Kwa Watoto would not be anywhere if it were not for the many well-wishers who look upon us with much needed donations. Below are brief profiles on some of our supporters;
Alliance for youth Achievement – USA sponsors 60 children from 2006.
Harambee Board Germany – Led by Christian Rauhut and Claus Tempelman now is our largest sponsoring organization on individual children which has 240 in primary and 80 in high school.
This group now officially registered in Germany has
over 200 sponsors working with it to help pay school
fees, occasionally help families of children, buy children
uniforms, clothing, buy the school text books, desks,
lab equipment and generally help out in any matters
arising.

Centorfarfarlle – Italy: Chaired
by Daniel Castellazo, this group financed the new St.
Matthew building from buying land, developing, to completion
at 99,000 USD and has plans to refurbish Kwa Watoto
Centre. Thanks to this association we managed to have
an exchange programme with Italian schools.
A little about the exchange Programme
In April – August 2004 we were able to take a sick
child to Verona hospital for a left leg operation, she
now walks normally.
Next on the exchange are 3 children and two teachers
to visit Italian schools in April 2006.
Centorfarfarlle has a sponsorship programme for our
kids, we have 20 children on the programme so far.
