Go to safe supportBuilt for the people who keep the world running
Cleaners make homes, hospitals, hotels, schools, streets, offices, and transit systems work. Cleaner.ngo is building the research, trusted support, and collective infrastructure their work deserves.
No public case submissions. No worker stories without consent.

Cleaner.ngoSkilled work. Essential work. Global work.
Start with your role
The right next step depends on who you are. We keep public information useful while sensitive support stays with verified worker-side partners.
Understand the project, see safer help steps, and know what not to share on a public website.
Go to safe supportBring trusted local knowledge, worker-led organizations, and a safe referral path to the network.
See the partner roleAdd research, legal, safety, translation, design, or technical capacity without accessing worker identities.
Find a contribution laneThe operating model
Cleaner.ngo starts with evidence and trust. Support expands only when governance, consent, and local partner capacity are ready.
Map cleaner groups, employment chains, risks, rights, and the questions that still require fieldwork.
Listen before buildingConnect worker organizations, legal clinics, safety experts, translators, researchers, and builders.
Trust before scaleRoute help through verified partners for wages, safety, injury, migration, harassment, and emergency needs.
Consent before routingTurn anonymized patterns into better standards, procurement, enforcement, and organizing leverage.
Review before publishingSee the whole system
Pay, safety, schedules, and retaliation can be controlled by different actors. Effective support traces responsibility instead of placing the burden on one worker.
Cleaner.ngo maps where decisions are made, where responsibility disappears, and where workers can gain leverage.
One global project, many forms of cleaning work
Safe support
Cleaner.ngo is not accepting public case reports yet. Until a verified local pathway is ready, do not post names, employer details, immigration status, health records, wage documents, photos, or allegations here.
Keep identifying details off public websites, social posts, and open chats.
Prefer a union, worker center, legal clinic, trusted organizer, or established local rights group.
Ask who can see your information, how long it is kept, and whether you can withdraw consent.
What is collected · why it is needed · who can see it · whether it is shared · how to withdraw · when it is deleted.
Build with gates
The first pilot should map two cleaner groups end to end before any broad support launch.
Worker and partner interviews in workers’ languages.
Employment chains, risks, rights, and trusted capacity.
Worker-side review of findings and privacy rules.
One narrow support lane with accountable partners.
The network
Contributors begin with low-risk work. Sensitive access is never the reward for volunteering.
Set priorities, consent boundaries, and the definition of useful support.
Map sectors and power chains; separate evidence from assumptions.
Validate support lanes and local referral standards.
Make the project usable across language, literacy, and local context.
Build accessible tools with privacy and low bandwidth in mind.
Resource the work without shifting attention away from worker outcomes.
