Project Description
The Action for Paid Childcare Sector Transformation project (ACT) is a 4-year project that uses an innovative systems approach to drive gender transformative, locally-owned, collaborative action to transform paid childcare from a job of last resort to a vocation of choice, and for the paid childcare sector to become one of economic prosperity for women in Kenya and in Malawi. ACT responds to recognition within the global policy agenda of a care crisis in which women are overrepresented within the largely informal paid care economy, where they face low pay, poor working conditions, limited social protection, and rights abuses – key barriers to their empowerment.

Partner Description

We bring together a diverse network of students, volunteers, schools, governments, and businesses who share this vision. Together, we foster youth-centred solutions for improved education, economic, and empowerment opportunities to overcome inequality and exclusion in over 15 countries around the world.
