Goals
​FUTURE GOALS

​​

My immediate goal with WatotoWorld, Inc. is to continue raising funds for the children.  As it stands, our donors and I pay for the majority of all needs: infrastructure, food, clothing, Matron's wages,  doctor visits, school supplies, uniforms, clothing, shoes and occasional school fees.  Without these basic needs, these children would fail to thrive.

​

Consequently, we have a vested interest in each child, and a commitment to ensure that each one is provided with the tools necessary for survival.

​

The Community Center is operational with monthly medical clinics and quarterly specialty clinics with our partners on the ground.  In addition to the clinics, WWC is developing life skills programs ie agricultural, technological, and educational programs for the benefit of all children and adults in our community.

 

There is a critical need for orphanages in this area, particularly homes that can provide the basic human needs, enveloped in love and security.  There are over two million orphans in Kenya. WatotoWorld wishes to take in additional children as space allows.  Over the past eight years, the hard work and subsequent accomplishments have given us the necessary experience, tools and drive to move forward. 

​​

With your continued help, we can ensure this continued success and work towards building a new community in order to provide a brighter future for these children and others in the Kajiado District.
