Watoto is a holistic care program that was initiated as a response to the overwhelming number of orphaned children and vulnerable women in Uganda. It is positioned to rescue individuals, raise each one as a leader in their chosen sphere of life so that they in turn will rebuild their nation.

The Watoto model involves physical care, medical intervention including HIV/AIDS treatment, education - formal and technical, trauma counselling and spiritual discipleship. 

We exist to raise the next generation of African leaders, by pursuing excellence in academic and practical skills, integrity in conduct and moral values, so that each one becomes a responsible and a productive citizen.

We aim to replicate the model in other countries across the continent so as to fast-track the rescue of orphaned children and vulnerable women in Africa.

The ministry has also been extended to reach out to vulnerable women as well as the war-affected community in Northern Uganda including the many child soldiers who were forced to become weapons of war. Since 1994 the Watoto Children's Choir, founded by Gary and Marilyn Skinner, have travelled all around the world as advocates for the children of Africa. Their lively singing inspires audiences as they witness first hand the hope and joy the children have found in Jesus Christ.
