WORK began by accompanying one family out of poverty in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and has grown into a global organization accompanying families working in the informal recycling economy across 7 countries, and transforming recycled material supply chains so they work equitably for the people who power them.
About WORK
WORK accompanies families in Haiti and beyond out of poverty through good, dignified jobs.
Last program year, WORK accompanied 1,230 family members in landfill and collection communities, and supported 74 micro and small businesses with investment and mentorship to improve performance and reach a living wage. Together, these efforts helped remove nearly 2 million pounds of plastic from the environment — turning waste into opportunity for the families who collect it.

Donations enable WORK to accompany families as they move toward financial independence — ensuring they can access essential needs such as housing, medical care, and education on their own.
