Program areas at Watoto Child Care Ministry

Sponsor a life program - through the sponsorship of babies, children, and vulnerable women, the organization provides financial support to Watoto. Watoto provides holistic Care to those in need in uganda. The holistic model involves physical Care, medical intervention including hiv/aids treatment, education - both formal and technical, trauma counseling, and spiritual discipleship. So far, over 1,000 children rescued by the organization have now reached adulthood and have graduated the program with the life skills and education they need to be independent. Program graduates include professionals such as teachers, doctors, lawyers, farmers, and engineers, among others. Watoto is continuing to raise transformational leaders, who will positively impact every sphere of society, reforming uganda and serving as a model for the rest of africa.
Visit Watoto - people from all over the world visit Watoto in uganda. From caring for babies to working with the sustainability projects, there are a variety of mission trips' groups, and individuals that can serve Watoto. The two main types of teams are construction and medical teams. Construction teams include groups of people often from churches, that travel to africa to provide practical help in the children's villages. This includes building homes, classrooms, or other vital structures in the villages. Medical teams include groups of medical professionals that go to africa and offer their medical expertise to treat the babies, children, and women and provide training to the medical personnel on staff.
Watoto children's choir - the Watoto children's choir has traveled extensively since 1994, sharing a message of hope for africa's most vulnerable children and women. On almost every day of the year, the choir is performing somewhere in the world. That means thousands of people get to meet some of uganda's future leaders. The choir serves many purposes. It raises awareness about the work of the Watoto globally. It also provides leadership training for the children, and provides a strong sense of responsibility while experiencing different cultures. Most importantly, it's a way they share their faith with people around the world about the plight of african orphans.
Watoto uganda programs- construction equipment, medical equipment, clothing, and other much needed supplies are sent to uganda via shipping containers to provide direct support to the programs on the ground. These programs include the Watoto village, Watoto neighborhood, Watoto sustainability project and future Watoto communications- through print communications, media production, and social media content, the organization strives to share the stories of the orphaned and those affected by the hiv/aids crisis in africa. With knowledge comes power. Partner church- churches that partner with Watoto become part of the program of restoring women to Care for themselves and their families, orphans welcomed into their families, and plots of land becoming sustainable farming communities.
