Why Do People Live in Landfills?
Because they have no other choice. Garbage dumps are the only place in these areas where people can live for free and find items that they can keep for their families or sell for profit, which incentivizes vulnerable populations to stay there. These children are not just statistics. They are bright, resourceful, and resilient. But they’ve been abandoned by the systems meant to protect them. Their environments are unfit for survival, let alone for dreams.
Our Mission
No child should grow up in a landfill to be a scavenger to eat and survive from the food and trash discarded. This documentary will serve as a catalyst to:
Vision
-
Raise global awareness about this hidden crisis.
-
Pressure governments to prohibit children from living near landfills.
-
Mobilize resources from global philanthropists, corporations, and the world’s 1%.
-
Fund relocation programs that provide land, new villages, transportation, schools, clothing, healthcare, and the basic human dignity these children deserve.
