A Visit to the Forgotten Heroes — Voices of Ragpicker Women

Date: 06july 2025

“They don’t ask for sympathy, just dignity.”

This thought echoed in our hearts as we visited a group of ragpicker women living on the fringes of society, yet playing a silent but critical role in keeping our cities clean.

At Devdoot Foundation, our mission has always been to listen to the unheard, to see the unseen, and to walk with those who have been left behind. Our recent visit to a ragpicker community was not just a project meeting—it was a reality check.

Our Commitment

Devdoot Foundation is committed to turning these voices into action. Based on this interaction, we are initiating a 3-step support program:

Health & Hygiene Kits: Providing gloves, masks, and sanitary support.

Education for Children: Enrollment support, tuition classes, and school materials.

Legal Identity & Empowerment: Helping them get Aadhaar cards, ration cards, and access to government schemes.

This is just the beginning.

✋ How You Can Help

You don’t need to be rich to make a difference—you need to care.

Donate: Support our health and education kits.

Volunteer: Spend time teaching, training, or listening.

Spread Awareness: Share their stories, break the stigma.

Together, we can be Devdoots—messengers of light and justice.

Let’s give dignity back to the hands that clean our mess.
