Some parents from Ndora, Muganza and Kibilizi sectors in Gisagara District are proud of the mobile childcare system that has been put in place for their children, which has improved the well-being of the children and given them peace of mind in their daily work.
Those who spoke to Kibondo said that it helped them both in working and getting results, not forgetting the safety of their children and their proper growth.
These parents usually do the work of digging the terraces, cutting the weeds and taking care of the trees to be planted. In making a mobile home, a home is looked at near where the children's parents would be working in those days, and they approach the owner and ask her to take care of the children. At that time, supplies are brought including sleeping mats, blankets and kitchen utensils including pots, bowls and baking powder for the children.
Uwimana Delphine, who lives in Agasharu Village, Dahwe cell, is one of the beneficiaries of the program, as she has a one-year-old and four-month-old child.
He said, "We haven't seen the guardians yet, the child who was working with him in the sun was killing him, you would put him down and eat mud, he would often cry, and he would act restlessly."
"Where we find caregivers, our children take care of them, they make them laugh, they love them, they give them a hug. It's a wonderful thing to appreciate! Even if you don't stop breastfeeding, they will come to see you where you went to work and bring the baby and give him the breast.''
Each teacher in the school has three children to take care of, cook for them, and take care of them and nurse them.

She says that parents are happy because the children learn good manners and songs that help them grow mentally.
He said, "Like when a surprised mother comes to take her child, and sees how they are together, she is also happy because there are many little things that happen in the family."
The Deputy Mayor of Gisagara District in charge of social welfare, Dusabe Denise, told IGIHE that this project was achieved in collaboration with DUHAMIC ADRI, which aims to help the district to change the lives of the people, especially those with low income.
Dusabe added that the families moved due to the project's progress, helped the people and women to participate more in the work.
He said, “It's a good thing to raise awareness with other stakeholders, especially to help women with young children find jobs available around the country.
Another thing we are proud of is the ECD services that the children continue to receive because they are looking for caregivers, they are given a gift and other things that continue to help stimulate the children's brains.
Currently, this program includes 47 children, where they have 15 caregivers, which started in May 2024 and is appreciated for its role in supporting a rural woman.
