About Kidogo
Kidogo is a start-up social enterprise with a mission to improve access to high-quality, affordable Early Childhood Care & Education for low-income families in East Africa. Kidogo uses an innovative “Hub & Spoke” model that combines best-practice Early Childhood Hubs (owned & operated by Kidogo directly), with a social-franchising program that supports quality improvement & growth of local childcare micro-businesses run by "Mamapreneurs". Founded in 2014, Kidogo has grown to a staff of 33, serving over 1,000 families per day across 4 communities in Nairobi. Our goal is to be the largest network of high-quality, affordable childcare centres in East Africa by 2025 so that ultimately, every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
