Real impact stories from mothers, children, and communities we've supported in creating child-friendly cities.
Gikomba Market Trader
From Struggling Mother to Thriving Entrepreneur
"Before Wowmom's daycare center opened at Gikomba Market, I had to choose between taking care of my 2-year-old daughter and growing my clothing business. I would often lose customers because I had to attend to my child during busy hours."
Now, I can focus on my business knowing my daughter is in safe hands just a few meters away. My monthly income has increased by 60%, and I've been able to expand my stall and hire an assistant.
Impact Achieved:
- 60% increase in monthly income
- Business expansion and job creation
- Peace of mind for quality childcare
- Improved work-life balance
Community Transformation
A Market Becomes a Community Hub
"The introduction of our daycare center at Mwariro Market has transformed not just individual lives, but the entire market ecosystem. What was once just a trading space has become a thriving community hub where families feel supported and children are valued."
Market committee chairman John Kimani notes: "The daycare has brought a new energy to our market. We see more women traders staying longer, customers appreciate the family-friendly environment, and children's laughter fills the air."
Community Benefits:
- 40+ children receiving quality care daily
- Increased market foot traffic
- Stronger community bonds
- Enhanced market reputation
Young Mother
Dignity Restored Through Simple Infrastructure
"I remember the embarrassment of having to change my baby's diaper in public spaces with no proper facilities. Sometimes I had to use the floor of a public toilet, which felt unsafe and undignified."
When Wowmom installed the baby changing station at our local bus terminal, it felt like someone finally understood what mothers go through. Now I can travel with confidence, knowing there are clean, safe facilities available.
Impact Achieved:
- Restored dignity in public spaces
- Increased mobility and independence
- Better hygiene for her child
- Reduced anxiety about public outings
Training Program Graduate
From Knowledge to Empowerment
"I joined Wowmom's women empowerment training program feeling overwhelmed as a new mother trying to balance childcare and my small business. The training on child nutrition, business management, and financial literacy was exactly what I needed."
Six months later, I've improved my child's nutrition, streamlined my business operations, and even started a savings group with other mothers from the program. The knowledge gave me confidence to dream bigger.
Impact Achieved:
- Improved child nutrition and health
- Better business management skills
- Started a community savings group
- Increased confidence and leadership
