Abstract: Abstract At SEWA, we strongly believe that "Work is a healer". In the current pandemic situation, when the majority of informal workers livelihoods have come to a screeching halt, it is important to focus on rehabilitating the livelihoods of workers, building their resilience, promoting the local decentralized economies, organizing workers into their own economic enterprises, repurposing the supply chains of worker-owned microenterprises and hand-holding workers to adopt and adapt new technologies. At SEWA, we call this Building Economy of Nurturance.
