In January 2020, Victoria Watoto Fund opened a private, Christian primary school in the town of Mbita. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic quickly closed it down. We are happy to report that classes resumed in early January 2021, and we have a current enrollment of 86 students in grades Baby class through 4th grade.

Victoria Watoto Fund, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, desires to provide a living for people in the community and supplemental food for the nutrition program. Therefore, in the early summer of 2023, VWF built two greenhouses to not only supplement the food for the school, and provide an additional source of income, but also to train the children in agriculture. VWS school children learn important skills in how food can be produced through farming techniques like irrigation and composting.
The water tower shown here was built in order to store water specifically for the greenhouses. However, we discovered only too late that water from the municipal water system will not reach us, and we have not received enough rain to fill this barrel. So, we have been having lake water delivered every couple of days to keep our crops from drying out. Our next step is a more permanent solution. If you would like to help with this, or know of anyone who has experience in digging a well. Please contact us through our contact page.
