Early Childhood Development
Across Kenya, too many children suffer from malnutrition and early mortality.
Our program provides new mothers with the support they need to nurture their newborns.
Many of the mothers are children themselves (15 & under) through no fault of their own.
In the safe community setting of the program, mothers connect, learn, and build their self-esteem.
Promoting Child Health and Nutrition
Our program targets local new mothers and educates them on key subjects like child nutrition, vaccination, and family planning.
Participants are also introduced to other programs at the centre where they can continue training and learn more about health, literacy, and safety.
The Annual Baby Welcoming Feast
New mothers & their children discuss child literacy & safety at the Baby Welcoming Feast.
Each year, we hold an Early Childhood Development Day for new mothers.
The event provides a space for mothers to meet with health professionals and seek much-needed advice. This opportunity helps many women develop a closer relationship with a doctor and let go of fears around the medical system.
We partner with government departments of education, health and security, as well as the police force and local early childhood educators.
