Changing The Face of Domestic Workers In Kenya

SERVICES

Training: Short courses (2 – 3 one hour sessions) in topics such as:

Household Security – How to cope with accidents and emergencies.
First Aid – Coping with simple scrapes and bruises of children and elderly in a home.
Household Hygiene – Food and Kitchen cleanliness, Bathroom Cleanliness etc

Savings Schemes: We all need to save, but formal mechanisms for the still very informal domestic service sector scarcely exist. Possible savings methods include:

At the simplest level “Merry Go Rounds” between groups of 5-8 close-by workers.

Voluntary Savings and Loan Groups, cater for 20 – 30 and offer a longer solution.

Co-operative savings and Credit Societies (SACCOs).

Networks: A trusted network can provide short term replacements. A network can provide staff with tested skills and credentials that you can trust. Neighbourhood networks provide fora for training, for savings schemes, for organising small play groups for toddlers etc.

Services: For example remittance of NHIF, NSSF contributions, training by our various reputable training partners will be disbursed more effectively.

As a benefit to the larger society and the economy, CFO will also contribute positively by helping employers to be more productive at their various jobs due to the mental freedom that arise from the assurance that their employee are genuine, reliable, efficient and responsible.

The domestic workers’ contribution in the larger economy is huge and invaluable, a lot of the jobs being done by their employees could not be accomplished as well as they are now without the domestic workers support – so they really are part of the big national workers team, and we would like to work with them for everyone’s success – the ripple effect is almost magical, happy workers, happy families, happy society, productive office workers, better economy!
