About MamaPlus
A training organisation for people who care for children
We teach practical skills in child development, safety, and nurturing care. Inclusion and women’s economic opportunity remain part of the story; training and skills come first.
Our story
MamaPlus started with a simple observation: the people who care for young children—mothers, childcare workers, domestic helpers—often have the heart for the work, but not enough access to professional training.
We saw mothers in Busia looking for trusted guidance, domestic workers in Kakuma unable to access training, placement agencies searching for skilled candidates, and women with disabilities excluded from digital learning.
Today MamaPlus is a training organisation first. We teach, certify, and support caregivers—and that training is what families, centres, and partners rely on when they look for quality care.
Our mission
To train caregivers, parents, and centre teams with the skills, credentials, and support they need to provide safe, nurturing care for children—while opening dignified pathways for women in the care economy.
Our vision
A Kenya where every child is cared for by someone who has been trained to do the job well—regardless of location, education level, or background.
Our values
