What it does
Re-Trade helps people who collect recyclable waste turn informal trading into a more stable livelihood. It builds on the work people are already doing and creates a more consistent route to income.
Why it matters
Many people are already working but their income is unstable and hard to grow.
They are often stuck in survival mode, never knowing what they will earn from one week to the next or whether one setback will undo their progress.
Re-Trade changes that.
It helps people stabilise their income, make better business decisions, and grow what they’ve already started.
How this connects to work
This is about staying in the economy and growing within it. For many, this is the difference between surviving and progressing.
Re-Trade helps participants:
- increase and stabilise their income
- move from informal to more structured businesses
- and build something that can last
