What we do
We are differ from other organisations as we offer you a direct communication and personal relation with the child. This gives you more control of how your money is being spent. We also keep you inform of child progress and all expenses occurred on a regular basis.
Africa Watoto works with street kids of Mombasa rescued by Grandsons of Abraham Centre. We act for the street boys to seek education for them. We believe that every child has a right to quality education.
While the boys finish their primary education at the Centre, they have nowhere to go. They are mainly orphans and coming from extremely poor families.
Education system in Kenya is not free. That is why we are looking for sponsors to give the boys a chance to continue the education and go to secondary boarding schools.
Our main aim is to provide the high school education for the boys. We are volunteering to do it so there is no administrative cost.
