Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>\u201cChildcare is one less thing to worry about when I am inside that tunnel,\u201d says 39-year-old Thacienne Nakabonye, pointing at the marked entrance of a Wolfram quarry on a hill overlooking a nearby steep valley.<\/p>\n

Nakabonye is one of the scores of miners who spend most of the daytime beneath the rolling hills of Burera District, trying to eke out a living. She is a casual worker with one of the companies subcontracted by Wolfram Mining and Processing Ltd in Gifurwe, a remote tungsten deposit in northern Rwanda.<\/p>\n

\u201cNowadays when I am inside there my heart is at peace, all my focus is on extracting as much as I can get,\u201d she says, her lively two-year-old daughter playing with her peers close by. \u201cIn a good month you can even make up to Rwf100, 000.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her daughter is one of the 26 children who are attending an Early Childhood Development (ECD) centre owned by the Wolfram Mining and Processing Ltd. \u201cJust knowing that your child is safe and feeding well, that they\u2019re playing and have a place to sleep when they are tired gives you motivation to concentrate on your work.\u201d<\/p>\n

A caregiver helps a child to sleep at Early Childhood Development Centre at Gifurwe in Burera District.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yet, this was not always the case, she observes. \u201cIt was a different situation with my three older children. We didn\u2019t have this childcare centre and, therefore, you had to improvise, if there was no one to stay with your baby you\u2019d be forced to skip work and that meant zero earnings.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is one of the two ECD centres (the other one is run by New Bugarama Mining Company \u2013 also in Burera) which were officially launched last week in what is seen as a groundbreaking move in the country\u2019s mining sector.<\/p>\n

The inauguration of the centres, one with capacity of 75 children (Wolfram) and the other 60, was the result of combined efforts from different stakeholders, including the Rwanda Extractive Workers Union, UNICEF, the Rwandan government and mining companies.<\/p>\n

In both cases, those behind these childcare centres say they\u2019ll also take in children of other members of the surrounding communities who don\u2019t work with the mining companies.<\/p>\n

Caregivers help children to swing during break time.<\/b><\/p>\n

For MarieRose Mukanyandwi, from Nkoto village, Mucaca cell, Rugendabari Sector, the ECD at Gifurwe is more than just a safe place for little children aged 3 months to 3 years. \u201cThey give them a balanced diet and this keeps malnutrition at bay,\u201d says Mukanyandwi, who works as a clerk for one of the firms subcontracted by Wolfram.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never been happier in my 10 years working here,\u201d adds the mother of three, whose youngest child is attending the ECD centre. \u201cWe are not charged for bringing our children here, not even deductions from our salaries.\u201d Parents drop their children off as early as 6am and pick them up at 5p.m.<\/p>\n

The centre is divided into sections based on the age of the children, including three who are under one year of age. When we arrived at the site, three infants lay asleep on mattresses inside a spacious white tent emblazoned with UNICEF logo.<\/p>\n

Ideal learning environment<\/b><\/p>\n

At the other end of the compound there is a structured classroom block, with three rooms, labelled \u2018baby\u2019, \u2018middle\u2019 and \u2018top\u2019. In-between is another structure with two rooms, a kitchen and a storeroom. There are also decent bathrooms and toilets.<\/p>\n

Julianna Lindsey, the UNICEF Country Representative in Rwanda, engages a child at the newly launched ECD centre at Gifurwe in Burera District on March 18.<\/b><\/p>\n

Inside the classrooms, it\u2019s an ideal learning environment for little children. There are small chairs and tables, toys, elementary jigsaw puzzles, brightly-coloured charts, baby block letters and numbers, animal and basic shape drawings, among others.<\/p>\n

Outside, there are children’s play facilities and child-friendly open spaces. Some 50 metres away from the fenced compound lies a kraal with two adult Frisian cows and a calf. \u201cThat\u2019s where they get milk for the children,\u201d a security guard tells The New Times.<\/p>\n

Yvone Uwumuremyi, a community health worker who regularly screens the children at the centre, says none of the children at the Wolfram-run childcare facility suffers from stunting or malnutrition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI measure their weight and height every month,\u201d she says as she judiciously places one of them on a spring scale to measure his weight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an integrated childcare programme,\u201d Uwumuremyi says, citing social protection, education, play and nutrition among other benefits.<\/p>\n

Quality childhood development services have been credited with instigating seamless physical, linguistic, cognitive and socioemotional development. Globally, the mining sector generally suffers a bad reputation as it\u2019s been pinned on child labour, unsafe working conditions, violation of employee rights, community violence, among others.<\/p>\n

A strong business case<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the situation in Rwanda has not been that bad, the rollout of childcare services in the mining sector is going to make a huge difference,\u201d says Andr\u00e9 Mutsindashyaka, the secretary-general of Rwanda Extractive Industry Workers Union.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen constitute only 11 per cent of the workers in the mining sector and childcare has been one of the major factors undermining their participation,\u201d he said Thursday, March 24. \u201cEmployer-supported childcare services will definitely go a long way toward improving the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cEvidence has shown that income made by women directly benefits their families and, therefore, this is good for future generations as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope other mining companies will follow suit,\u201d he said, adding that the union will also be involved in assessing the performance of such centres.<\/p>\n

Yet, employer-supported childcare does not only benefit employees and their children and family but employers as well, says Rajat Madhok, Chief of Communication, Advocacy and Partnerships at UNICEF Rwanda, citing a business case on the matter published in October last year.<\/p>\n

The business case was the result of a study into the concept and performance of employer-supported childcare in Rwanda, with a focus on the tea sector.<\/p>\n

Backed by UNICEF, UK Aid and the National Agriculture Export Board (NAEB), the study found that employer-supported childcare services \u201cgo far beyond a corporate social responsibility optics endeavour to making a seminal difference in a company\u2019s bottom line\u201d.<\/p>\n

Underscoring that employer-supported childcare had led to increased productivity of women tea pluckers in recent years, the report says the initiative contributed to increased Mata and Rutsiro (tea companies)\u2019s revenues by US$ 9,326 and US$34,081, respectively, in 2019.<\/p>\n

In addition, the impact of access to early childcare services or lack thereof can last a lifetime, experts say. According to UNICEF, access to good-quality care and education programmes outside the home \u201care important in providing children with the basic cognitive and language skills they need to flourish in school.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UN agency avers that \u201coptimal brain development requires a stimulating environment, adequate nutrients and social interaction with attentive caregivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unsafe conditions, negative interactions and lack of educational opportunities during the early years (0-8) can lead to irreversible outcomes, which can affect a child\u2019s potential for the remainder of their life, it notes.<\/p>\n

Yvonne Uwumuremyi, a community health worker, shares health tips with some of the women who have children at the centre.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2018An exciting new chapter\u2019<\/p>\n

Some studies have also shown that the human brain forms new connections at an astounding rate between the ages of zero to three years \u2013 at more than one million every second, a pace never repeated in life again, according to Harvard University\u2019s Centre on the Developing Child.<\/p>\n

By age 5, 90 per cent of the brain is fully formed, before many children have ever set foot in formal school, one study shows. And, for a child in a low- or middle-income country, quality early development can boost their income by a full 25 per cent, the equivalent of moving up an entire social class, according to UNICEF.<\/p>\n

Yet, figures have shown that as many as 250 million children aged 0-5 years in low-income and middle-income countries are at risk of not reaching their developmental potential as a result of lack of quality early childcare.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf children are not supported in these critical formative years, they are unlikely to become fully productive adults,\u201d the agency warns.<\/p>\n

Yvonne Uwumuremyi, a community health worker, weighs an infant at the centre.<\/b><\/p>\n

For Rwanda\u2019s mining sector, the recent developments represent \u201can exciting new chapter,\u201d according to Amb. Yamina Karitanyi, the chief executive, Rwanda Mines, Petroleum and Gas Board.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something we are celebrating,\u201d she said, referring to last week\u2019s milestone. \u201cThe more you care for your employees the higher the return.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cIt\u2019s an exciting moment\u2026if we continue to work together as a sector, by taking good care of workers, protecting the environment and embracing standards, we\u2019ll go far together.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a message that resonates with Nakabonye and her colleagues who each morning \u2018disappear\u2019 into the hillside tunnels of Gifurwe in search of livelihoods.<\/p>\n

For the mother-of-four, the ECD centre presents her an opportunity to work harder for her family. \u201cMy colleagues and I have no excuse for not working our socks off because our little children are now in safe hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
