About Us

Uthabiti Africa is a pan-African organisation dedicated to making childcare accessible, affordable, and high-quality. We strengthen childcare systems by working with governments, NGOs, businesses, funders, and childcare workers. 

Since our founding, we have championed the idea that childcare is not merely a social service—it is an economic infrastructure that unlocks potential for children and women. 

 

An Africa where every child has access to quality, affordable childcare and where childcare workers and entrepreneurs thrive.
