THE IMPACT YOU’RE MAKING
We’re so grateful for your support and proud of all we accomplished together in the last year.
WATOTO CHURCH
At Watoto Church, we meet collectively every weekend with over 35,000 people at 13 different locations across Uganda and South Sudan.
In everything we do, we celebrate Christ and care for community.
DANIEL DAVID’S RESCUE
Everyone deserves a family—thank you for helping us welcome kids like Daniel David into ours.
In 2014, Daniel David was abandoned. Working with child welfare services, we welcomed him into the loving arms of our nannies and staff at Baby Watoto.
Today, Daniel David is a bright, smiley seven-year-old who’s the light of his mom’s life and brings sunshine to their entire home.

MEET NANNY MARY & CHLOE
Every baby needs the love of a mother, and we’re grateful to Nanny Mary who provides that for our little ones. She’s been part of the Watoto family for ten years as one of our incredible nannies.
MEET GEOFFREY
Geoffrey is one of our gifted players who was recently scouted by the Uganda National League Champions and is now part of their youth soccer team.
MEET LIAM
Rescued as a newborn, Liam was welcomed into a loving family at Watoto. Recently, Liam traveled to the USA as part of the Watoto Children’s Choir.
MEET MISHEL
Mishel loves that she gets to go to school at Watoto. She had to drop out of school when she was younger because her mother didn’t have the money to pay for her tuition.
MEET LUCY
Lucy’s wants nothing more than to provide a good life for her kids. After the tragic death of her husband, Lucy struggled to make ends meet. Thankfully a neighbour introduced her to Watoto.
MEET LUCY & SOLANGE
Lucy and Solange, two of the girls we’ve come alongside in South Sudan, have faced tremendous loss and hardship in their young lives. Both lost their parents, which left them feeling unloved and questioning if their lives mattered.
MEET BRENDA
Brenda is the manager at Lubbe Farm, where we grow vegetables and fruit for our mothers and children.
