Watoto Foundation Tanzania
Watoto is Swahili for "Children". A unique project, in a country with high unemployment. This foundation, founded in 2003 by the Dutchman Noud van Hout, is dedicated to helping street children in Tanzania. The children receive education, learn a trade and are assured of a paid job after completing their four-year education.

Sponsor us, and watch our help come to life!
The Watoto Foundation is largely dependent on sponsors for its teaching programme. Fortunately, in recent years there have been many people who have supported the foundation. Many creative ideas ensured that the plans could actually be implemented.
