Bright Babies of Toonda Daycare

A loving, safe place for our youngest, so their parents can keep building a better future.

Our Story

Bright Babies of Toonda Daycare began as a self-organized community effort. Brenda Kakyo, a local single mother of two, saw how much our village needed an affordable and safe place for children to stay while their parents work. She gathered other parents, and together they decided to make it happen.

Since September 2026, our doors have been open and Brenda Akiiki has cared for our 10 babies every day. Thanks to a generous donation, the daycare has swings, toys and mats already, and the children have a warm, happy space to play and grow, away from aggression and violence.

Toonda supports the initiative by providing infrastructure, space and the first donations, while the community builds and manages the daycare together.

Why It Matters

For many single mothers in our village, reliable childcare is the difference between holding on to a job and losing it. When babies are safe and cared for, mothers can show up at work with peace of mind, earn an income and look for better opportunities.

The daycare is open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4 pm and is located in our library.

Help Us Keep the Doors Open

We want to support the daycare for a full year so mothers can be dependable at their workplaces. Part of this is providing small scholarships so that every one of our 10 babies has food during the day.

€15 a month feeds one baby for the whole month.
Feeding all 10 babies for a month costs €150, and for a full year, €1,800.

Growing Healthy Meals

We are also planting a daycare garden. Fresh fruits and vegetables will add variety and nutrition to the babies’ meals and let us rotate what we serve.
