The working poor, especially women, know more than anyone the challenges they face AND the solutions they need so before we act, we listen. GFI’s initiatives are worker-led because they are informed by the voice of workers, designed in collaboration with worker organizations and informal unions, and implemented by those in and from the communities we serve. By listening first GFI’s work is rooted in the realities of the poor not a “framework” or “theory of change.” For over 20 years with our hundreds of worker-led partners have representing millions of workers to create a more just, secure future of work where rights, resilience, self-reliance and dignity are foundational so that communities of promise become centers of prosperity.
