Unpaid Care Work = KSh 2.54 Trillion yearly.
It’s time to value it.
In Kenya, women spend over 3 extra hours every day on unpaid care—cooking, cleaning, and looking after children—compared to men. This time poverty is the biggest barrier to women’s economic freedom.
At WAF-Kenya, we are changing the narrative.
We believe childcare is the missing infrastructure for opportunity. By establishing safe, affordable childcare hubs in low-income communities, we:
Unlock Time: Freeing women to learn, earn, and lead.
Equip Women: Providing training in market-driven skills.
Activate Dreams: Linking women to seed capital and markets to launch businesses.
When childcare is available, women rise and children thrive. Join us in making care work a force for progress.

Some days, our work starts on a bike 🚲—�muddy roads, long journeys, real conversations.
From that first visit, to setting up childcare, to learning new skills,�to building an income‑generating activity step by step.
This is the part you don’t always see.The journey from time poverty to possibility.Change doesn’t arrive overnight.�It’s built — carefully, consistently, together.
This is how we do the work at WAFKenya.

Every single day, childhoods are stolen - and futures are interrupted.
Let this sink in.
For thousands of girls and young women, vulnerability is not just a risk but a daily reality . When they lack comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) knowledge, economic independence, or a safe place to be, their risk of experiencing violence and exploitation rises. This should not be normal: As we mark the , we cannot stay silent because the fight to cannot be separated from the fight for economic agency.
This is a national crisis . Let's make protection non-negotiable by investing in solutions that build resilience, health, and economic independence of every woman and girl.

Day 2 of . The statistics says it all : 1.8 billion women and girls have no legal protection from digital violence. This gap is a deep threat to women’s economic agency .
When women entrepreneurs and advocates are driven offline because of harrasement and abuse , they are silenced , isolated and lose access to vital information and opportunities.
Let’s not just condemn the act ; let’s invest in the systems that give women the power to stay online , stay safe and stay in business. .

Meet Yvonne, a rising star from our vocational training group in electrical installation and wiring . After the passing of her father, Yvone experienced difficulty in surviving with her family stuck in small-scale farming and charcoal burning. The lack of reliable, sustained income made access to education and basic health needs-like menstrual materials, a daily struggle. Through the WAFKenya vocational track, she acquired skills in a high-demand trade. With these skills, she is currently working in a shop, earning some income to support herself with confidence, ready to upskill herself in the field.
When young women like Yvone have opportunities, they build lives of dignity, hope, and possibility.
