Today, we’re standing with the incredible care workers who nurture, heal, and support us every day. Let’s give them the fair wages, safe conditions, and respect they deserve. #InternationalDayofCareandSupport #TimeToCare #MakeCareCount #RightToCare

Access to quality care services isn’t just a privilege—it’s a right. This #InternationalDayofCareandSupport, we’re calling on governments to prioritize and invest in care infrastructure, from daycare centers to elder care facilities. An inclusive, equitable future depends on accessible care for all. Care is a shared responsibility. It’s #TimeToCare for everyone. #MakeCareCount #RightToCare

Care isn’t “just women’s work”—it’s a responsibility for all. Breaking down harmful gender norms not only supports families but strengthens entire communities. When men and women share care roles, we build a fairer and more balanced society. This #InternationalDayofCareandSupport, let’s champion gender equality in care work. #TimeToCare #MakeCareCount #RightToCare

Today, we’re celebrating the value of care work in all its forms and calling for greater recognition, support, and equity. Together, we’re creating a world where care is visible, valued, and shared. Stay tuned for highlights from today’s event! #RightToCare #TimeToCare #MakeCareCount

Care workers are the heart of our society—nurturing children, supporting the elderly, and providing essential services. Yet, they often face low wages, limited protections, and unsafe conditions. This #InternationalDayofCareandSupport, we stand in solidarity with care workers everywhere. It’s time for fair wages, social protections, and safe conditions. Let’s uplift those who care for us! #TimeToCare #MakeCareCount

Did you know? Women shoulder 76% of the world’s unpaid care work, often sacrificing opportunities for education, paid work, and self-care. This #InternationalDayofCareandSupport, let’s recognize and redistribute care responsibilities for a fairer, more inclusive world. Care work deserves visibility, value, and shared responsibility. It’s #TimeToCare and #MakeCareCount #RightToCare

Strengthening the future of care through powerful linkages! In Nakuru, Mombasa, and Nairobi, our brokering sessions united care workers, employers, KUDHEIHA, private sector partners, and CSOs to create transformative connections within the care economy. From amplifying youth voices and promoting equitable policies in Nakuru to highlighting collaboration and community impact in Mombasa, and forging strategic partnerships in Nairobi—these sessions underscore the collective power needed to advance gender equality and improve care infrastructure for women and girls in Kenya. Together, we’re redefining care, advocating for equity, and ensuring every voice is heard. Now more than ever, it’s #TimeToCare and #MakeCareCount!
