Retired teacher Francien van de Moosdijk runs childcare in Kenya at age 78
Francien van de Moosdijk, a 78-year-old former preschool teacher from the Netherlands, and her partner Arnold Mauer, 84, have established a childcare center called Yaya in Ukunda, Kenya. Founded in 2024 to help their friend June find employment, the facility cares for twenty children for seventy cents daily. The couple renovated a basic structure with running water and toilets, offering flexible hours that also provide housing for staff. They hope to secure a permanent building and financial independence by April when their current lease expires.
