“We decided to take matters into our own hands and not wait for the government’s help,” squatter Mankumari Ale told IRIN. She and her neighbours in Mandikatar decided to form a committee and collect money each month from whatever savings they had.

They were able to establish a cooperative and, with the support of Lumanti NGO, managed to collect enough funds to begin income generation activities, and members also started to clean their area, build toilets and install a drinking water tank.

“Over the last five years we have managed to save many lives, and now not many get sick,” said Ale, adding that other squatter settlements should try to form their own cooperatives and work together.
