BABY WATOTO PHOTO ALBUM 2016

BABY WATOTO

Tucked away on the slopes of Watoto’s Suubi village, outside Kampala, Baby Watoto Suubi enjoys the serenity of a vast landscape and views of lush green hills and valleys.

This is our largest Baby Watoto facility, with a capacity to care for 120 babies at any given time.

The home was opened in February 2010 and primarily cares for older infants, easing their transition to a permanent home in the Watoto village.

Baby Watoto Gulu was opened in June 2010 as a response to the overwhelming need in northern Uganda, a region recovering from over two decades of civil war.

As a result of mounting poverty and broken families, there has been an increase in child abandonment, especially by teenage mothers who cannot care for their newborns.

Baby Watoto Gulu has the capacity to care for over 60 babies.
