We address two key challenges faced by mothers in Ethiopia: the lack of accessible, affordable childcare and the struggle to achieve economic independence. Our mission is to alleviate these issues, empowering mothers and ensuring a brighter future for families in Ethiopia
Problems We Address
- Childcare Access: Quality childcare and postpartum care are not readily available or affordable.
- Unpaid Care Burden: Women bear the unfair burden of unpaid care, limiting their economic empowerment.
- Undervalued Care Work: Childcare providers and stay-at-home mothers are undervalued and undercompensated.
Our Solutions
- Wellness Memberships: Comprehensive care for mothers and children, including prenatal and delivery services.
- Community Centers: Spaces for childcare, healthcare, training, and networking to boost personal and professional growth.
- Daycares & Nannies: Training mothers as professional nannies and fulfilling childcare requests through an online portal.
