Serving Expectant Mothers and Infants

MTOTO Early Childhood Program

mtoto /m‘tō tō / : Swahili for “baby”

WHO WE SERVE

For real change to take root in Kenya, we must target our resources at the earliest development of its most vulnerable citizens.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to empower mothers with the knowledge and resources to raise healthy babies and toddlers, who will one day grow into the leaders Kenya needs to thrive.

ONE-ON-ONE HOME VISITS

Our MTOTO program connects trained nurses with pregnant mothers, shepherding them through pregnancy, birth and infancy via routine home visits. Nurses provide valuable, one-on-one counsel about and resources for:

• Prenatal Care
• Infant Nutrition
• Childbirth
• Child Developmental Stages
• Breastfeeding
• Healthy Parenting

TWELVE-WEEK PARENTING COURSE

We also provide a 12-week training for new parents that covers key parenting issues in a community group setting. Finally, our home early reading program brings literacy training and age appropriate books to families.
