Capacity building of workers to improve their health awareness and take charge of their well-being
Capacity building of workers to improve their health awareness and take charge of their well-being
Increase in the willingness to use menstrual pads
decrease in absenteeism caused by diseases related to poor hygiene
Factory and farm workers face various health and hygiene challenges, including poor working conditions, limited access to healthcare, malnutrition, lack of sanitation facilities, occupational hazards, and limited health education.
Therefore, to address these challenges, interventions such as education and training programs, improved working conditions, access to healthcare services, and better sanitation facilities are needed.
Investing in programs that focus on Health and hygiene for factory and farm workers can have several benefits, both for the workers themselves and for the companies that employ them, because almost 20% of female factory workers reported that their menstrual cycle affected their work productivity. Here are some of the key benefits:
Practicing good hygiene and maintaining good health can also lead to increased self-esteem and confidence in one’s ability to perform their job and interact with others.
Better health and hygiene practices for low-income factory workers can boost their confidence to seek preventive care and disease testing.
Workers are more aware about benefits of critical topics such as good diet, personal and menstrual hygiene, family planning, maternal health, mental health and more.
Workers are empowered to take control of their own health and well-being and are provided with the resources and support they need to live healthier, happier lives.

Stories from workers
“Prior to my participation in the program, I wasn’t aware of the importance of maintaining proper hygiene and sanitation practices, but the training taught me the necessary skills and knowledge to take care of myself better. I learned about the importance of washing my hands regularly, keeping my surroundings clean, and maintaining proper personal hygiene. The training also covered reproductive health and family planning, which helped me make informed decisions about my health and future.”
-Sunita, Worker, Hard goods factory, India
Stories from Management
” We have noticed a significant decrease in the number of sick days taken by our female workers since the implementation of the program, which is a testament to its effectiveness. Creating a clean and hygienic work environment has led to fewer workplace injuries and illnesses, which ultimately resulted in lower medical expenses and workers’ compensation claims. Workers appreciated the effort and investment we made in their health and well-being, leading to increased employee satisfaction and morale. This, in turn, translated into a more engaged and motivated workforce, leading to an overall positive impact on the factory’s success.”
