    Abstract
    Child kidnapping is common case, not only in Kenya but also all over the world. Infants are more vulnerable due to the fact that they are helpless and can easily be carried away without anyone noticing that something is amiss. Over time, different approaches have been developed to track children especially in public places. Many of these solutions involve GPS tracking but not many organizations and events involving gatherings of many children have been in a position to adopt such solutions. This is because they are expensive and do not integrate easily with other systems. The study seeks to come up with a solution to track babies within the workplace. It puts into consideration the “babies at work” policy, which has been adopted many companies including some in Kenya. The solution is based on RFID and basically combines active RFID tags with the existing wireless LAN. RFID has been greatly improved and the use of active RFID tags, which broadcast a signal to the access point, enables companies with an existing Internet connectivity to make use of their bandwidth without having to purchase RFID readers. The work is meant to provide a cheap and scalable solution that can traverse different scenarios, such as, public baby day-care centres, Churches and other social events. The proposed solution will be based on prototyping from the analysis phase to the implementation phase. The solution will then be tested to check on its reliability, performance and accuracy. The language to be used in development of the solution is PHP, Python, HTML, CSS, Javascript and MySQL database.
