Abstract

Fish markets in most parts of the developing world, including Nigeria, are unhygienic and difficult places for small children accompanying their fish-vending mothers. In almost no market are there any facilities to cater to the needs of the children of market women. It is in this context that the Edo State Women’s Association (ESWA) came up with an idea to build a market traders’ day nursery.
