Plan International – Increase income levels of young mothers in Nairobi slums

Mothers Unite, a cooperative led by young mothers, which ensures better quality and a more stable work environment for informal domestic services, such as childcare, cleaning and washing clothes. Three important elements belong to this concept: a referral system to vet clients and service providers, a daycare model to organize reliable and affordable childcare, and group saving with a more modest daily amount. Which allows the groups to self-organize and gather clients in their own community. The aim is that women can form a group with others that they already know and trust. This also gives space to start a trustworthy group saving project, with an affordable daily income.
