chairman’s message This year has been one of planning and implementation of revised strategies to move Watoto Child Care Ministries in Australia forward within a changing economic and statutory environment which is providing increasing challenges to our mission role in supporting the work of Watoto in Africa. Our CEO, Luke Willey, and his dedicated team are to be congratulated on setting the foundations for future growth and for the positive results and outcomes already being achieved. Further strategic change will also be reflected at Board level when proposed additional Directors are brought forward for appointment. These changes will add further depth of experience and a larger geographic footprint to the Board and the organization as a whole. Continued incremental changes are necessary if we in Australia are to provide sustained meaningful support to the growth of Watoto in Uganda, South Sudan and beyond. I would encourage you to read this annual report and to regularly visit our web site, www.watoto.com, so that you can stay up to date with the ever growing success story that is Watoto. We acknowledge that God is at the centre of the ministry of Watoto and I would also seek your prayers for the many children and vulnerable women whose lives are being saved and changed on a daily basis. I am reminded of the quote by Rev Fred Rogers, which says “Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me�. My fellow Directors and I extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to our staff, sponsors, donors, members and supporters who are indeed heroes to us. For The Children

CEO’S message It has been my privilege and pleasure to lead the team here at Watoto Child Care Ministries Australia over the last 12 months. Our committed Australian community has supported us throughout this year with sponsorship, donations, merchandise sales and visitors to Watoto again continuing to grow – thank you. There have been some great achievements this year. The Beautiful Africa concert that has been on tour since April 2012 has a new, dynamic and fresh feel and to see the way we are developing our performances to bear witness to Jesus’ love for each and every one of us is very exciting. It has been encouraging to see people’s lives changed through the stories and songs of the children and adults on stage. In the coming 12 months Watoto Child Care Ministries Australia will continue to form relationships with key corporate partners. Relationships that will see not only the business world made aware of the work of Watoto, but see Watoto grow in the ways we can reach the most vulnerable women and children in the nations of Africa. Our inaugural Watoto Gala Dinner & Concert will be held in September 2012, where we will have the opportunity to showcase the work of Watoto to invited guests. With the launch of Watoto church in Juba, South Sudan, I believe that each Australian has a part to play in reaching out to the communities of the world’s youngest country. War, disease & famine have crippled these people for many years and we have the opportunity to really make an impact. It brings me great pleasure to present to you Watoto Child Care Ministries Australia’s annual report for the period 2011/12. It is my passion to strive to maintain a high standard of transparency, integrity and professionalism within our Australian Watoto office. I trust you will enjoy reading what has been accomplished over the last 12 months. Blessings,

Luke Willey CEO Australia & New Zealand 5 watoto child care ministries Australia Annual report 2011/12

the watoto story

I

n 1988, in a town called Rakai, I was confronted by a naked reality that I could not ignore.

Eight years earlier, my family and I had moved to Uganda – a country famous for violence and poverty. In Kampala, Uganda’s battered capital, we planted a church that we believed God would use to restore hope to the city and the nation. Uganda’s people had endured so much. Corrupt and oppressive rulers had waged ruthless wars against the people, and when they were done with their slaughter, nearly one million were left dead. I was taken to visit a 79-year-old widow. She had mothered seven children. As we walked through banana groves behind her small hut, she began to point out the graves of her husband and six of her children. AIDS had killed all. Her last surviving child – a daughter – was dying of the same disease. I was reminded of the verse in James 1:27 that says, “Religion that GOD the Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphan and the widow in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” My visit with this woman in a simple Ugandan village stirred me to the core of my being and became one of the defining moments of my life. In the last year, Watoto Child Care Ministries Australia has played an instrumental part in the growth of Watoto in Uganda. Our J210 & J329 village projects are continuing to have significant intakes of the most vulnerable children & our J416 Living Hope project is impacting the lives of many HIV+ women. Thank you for your support. Gary Skinner Founder of Watoto

AID & DEVELOPMENT

W

atoto Child Care Ministries project funds of AU$2,758,469 were received through the Watoto Australia Trust Account with AU$2, 876,167 sent to Global Development Group for transfer to Uganda.

These funds were spent across the projects listed in the following table. It should be noted that some funds received through the Australian Trust Account may or may not be forwarded to Uganda in the same financial year that it has been

received, as the funds are only sent when required and can be utilized for the reason they have been received. Due to legislative process requirements, some major donors now give direct through Global Development Group (GDG) for Watoto Uganda. We want to thank these donors for their ongoing support.

orphanage. They become part of a family unit for life in the Watoto community. A sponsored individual has multiple sponsors in order to provide the holistic care that is required to equip them for success in life. The sponsorship of a Watoto child, house mother, teacher, Baby Watoto or Living Hope helps to meet the recurring costs.

Baby Watoto Sponsorship

Baby Watoto is a home for abandoned and vulnerable babies. Tiny preemies to toddlers, found on rubbish heaps, in trash cans or abandoned in hospitals and police stations, are brought to their new home where they find acceptance and unconditional love. When these babies are old enough to enter a Watoto children’s village, they continue their journey to become Africa’s next generation of leaders. There are currently two babies’ homes in Kampala and one in Gulu.

Mother’s Sponsorship

Watoto children’s villages are a haven of security, peace, education, purpose and spiritual vitality. Children between the ages of 2 and 12 are accepted into the villages, where they are cared for by a house mother, and live with 7 other siblings. They attend school and receive a quality education. A community centre for school assemblies, community functions and church services is also a part of the village. A clinic is established to provide adequate health care. These funds are to sponsor the House Mothers.

Living Hope is restoring dignity to vulnerable women through spiritual discipleship, improved quality of life, medical intervention including HIV/AIDS care, empowerment and income generating projects through microfinance loans. These funds are to support the Living Hope program.

Building Funds

You can visit Africa and experience the work of Watoto firsthand. Visitors to Uganda are welcome and appreciated. You can get involved by helping to build infrastructure in a village, serve as part of a medical team or participate in a ministry team. Each person, church, group or organisation raises the funds for the project they choose to participate in. Short and long term volunteer opportunities are also available.

Undesignated

Watoto’s partners contribute to infrastructure, future development or investing in the lives of the individuals who are accepted into the Watoto family. Donate in kind from the needs list on our website or make a one-off donation in cash. There’s also an opportunity to support fundraising events, fundraise on behalf of Watoto or give a non-cash gift through the Watoto Leadership Foundation.

Goat Farm

At Watoto, it is critical to generate self-sustainability for continuing development. The Goat Farm is one project where goats are farmed for milk to be used in the Watoto Babies Homes. It is planned for this project to become fully self-sustainable by selling excess milk and surplus goats to the community.

Project Gulu

In 2007, Watoto expanded its programme to northern Uganda in response to the cry of the former child soldier and greater community in this region who bore the brunt of a senseless civil war. Working alongside the local government, community and other stakeholders on the ground, Watoto has been actively involved in making northern Uganda livable again.

Self Sustainability - other

CHOIR UPDATE CHOIR 56 On the 1st of April, 21 fresh faced Watoto Children and 10 Ugandan Choir adults arrived in Brisbane to begin their six month tour sharing their story with Australia and New Zealand. The brand new tour entitled Beautiful Africa: A New Generation kicked off at Easterfest, the largest Christian Music Festival in the Southern Hemisphere, with thousands witnessing this inspiring performance over the 3 day festival. The choir then travelled out to rural Queensland, to some places we have never been before, sharing their message of hope and love to towns that were devastated by recent floods. Not only do we aim through the tour, to raise awareness of the plight of orphans and widows but we at Watoto believe the message shared by the choir truly transforms lives and it’s so exciting to see and hear of God reaching out to people attending each performance. In Townsville we had 40 people respond to the call to follow or rededicate their life to Christ. We are in awe of how powerfully God uses these children and adults

Choir 56 in Sydney

to spread his Gospel to our nation that is crying out for him. The team then spent a month in New Zealand working with our partners TEAR Fund to share this exciting new production with the North Island. We are always so blessed by our lovely New Zealand neighbours during this time and this year was nothing short of amazing. We were able to raise much needed funds and awareness towards the work of Watoto & we are thrilled to say that we raised over 250 new TEAR Fund sponsorships.

20 watoto child care ministries Australia Annual report 2011/12

This year we have focused on visiting new places and towns to help spread this message further in Australia. This goal has been met with having over 50% of the tour booked in new venues and towns. We have had a tremendous response to the performance so far, some saying it is the best choir tour they have ever seen and we are excited with anticipation to see what God will do during the next half of tour.


choir strategy

I

n the coming years Watoto Australia will continue to be strategic in implementing processes that will improve the viability of the choirs traveling throughout Australia. In 2013 we will be partnering with our Asia office, based in

Hong Kong, for the tour. Choir 61 will spend 4 months here in Australia & 3 months in a number of Asian countries. We will not be travelling to New Zealand in 2013. Goals we endeavor to achieve with each tour are as follows. •

To continue to communicate & raise awareness among Australian communities that are yet to hear of the work of Watoto.

To increase the number of people that attend the Watoto concerts by 20% each year.

To reduce the cost of tour by planning routes strategically.

To better understand the needs of churches as they reach their local communities.

To increase our community awareness by promoting and having a publicity plan for the Australian tour.

Endeavour to have 3 separate tours planned to have the opportunity to promote concerts proactively for future years.

Be in key cities for specific events (eg. Hillsong, Easterfest)

To have 6 major media coverage events in 2013

To increase media coverage each year.

These goals will continually improve the professionalism & accountability of Watoto Australia and of the choirs that tour here.

THANK YOU BUS DRIVERS To all our drivers this year, we would like to say a big Thank You for supporting us with your gifts & talents. Our tour can only run smoothly when we have the right people at the wheels. Thank you for keeping us safe, caring for us, getting us to our destinations, being patient & keeping our bus looking great. We love and appreciate all you have done – Uncle Don, BaBa Nico (NZ), Graham & Joanne, Bob & Dawn, Jan, Rodney, Andrew & Dan. We would also like to thank our friends at Cross Country Tours for continuing to care for our bus, keeping it compliant

MEDIA UPDATE

- RUTH MITCHELL

T

he year 2011/2012 has seen Watoto gain some key exposure in the media. One of the highlights was when the Watoto Children’s Choir had the opportunity to sing on the Weekend Sunrise programme on Channel 7.

They were asked to sing on Sunday’s programme, which is the top rated Sunrise show and the choir amazed the producers and presenters. They said it was, “one of the best performances they had seen on Sunrise in a long time” and are excited to have us back in the future. Northern Uganda was also in the spotlight due to the exposure the Kony 2012 documentary. Stuart Robert, a Watoto Australia board member & representative for Australia on the international board, wrote an article with “The Punch” that highlighted the incredible work Watoto is doing in northern Uganda that became the most read and commented opinion piece in the country. The mX magazine also interviewed Luke and published a quote from him on the front page of their magazine, which reaches approximately 700,000 people across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Triple M also used Luke’s comments for a news grab reminding people that there are many ways to support those in northern Uganda, through our Watoto programs. The Watoto Children’s Choir had a fantastic interview with Vision FM, which was aired nationwide on over 500 relay stations. It was also aired 2 months later on “History makers” which is not only played on their 500 relay stations, but on almost every Christian radio station across Australia. We have made some great connections with the media this past year and, with almost 100 separate media articles published or aired, we have started to build relationships that will benefit us in future years.

lobal Development Group (GDG) and Watoto Australia continue to

partner together to see the three projects in Uganda thrive and continue

to make an impact on the local Ugandan community. The three GDG projects are – •

Watoto Children’s Village & Babies home project. Project J210

Watoto Children’s Village Gulu. Project J329

Living Hope Development Program. Project J416

All work in these projects are monitored by GDG staff and reporting is done by Janet Ayo who works for GDG in the Kampala office. Projects mentioned seek to have maximum impact on the surrounding communities by employing local staff who are being mentored, trained, skilled and empowered by other local staff and international visitors. In the last 12 months we have seen an increase in intake numbers of children in our J210 Children’s village project. Many of these vulnerable children continue to be rescued from all walks of despair and destitution. This includes many babies introduced into the care of our Babies homes where they are given medical care & respite so that they too can graduate into our villages.

Build Teams from Australia

A

ustralian and New Zealand churches, schools, corporate and community groups continue to support Watoto. In the 2011/2012 financial year 15 teams consisting of 258 people travelled to Uganda and built many vital and much

needed projects. These projects included houses, classrooms, apartments, student dormitories, teacher’s accommodation, general maintenance requirements, and one team commenced a Rain Harvesting Project. That team is returning to Uganda to

complete the project in the current financial year and provide ‘on the job training’ to Watoto staff so that they can continue this programme in other areas of Watoto Villages and eventually turn it into a ‘self-sustainability’ project.

One of the build teams haVE provided the following testimony. “Everyone on our team enjoyed the trip and all have indicated they want to return. We were all impacted by seeing the widespread poverty and the challenge to live a life that frees us to continue to give into the nations. •

The joy and love of the Ugandan people and their God-focused life. Our host and bus driver were fantastic and we had a lot of fun...many laughs and much teasing.

The vision of Watoto and the way it is so well run was inspirational.

The team have all come back with a desire to see the same “mission focus” in their everyday life and have the same trust and dependency on God in Perth, as we did in Uganda. We saw many breakthroughs in people’s lives as we set time aside every evening for a debrief and “prayer chair” We have all returned with a “bigger picture” of God’s world and His kingdom.

visit watoto individual volunteers

T

here has been an awesome increase in the numbers of individual volunteers from Australia & New Zealand in this financial year.

Twenty-six wonderful individuals travelled to Uganda and volunteered for a minimum of one month with Watoto, working and serving alongside the Watoto Team, in areas such as Baby Watoto / Living Hope / Watoto Church / Children’s Villages / Medical Clinics / office and administrative areas.

SARAH’S STORY My name is Sarah and I have the privilege of caring for some of Uganda’s most vulnerable infants and children. As the Nurse Coordinator of Baby Watoto, I oversee the medical care given by our nurses and allied staff in all three Baby Watoto facilities. I work alongside our Ugandan nurses, encouraging them and assisting them in improving their skills through formal and informal training sessions. I also work closely with other local and international medical professionals to ensure that our babies are getting the best possible holistic care. Whilst the work can be challenging, I love what I do and I am so blessed by seeing the amazing transformations that God brings about in His beautiful babies!

visit watoto NATHAN & MELISSA’S STORY We are currently experiencing the journey of a life time here in Uganda. I don’t think anything can really prepare you for the real deal, but after being here for 3.5 months we are glad to say that we feel like honorary Ugandans. Nathan and I are 27 years old and from Adelaide SA. We are based at Suubi village and will remain here until the end of our 7 months. Nathan works in a number of roles both coaching soccer and teaching instrumental lessons. I have been working as a social worker for the babies’ home, running trainings in Gulu and Suubi around behaviour management and responding to the problem of sexualized behaviour in children. On Sundays we both help run the worship and lessons through children’s church. God is continuing to stretch us and teach us more about His ways. We certainly are growing in patience and learning to appreciate the simple things when you have them (like power and running water). We love the babies and the young people we support and ultimately we love being able to learn from, care for and encourage others. Sometimes it hits us that “wow, we are in Africa right now!” We know that this is where God wants us to be. Nathan & Melissa

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

The Watoto Australia Group SCOPE REPORT

on the Financial Report

We have audited the attached financial report of The Watoto Australia Group, being a Special Purpose Financial Report which comprises the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 as set out on the accompanying pages. DIRECTORS’

Responsibility for the Financial Report

The group’s directors are responsible for the financial report and have determined that the accounting policies used and described in Note 1 to the financial report and the accounting disclosures contained therein are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The directors’ responsibility also includes establishing and maintaining internal control(s) relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. AUDITOR’S

Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. No opinion is expressed as to whether the accounting policies used, as described in Note 1, are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. The financial report has been prepared for distribution to members of the entity and the for the purpose of fulfilling the directors’ financial reporting. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report or on the financial report to which it relates to any person other than the members or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

REPORT

Limitation to Scope As is common for organisations of this type, it is not practicable to cost effectively audit the system of internal control over cash receipts of donations, subscriptions or other fund raising activities. Accordingly, our audit tests over receipts were limited to amounts already recorded in the books and records of the entity. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Independence In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements. AUDITOR’S OPINION In our opinion, the financial report of The Watoto Australia Group for the year ended 30 June 2012 is in accordance with the constitution, including i.

giving a true and fair view of the group's financial position as at 30 June 2012 and of its performance for the year ended on that date in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1; and

ii.

present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the entity’s financial position and the results of its operations; and

iii.

complying with Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in Note 1.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.
