Finding a Collective Voice to Become Visible: The Creation of the RENAREC

By Olga Abizaid on November 01, 2011

Story prepared by: Olga Abizaid, WIEGO with Felipe Toledo, Fundación AVINA, Yolanda Bueno, Fundación Alianza, and María Llanes (former President of RENAREC)

After almost three years of continuous work, in July 2011, members of the RENAREC were able to celebrate an important organizational milestone: their legal recognition as a National Federation of waste pickers’ organizations – a goal that they set their eyes on soon after the network was established in December 2008.
