It Started With Organizing, Not Charity.
We began in [Year], when a group of [XX] waste workers in [District Name] were told to leave the dumpsite they had worked for years. We were not asking for handouts. We were asking to be counted as workers. We registered as a union in [Year] under registration number [XXX/XXXX], and since then our members have built branches, negotiated routes, and won a place in decisions about our own work.
