ABOUT MAMA ALINAH MARUMO
Ikimiseng Crèche and Pre-school
In 1989, Mama Alinah Marumo decided to stand up and be the change she wanted in her community. Her desire to alleviate the socio-economic circumstance of her community led her to start Ikemiseng Crèche and Pre-school, and she now looks after 120 children aged 0 to 6 years. But Mama Alinah’s commitment to education does not end there. She noticed the need for job creation in her area and rolled up her sleeves to assist her community. She provides skills training to members of her community in an effort to help them uplift themselves. She created vegetable gardens and taught the community about it too so that they can become self-reliant. Mama Alinah prides herself on the expansion of her income-generating projects including a bakery which sells products to the community. She also hands out bread to needy households on a weekly basis. Her sewing project provides members with access and training to create sellable items and thus minimise the unemployment rate.
