Kwa-Mama Day Care Centre
Caring For Our Community
About Us
Kwa.mama care centre began as an empty room in which to wash children once a month back in 2009. Now, five years later, Kwa.mama care centre runs a free pre-school with more than 200 registered little ones, a soup kitchen that feeds besides their own children, approximately 50 old and ill people and in October 2013, Kwa.mama care centre started an international volunteer program.
Kwa.mama is a non-profit organisation and completely depends on donations and volunteers. The permanent working members are people from the local township called Shakashead. They are unemployed and therefore Kwa.mama has created daily purpose in their lives. The permanent working members do not get paid with money, but get rewarded with tokens that are redeemed in the Token Shop. This shop is filled with any and every crumb Kwa.mama volunteers are able to catch and collect. Even tough the members are not ever offered a wage, Kwa.mama needs financial assistance to cover dry food, gas and many other necessary consumables.
The pre school started in 2010 and has about 200 registered children between the age of two to six. They learn how to play, share and be together without being made to feel different. Considering the fact that speaking and understanding English will highly improve the chances of our babies future, Kwa.mama would love to invite English speaking volunteers from all over the world. As most of their working members are not literate, this is a great opportunity to expose the children and permanent members to English on a daily basis.
