We Can Do It! Women's Cooperative (Si Se Puede! in Spanish) was founded in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, in August, 2006, to bring together immigrant women to create a women-run, women-owned, eco-friendly housecleaning business. The cooperative is designed to create living wage jobs that will be done in a safe and healthy environment, as well as to providesocial supports and educational opportunities for our members.

When you hire a member of We Can Do It! to clean your home, 100% of the fee goes to the member who does the work. In contrast, when you hire someone through most other agencies, the agency takes a large percentage of the fee.

We have 20 founding members, all of whom have completed 10 weeks of training. Most are immigrants from Mexico and the Dominican Republic, and all members have an equal vote in decisions regarding policy and operations. In addition, members work together to promote the business and meet bi-weekly for on-going training and support.
