| No one educates anyone, and nobody is self educated; all of us learn from each other, mediated by the world we live in." Paulo Freire |
The Worker's Health Project was born through the years of work with Day Laborers and Domestic or Household Workers. We learned about the health and unhealthy habits and practices of our constituents and the extremely harsh and exploitative conditions in which they work. Day laborers and Domestic workers lack health insurance, decent housing, and transportation and in an effort to satisfy their needs this project was born. As we tried to respond to their needs we began conducting a series of health diagnosis in the worker centers and day laborer corners. The questions we asked the workers were simple: 1) what were their main concerns related to health and, 2) which one was the most important. With this information we began shaping our educational component and started many of our valuable partnerships with other community organizations, clinics, And SOCAL- OSHA among others.
