Support Watoto

Watoto, Riwo Education Initiative

Watoto, which means ‘our children’ in Swahili, has been established in conjunction with the Edinburgh University Settlement to support the Riwo Youth Group, a grassroots, community based organisation working in Kisumu, Kenya. Watoto’s aim is to part fund the secondary school fees, with the remainder paid by the Riwo Community, for the children looked after by the Riwo ‘Orphans and Vulnerable Children Program’.
