Ending an epidemic that has killed over 40,000 workers within the last decade.
The Worker Health and Efficiency (WE) Program is a collaborative initiative aimed at preventing the epidemic of chronic kidney disease of non-traditional causes among workers.
Led by La Isla Network, WE brings together the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), leading occupational health experts, policy-makers, universities and sugar producers to find and execute solutions to the problem of CKDu.
The WE Program provides the foundation for the Adelante Initiative, a multi-sectoral collaboration to improve workplace practices and ensure learnings from the WE Program are applied in the agricultural sector and beyond.
