WHO WE ARE
DOWAFA, Domestic Workers and Family Justice Alliance, came into existence in 2008 as a faith based organization, World Harvestime Ministries, but directors saw the need for interdenominational approach and after seeing the suffering of the voiceless domestic workers we went ahead to register an entity which is non-partisan, non-religious DOWAFA with a mission to promote family justice and defend, protect and advocate for the rights of domestic workers through strengthening dignity and fairness for millions of domestic workers .
