Recently, I was part of Kenyatta University vice chancellor’s delegation to Tharaka Nithi County where he met Governor Muthomi Njuki to discuss the partnership between the university and the county government. The partnership will see Kenyatta University Women’s Economic Empowerment (KU-WEE) Hub conduct research to evaluate the effectiveness of the crèche programme initiated at the Chuka market to enable women traders to accomplish the role of childcare and income-generating activities.
In partnership with the Economic Growth Centre-Yale University, the study aims to establish crèches with children’s feeding rooms and mothers’ lactating rooms, and evaluate the effects of the programme on child development, women’s labour force participation and psychosocial well-being of children and mothers.
