The Project
The First Lady's Office identified a need for crèches in
several Greater Accra markets due to the absence of
such facilities. A prototype was created for easy
replication across these markets. These crèches,
designed as compre- hensive daycare centers,
provide care for the children of market women while
they work. The goal was to develop a design that could
be easily deployed and duplicated, using sustain- able
materials like compressed earth bricks that are
readily available locally. So far, four crèches have
been constructed: one in Takoradi, one in Koforidua,
and two in Accra.
