SEWA Sangini Cooperative: Providing Child Care for Women Informal Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic in India

By on July 02, 2022

The SEWA Sangini Cooperative provides child-care services for SEWA members – all women workers in informal employment – through 11 centres across Ahmedabad, India. This case study documents how the cooperative responded to COVID-19 through community outreach and adapted child-care services to support workers and the children in their households. Central to the cooperative's immediate and effective response is the decision-making power invested in child-care workers who sit on the board of the cooperative and their strong ties with the community and SEWA.
