Kidogo
Half of Kenyan kids miss out on safe, quality, affordable childcare—and the foundational skills it builds. Many, though, are already looked after by informal home-based providers.

The Mission
Thriving kids in Kenya.
How It Works
Kidogo knows existing informal providers are the untapped solution – so they train them to meet aquality standards, improve their spaces, and run a solid business that will benefit way more kids aged 0-5.
The Dream
High-quality daycare for every kid in Kenya who needs it, delivered via government-regulated and government-subsidized small businesses.
Why We're In
Kidogo currently serves 50,000 kids, and they have the potential to spur a new Kenyan childcare industry. However, good-enough care still costs more than parents can pay, and scale will require government subsidies. They need to streamline the model a bit more—and get better impact evidence—but they have the momentum to help government create the necessary policy and regulatory environment for scale.
