Together we build a future for (orphaned) children in Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana and Sierra Leone

Through education, shelter and medical care we give children living in dire circumstances a safe and loving future. With a good education they will one day be able to care for others too.

About our organisation

Our mission

Watoto Yatima Foundation supports (orphaned) children in Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana and Sierra Leone by providing education, shelter and medical care. We believe every child deserves a safe and loving future.

We focus especially on children in extremely difficult circumstances: children orphaned by AIDS, children from single-parent households living in deep poverty, and children who cannot afford school fees. With access to education, children can grow into strong young adults who will also be able to care for others and contribute to their communities.
