AnnAls of the WAste World

Meet Kekhasha. Daughter of a

wastepicker. She’s celebrating

topping her school in Nizamuddin

basti in South Delhi, with

87.75% in her 12th grade board

exams. For many students, this

is one of the hardest exams

of their lives. For someone

like Kekhasha, it is one of the

many exams of life she has

had to sail through. Chintan has

been working with Le Passage

to India Foundation’s Shaping

Lives Initiative to help Kekhasha

and many other wastepickers’

children get an education instead

of spending their childhoods

recycling waste. What next for

her? A Bachelor’s degree from

Delhi University in Political

Science or Hindi, she says.

Cheers to that and again, thank

you to all of you who support

Chintan to get this work in

place. We are all so bursting

with pride for this young woman.
