A Volunteer Health Promoter & the Informal Economy
Maximinia Nolasco (blue blouse) is making a supervisory visit to a volunteer health promoter. They are sitting in her yard beside her house.
Many of the health promoters have regular employment or are self-employed. This
health promoter has a business as a seamstress (note the sewing machine at the edge of the picture). These 'home businesses' form part of the informal economy that accounts for most of the economic activity in developing countries.
