Suru Care Centres

refer to Day Care facilities set up or secured in partnership with pre-existing daycare facilities to afford children of student mothers alternative care options.

These centres aim to free up student mothers to commit a significant portion of their time to learn. These daycare facilities offer their services to student mothers at a subsidised cost.

Suru Care centres also serve as one of the organisation’s sustainability approaches by offering daycare services to non-student mothers at a cost.

Therefore, this program seeks to empower learners to take ownership and responsibility for their academic journeys by taking key steps and measures to shun conduct that may deter this pursuit. Suru Mentorship also empowers student mothers to give back to their communities by speaking to their experiences and challenging other students to focus on their academic pursuits.

Najinusuru, therefore, seeks to answer the question:
