Crèche for flourishing minds

The crèche at Aviv coffee plantation is hoping to make tremendous changes to the community. During peak season, Aviv employs a little over 1,000 casual workers on the plantation overseeing an array of tasks. The majority of these workers are women from the neighbouring villages working in the nursery, weeding the fields, harvesting coffee and tending to pulped coffee in parchment. The children are provided with nourishment and a vibrant stimulating environment for them to flourish while their parents are at work. The crèche also includes a learning room with books and craft materials for at the children’s disposal, a playground outside to create a balanced and safe environment to nurture the young minds.
