Accelerating quality, affordable, childcare for all

Making quality childcare accessible and affordable to all requires significant changes to the way things are done by governments and communities. We bring together different actors of the childcare ecosystem to improve how they work.

This includes improving knowledge sharing, coordination, skilling, policies, and resource mobilization. By working together, Uthabiti gives young children the best start in life by accelerating investments in childcare ecosystems across Africa,  advancing gender-transformative change that prioritises the needs of childcare workers. Our work currently focuses on Kenya, Malawi and Ghana with the intention of expanding to other African countries
