sanjay,
if you initiate n help the workers in forming a cooperative/ forum/ union and outsouce work to that body to prevent exploitation of wqorkers then it is a Capacity building/ poverty allveiation program too n can figure in amongst CSR too.
in the reverse side, the workers on their own too form groups and work can be outsourced to them..
ETI for homeworkers lays stress on such an exercise only.. in garment trade we have plenty of poor/ destitute women enagaged in embroidery work at home.. the work reaches them via the hands of scores of contractors..
so ETI wanst the principla employers to map the entire value chain so that end workers can be identified and their conditions improved.
we encourage workers to come to a common place like a panachayat bhavan at a village and do their work there.
ETI also taks about multi stakeholder initative
for eg we wish to provide medical insurance to unorgansiaed sector..
all players in the value chain incl the end worker pay their share and it is quite small apporx 200/- per annum even cheaper than ESI..
next you can encourage them to form a "Bank/ Micro credit facility" too
keep us updated so that all can learn,
surya
