Rising Out of the Ashes
ROOTA is a Canadian Registered Charity driven by an unwavering commitment to uplifting marginalized and impoverished communities. Our focal point of attention centers on the Garbage collectors, of Mokhatam, an endeavor that holds deep meaning for us. At the heart of our cause lies the eradication of social stigma.
ROOTA envisions a world where marginalized communities, starting with the Zabaleen in Cairo, experience transformative empowerment, breaking the cycles of poverty through sustainable education, economic opportunities, and innovative solutions.
ROOTA adopts a holistic and community-centered approach to address the unique challenges faced by the Zabaleen community, including:
ROOTA has been accredited consultative status with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) since 2021 and the UN Economic and Social Council since 2023.
