Workers’ Mutual Aid Fund

A Workers’ Mutual Aid Fund is a collective resource created by and for workers to provide financial support during times of need, such as illness, injury, or unemployment. Fund members contribute regularly, building a pool of resources that can be accessed by fellow members facing hardship. It operates on principles of solidarity and mutual support, aiming to supplement or replace traditional insurance, often with fewer restrictions. This approach fosters community resilience and ensures workers have a safety net, especially in contexts where formal social services may be limited or inadequate.
