WATOTO N E I G H B O U R H O O D In 2020, we continued to embrace vulnerable women in our neighbourhoods with the love of Jesus. While last year brought uncertainty and loss for many of us across the globe, here in Uganda and South Sudan, due to restrictions and lockdowns, the livelihoods of many of our Watoto Neighbourhood mothers were greatly impacted. So, we worked to find ways to help make sure they had the means to pay their rent, feed their children and earn an income. We provided much needed COVID-19 relief support, food baskets for 904 families during the holidays, startup capital and financial business boosts, along with masks and hand soap to help keep these amazing women and their families safe and healthy.

MOTHERS RECEIVED COVID-19 RELIEF PACKAGES As their small businesses were shut down, some of our mothers were desperate and unable to make ends meet. So, we helped fill in the gap, providing food, rent and medical relief to 522 of our mothers.

SMALL BUSINESSES GOT A FINANCIAL BOOST During the lockdown, the businesses of many of our Neighbourhood mothers suffered, so we gave 227 women a financial boost to help them keep their businesses afloat.
