Our Impact and Learnings
NurtureFirst’s work started in Kenya, where a dedicated team has conducted a rigorous systems mapping exercise in Mombasa, Kisumu, and Murang’a counties. The team held site visits, interviews, and focus groups with parents and HBCC providers to understand the current context and key challenges. Based on these learnings, NurtureFirst established strategic partnerships with national and county governments, as well as local Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), to design and deliver learning interventions at scale.
NurtureFirst’s work started in Kenya, where we conducted a comprehensive mapping exercise in Mombasa, Kisumu, and Murang’a counties. We held site visits, interviews, and focus groups with Home-Based Childcare (HBCC) providers and parents to understand the current context and key challenges. 5,350 Providers caring for 21,784 children were reached, representing the first-ever mapping of this depth and scale to date.
Using this data, NurtureFirst worked closely with National and County governments, and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) to design scalable policy and program learning interventions aimed at improving outcomes for Providers and children.
Since 2024, we have been piloting learning interventions in Kenya, focused on improving quality, recognition and affordability.

With local CBOs and governments, we are piloting 8 learning interventions across 3 Kenyan counties which will inform scale strategies in Kenya and globally
| Pilot | Description | Country | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mombasa | Kisumu | Murang'a | ||
| Quality Improvement Roadmap | Develop HBBC quality indicators and identify a non-punitive, needs-based, improvement road map (integrating access to trainings and other government / NGO services) | |||
| Provider Support Networks | Support HBCC Providers to form networks to increase representation and access to support services | |||
| HBBC Provider Recognition | Increase HBCC recognition and support by registering HBCC providers to country databases, outlining key information and where support is needed | |||
| Government Capacity Building | Shift government mindsets through workshops and trainings to ensure stronger understanding of the HBCC challenge and their role in supporting quality improvement | |||
| Kitchen Gardens | Set up kitchen gardens to support nutrition needs of the children in HBCCs, and work with the government to involve HBCC providers in their feeding programs | |||
| Elimu Fund | Increase funding/ in-king support from diverse funding streams, including public reserves (eg, investment cases, develop pipeline of funding, budget allocations) | |||
| Family Strengthening | Strengthen families' abillity to provide nurturing care to their children via community groups, trainings on parenting and choosing childcare, and mental health support | |||
| VSLAs to Hire Providers | Leverage existing Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA); use pooled savings from VSLAs to pay HBCC providers from their community | |||
The learning interventions were launched in 2024, and endline evaluations are planned to be completed in 2026.
The learning interventions began in October 2023 and will run until December 2025. Learnings from these interventions will then be replicated in other counties in Kenya, as well as other countries around the world.
