Transforming Women's Lives
WAGES' mission is to build worker-owned green businesses that create healthy, dignified jobs for low-income women. In our network of eco-friendly housecleaning cooperatives, women develop personal and professional skills, become leaders, and gain economic security.
WAGES uses a cooperative business model that allows women to pool their skills and work together to succeed. The workers make decisions democratically, and they distribute business profits equitably to all workers. As co-owners of successful businesses, women increase their incomes substantially and help their families move out of poverty.
Eco-Friendly Housecleaning
Since 1998, WAGES has focused on developing housecleaning cooperatives that use eco-friendly products and cleaning techniques. These businesses are economically viable, they support high quality jobs, and they protect the health of workers and their business clients.
Please contact the cooperatives directly to get information about eco-friendly cleaning services in your area (see links on the left).
