Our Nutrition and Education Programs

In March of 2020, the Kenyan government, like governments all over the world, put a moratorium on public meetings, including those of churches. The weekly church meeting is the primary way in which we feed children in the community. However, when it became clear that we could no longer host meals, we purchased a motorbike and began delivering cereal grains to needy families. These families look forward to the weekly deliveries of food, and it is our desire to keep doing this until the weekly feeding program can resume.

Children in Mbita Point often go days without anything to eat, and thus suffer from malnutrition and disease at the worst, and struggle with paying attention and not falling asleep in school at the very least. Since August 2019, Victoria Watoto Fund has been feeding up to 120 children one hot, nutritious meal per week. A local church provides the kitchen and the manpower. Your funds provide the meals consisting of a starch like maize, proteins like mung beans or fish, and vegetables. These products are purchased locally, and therefore invested in the local economy.
