At the Addis International Early Childhood Conference 2026, our Co-Founder and Partner, Winnie Wambugu, moderated a panel discussion on Using Data to Inform a Social Movement for Change.
The session featured insights from Dr. Ibrahim Kabole on Zanzibar's multisectoral ECD programme, followed by reflections from Dr. Wiedaad Slemming, Mr. Hundie Tilahun Bogale, and Dr. Mbwarali Kame on experiences from South Africa, Ethiopia and Kenya.
This Madaraka Day, we celebrate the spirit of self-determination and the ongoing work of building a more inclusive, resilient and prosperous future for all.
Happy Madaraka Day.

From conversations on financing and governance to the role of data and implementation, the convening highlighted both the urgency and the opportunity of investing in young children and caregivers across Africa.
One of the biggest takeaways from the Addis International Early Childhood Conference 2026 was the growing commitment across the continent to strengthen early childhood systems through approaches that are coordinated, evidence-driven, government-led, and scalable.

We loved hearing your perspectives on Burnout, from across different fields, what we loved even more is that we all left Hearth Summit 2026 feeling nourished and aware that we have it in us the power to overcome and the agency to be part of collective solutions.
The values that shape how we lead and build often begin at home. This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the women shaping families, futures and lasting impact.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Raise your hand if this year has felt like the deep end. 🙋🏾♀️. You’re not alone. Sometimes hearing different perspectives reminds us there’s still light ahead.
Pause, Exhale, and build systems that protect your wellness.
Burnout can often make you helpless, so a pause is necessary.
Upon your return, you view your ecosystem with a fresh outlook… use this outlook to make it a better place for yourself and those around you so you and your teams are able to sustain your energy.

The answers are within us… it’s the small practices that include in our daily lives that help us show up revitalized.
When’s the last time you indulged in a hobby just for the sake of it?

Wellness is a team sport. When we push for collective wellbeing, we show up as the best versions of ourselves for the team.
And on days when you don’t feel your best, Dr. Tshiko reminds us that it’s okay and important to seek help.

In a fast-moving world, taking a break can feel like falling behind. But as @daktari1 shared at the Hearth Summit, pausing to reflect helps you return renewed, recharged, and ready to create impact.
#HearthSummitNairobi#WellnessRedefined#Renewal
A few weeks ago, we paused to reflect at Hearth Summit, acknowledging the crises shaping our world and their impact on our collective wellbeing.
The summit may be over, but burnout remains. How are you creating moments of calm in your daily life?
#HearthSummitNairobi#Renewal
Continuing our #InternationalWomensDay reflections, women from our team share how care, responsibility, and resilience shape their leadership, and why stronger systems are needed to support women and girls at every stage of life.
