Estas soluciones funcionan, pero las personas trabajadoras no deberían tener que costearlas en soledad. Los gobiernos deben incluir a las personas trabajadoras en domicilio en la protección social y las políticas climáticas, y ratificar el Convenio 177 de la OIT.

...asegurar el suministro de agua para sus familias, sus huertos y su trabajo. En Machakos, los grupos de trabajadoras y trabajadores ahora presionan al gobierno del condado para que amplíe la infraestructura hídrica.

🇰🇪 En Kitui, Kenia, la sequía supone la falta de agua para las familias, los huertos y el trabajo. Por eso, las trabajadoras en domicilio de HomeNet Kenya formaron grupos y cavaron pozos profundos comunitarios, utilizando paneles solares para bombear agua subterránea y así...

After these talks, the ministry announced subsidies of 30–60% on clean energy and energy-saving equipment in December 2024. These solutions work, but workers should not have to pay for them alone.

But home-based workers are not waiting to be rescued. 🇺🇬 In Uganda, home-based workers had no direct line to government, so they built one. Their network, Ngalo Buwereza, joined forces with a trade union to bring their climate concerns to the Ministry of Environment.

🎉 Today we honour the workers who keep producing through floods, storms and record heat. They did the least to cause the climate crisis, yet they pay the highest price. When your home is your workplace, a flood takes your stock, your tools and your income at once.

Now they are asking the government to help pay for it. These solutions work, but workers should not have to pay for them alone. Governments must include home-based workers in social protection and climate policy, and ratify ILO Convention 177.

But home-based workers are not waiting to be rescued. 🇮🇳 In Ahmedabad, @SEWAComm piloted a heat insurance scheme that covered 250,000 members in 2025. When temperatures pass an agreed limit, it pays out for lost work, and members can borrow the premium from SEWA's own bank.

On International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we call on governments to listen to the workers who live this reality every day. Ending poverty means fair pay, social protection and the right to organise for every worker, wherever they work.

The @ILO estimates there are around 260 million home-based workers worldwide, and for many of them poverty comes from piece rates that don’t cover their costs, payments that arrive late or never, and no social protection when orders dry up or illness strikes.
