Watoto

Watoto is a family made of people from all over the world who are working together to ensure that the forgotten have a place to belong.

In 1984, during a time of civil war, we planted a local church in Kampala, Uganda to speak hope and life to the nation. Since then, we’ve rescued orphaned and abandoned children, placing them in loving families. And we’ve come alongside vulnerable women, equipping them with skills and empowering them to be the mothers and leaders God has called them to be.

To help our hurting neighbours, we also expanded our reach into South Sudan—embracing our sisters and brothers with the love of Jesus, and helping meet their most critical needs.

AT THE HEART OF THE WATOTO CHILDREN’S CHOIR IS A MESSAGE OF GOD’S UNFAILING LOVE
It’s what each of our kids has experienced in their own lives—He places abandoned and forgotten children in families full of love.

When people see our children from Uganda, with their hearts healed and their dreams restored, they can’t help but realize that this same God cares for them, too.

OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS, MORE THAN 100 CHOIRS HAVE BEEN SENT AROUND THE WORLD
During that time, our choirs have met Her Majesty the Queen, performed for the President of the United States and visited almost every major parliament in the world.

Yet, as remarkable as those moments have been, we cherish the times we’ve met ordinary people in their moment of pain and been able to see firsthand how Jesus heals.
