Started in 1994, Watoto Child Care Ministries is a branch of the Watoto Church in Uganda that builds villages with schools, churches, medical centers, and homes and populates them with new families built from orphans and widows.
Other projects being undertaken by Watoto Child Care Ministries include baby homes, vocational training, and farms to support the villages.
[4] The Watoto Church also runs a program called Father's Heart which enlists male role models to work and play with the children.
Along with homes, these villages include schools, clinics, community centers, and churches.
Along with these programs, Watoto is stretching out into farming and technical education as a means of sustainability and as another layer to strengthen the students and the community.
