Help us with our final Fundraising push to raise the last £700/£2750 to renovate the pools at baby Watoto in Uganda. These vital renovations will support the baby and toddlers of Watoto regain movement and build strength after coming from devastating circumstances. All money raised will go directly to Watoto to fix the existing baby pools. So far we have raised over £2000 with our Christmas Party and Lake Victoria but need this final push to allow the works to go ahead. We have had the Watoto choir use our pool a few times now and have been amazed by their courage and inspired by their storys. As WGSA turns 3 we thought a balloon race would be the perfect way to try and reach our target!

Here is a bit more information about Watoto themselves -

Watoto has placed thousands of orphans in families, empowered vulnerable women to provide for their families, rescued babies and former child soldiers, and sent children’s choirs across six continents. As we work alongside the most vulnerable in our society, our aim is to rescue individuals and raise each one as a leader in their sphere of life so that, in turn, they will rebuild the nation.

Our fundraising target is: £700

Gross monies raised so far: £177

Supporters so far: 32
