S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y We’re feeding a lot of hungry mouths. With three busy villages, full of families, we know it’s important to work towards self-sustainability. Our Watoto farms provide fresh vegetables and eggs for our villages, and goats milk for Baby Watoto. By producing wholesome food for our mothers and children, we’re reducing our expenses on food and healthcare. More importantly, we’re giving our families the nutrition they need to grow up healthy and strong. Our farms also provide learning and employment opportunities for our young adults and local farmers in our communities. Last year, in partnership with experts from the College of the Ozarks and the University of Arkansas, we began developing a fully integrated agribusiness located outside Gulu, northern Uganda. This will serve the dual-purpose of producing food for our Watoto mothers and children, as well as providing technical training and experience for Watoto graduates. With this project we strive to raise leaders in Uganda’s agricultural sector. Wherever we operate, our goal is to empower individuals and facilitate community transformation. We’re grateful to every partner who continues to come alongside us as we develop a bright, sustainable future for our children.
