumph in Sanitation Advocacy

Joining the ATF project gave me the chance to turn our struggles into strength. Today, as Vice President of the Pit Cleaner Association, I’m proud that we’ve gained government recognition and access to safe disposal systems. Together, we’re building better lives and a cleaner future for our city.

Under his strong leadership, the association earned government recognition and leading to regular meetings. These meetings provided a platform to raise and discuss issues and seek solutions.

Through collective bargaining, Ameen and his fellow pit cleaners gained access to government sanitation treatment plants, allowing them to dispose of waste safely. This transformative change empowered them to build sustainable and thriving businesses. Ameen's journey from adversity to advocacy not only transformed his own life but also brought about positive changes for pit cleaners in Lucknow.

Ameen's dedication bore fruit as his business gradually thrived. His leadership abilities were soon recognized, and he was unanimously elected as the Vice President of the association.
