CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Last year I spoke of revised strategies and incremental change moving Watoto Child
Care Ministries forward in Australia. This year we have seen some of the benefits of
these continuing strategic improvements.
We have seen substantial Australian involvement on the ground in Uganda in the
farming and sustainability areas as well as growth in the level of our sponsorships which
are vital to the ongoing support of the vulnerable women and children.
More and more people are investing their time, effort and resources in what they see
as a committed and successful answer to the issues affecting the most needy and
downtrodden in Africa.
It was my privilege to visit Uganda again at the end of 2012 leading a wonderful team
of 29 Gold Coasters aged from 16 to 70 to build two homes in Watoto’s Laminadera
Village outside Gulu, Northern Uganda. Whilst six of us had been on build teams before
it was our first time in Gulu and it was amazing to see the growth of the village and
school in the relatively short time Watoto has been in Gulu. Watoto Babies Home and
Watoto Church, which are in the heart of Gulu town, are like oases of peace and light in
an area that for so long suffered war and darkness under Joseph Kony and the LRA.
The team enjoyed a truly life changing experience and saw first hand the equally life
changing work being done by Watoto. They are now even more committed to invest
further by supporting children or babies and in some cases to return and work at
Watoto.
This story is not unique. It has been repeated over and over with teams from all over
the world. Of course, not everyone can visit Uganda but you can take confidence from
those who have, that your support of the ministry is well spent and at its core is an
investment in a life that might otherwise be lost.
There is always something new happening in Watoto, so again this year I encourage
you to visit the web site www.watoto.com regularly to keep up to date and on behalf of
the Board I extend our thanks and gratitude to our staff, sponsors, donors and all who
support the work of Watoto.
For The Children,
Peter HarrisBoard Chair

Luke WilleyCEO Australia & New Zealand
Hi there,
The year has rolled around again and it brings me great pleasure in bringing our Annual
Report for the 2012/13 financial year to you.
As I look back on the last 12 months I am reminded of how Watoto is continually making
a difference by supporting the most vulnerable in Africa.
I see the work we do as an investment into the lives of those that we connect with
everyday in the desperate situations that they are in. I often compare it with that of
any financial decision in life. We always look for the investments that have a history
of a high return. We never invest into shares or markets that are showing vulnerability
or a loss . It’s the same with the charity or not-for-profit sector. We look for those
organisations that have had successes and positive outcomes in their past. But the
outcomes are more important than finances; they are lives, real people. Women &
children that haven’t chosen their situation but need opportunities to rise above them.
Over this year Watoto has seen amazing growth of over 16% in our sponsorship, great
investment opportunities in our sustainability & development projects & have touched
the lives of those in need more than ever before - something worth investing in!
We have seen some amazing opportunities and relationships formed here in Australia
this year with individuals, families & organisations who have partnered with us to help
continue our ministry.
I want to thank each of you for the contribution you have made. We strive to be
transparent, accountable & good stewards of the resources you have entrusted us with.
So grab a cup of tea, sit down and enjoy reading what we have been up to in the
following pages.
Blessings,
CEO’S MESSAGE

7 WATOTO CHILD CARE MINISTRIES AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
“IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD”- AFRICAN PROVERB
RESCUE RAISE REBUILD RESCUING CHILDREN RAISING LEADERS REBUILDING THE
THROUGHOUT AFRICA WITHIN AFRICA NATIONS OF AFRICA
OUR PURPOSE
Watoto is an HOLISTIC CARE programme that was initiated as a response to the overwhelming number of
orphaned CHILDREN and vulnerable WOMAN in Uganda. It is positioned to RESCUE an individual,
RAISE each one as a leader in their chosen sphere of life so that they will REBUILD their nation.
The Watoto model involves physical care, MEDICAL intervention including HIV/AIDS treatment,
EDUCATION – formal and technical, TRAUMA counselling and SPIRITUAL discipleship.
We exist to raise the next generation of African LEADERS, by pursuing excellence in academic and practical
skills, integrity in conduct and MORAL values, so that each one becomes a responsible Christian and a
PRODUCTIVE citizen.
We aim to care for 10,000 children in Uganda by 2023 and to replicate the model in other COUNTRIES across
the continent so as to fast-track the rescue of orphaned children and vulnerable women in AFRICA.
8 WATOTO CHILD CARE MINISTRIES AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
In 1988, in a town called Rakai, I was confronted by a naked reality that I could not
ignore.
Eight years earlier, my family and I had moved to Uganda – a country famous for
violence and poverty. In Kampala, Uganda’s battered capital, we planted a church that
we believed God would use to restore hope to the city and the nation.
Uganda’s people had endured so much. Corrupt and oppressive rulers had waged
ruthless wars against the people, and when they were done with their slaughter, nearly
one million were left dead.
I was taken to visit a 79-year-old widow. She had mothered seven children. As we
walked through banana groves behind her small hut, she began to point out the graves
of her husband and six of her children. AIDS had killed all.
Her last surviving child – a daughter – was dying of the same disease.
I was reminded of the verse in James 1:27 that says, “Religion that GOD the Father
accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphan and the widow in their
distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
My visit with this woman in a simple Ugandan village stirred me to the core of my being
and became one of the defining moments of my life.
In the last year, Watoto Child Care Ministries Australia has played an instrumental part
in the growth of Watoto in Uganda. Our J210 & J329 village projects are continuing to
have significant intakes of the most vulnerable children & our J416 Living Hope project
is impacting the lives of many HIV+ women.
Thank you for your support.

including the tours by Choir 56 from July

build teams and returning volunteers
and Visit Watoto teams/individuals, we
were able to grow each of these areas.

Watoto sponsorships grew 22.6%. We
sincerely thank our generous donors

needed to advocate for Watoto
within their spheres of influence.
We also have a number of
exciting sponsorship campaigns
launching throughout the year,
and look forward building new
and strengthening existing
relationships with churches,
schools and communities within
Watoto Australia’s reach.

to thank these partners & donors for their ongoing support.

Brief Description
Amount Spent
Percent
Child Sponsorship Watoto is strongly committed to placing children in a safe family environment rather than a large institutional orphanage. They become part of a family unit for life in the Watoto community. A sponsored individual has multiple sponsors in order to provide the holistic care that is required to equip them for success in life. The sponsorship of a Watoto child, house mother, teacher, Baby Watoto or Living Hope helps to meet the recurring costs.
$1,263,990 46.54%
Baby Watoto Sponsorship
Baby Watoto is a home for abandoned and vulnerable babies. Tiny preemies to toddlers, found on rubbish heaps, in trash cans or abandoned in hospitals and police stations, are brought to their new home where they find acceptance and unconditional love. When these babies are old enough to enter a Watoto children’s village, they continue their journey to become Africa’s next generation of leaders. There are currently two babies’ homes in Kampala and one in Gulu.
$189,223 6.96%
Mother’s Sponsorship Watoto children’s villages are a haven of security, peace, education, purpose and spiritual vitality. Children between the ages of 2 and 12 are accepted into the villages, where they are cared for by a house mother, and live with 7 other siblings. They attend school and receive a quality education. A community centre for school assemblies, community functions and church services is also a part of the village. A clinic is established to provide adequate health care. These funds are to sponsor the House Mothers.
$179,214 6.60%
Teacher’s Sponsorship These funds are to assist with the costs of school teacher’s in the villages by way of sponsorship.

Living Hope Sponsorship/Donations
The most marginalised and wounded people in Africa are women. Left abandoned or widowed, many of them HIV+ themselves, they are destitute and desperate, fearing that their children will soon become more of Africa’s orphans. Living Hope is restoring dignity to vulnerable women through spiritual discipleship, improved quality of life, medical intervention including HIV/AIDS care, empowerment and income generating projects through microfinance loans. These funds are to support the Living Hope program.
$344,004 12.67%
Building Funds You can visit Africa and experience the work of Watoto firsthand. Visitors to Uganda are welcome and appreciated. You can get involved by helping to build infrastructure in a village, serve as part of a medical team or participate in a ministry team. Each person, church, group or organisation raises the funds for the project they choose to participate in. Short and long term volunteer opportunities are also available.

Project Gulu In 2007, Watoto expanded its programme to northern Uganda in response to the cry of the former child soldier and greater community in this region who bore the brunt of a senseless civil war. Working alongside the local government, community and other stakeholders on the ground, Watoto has been actively involved in making northern Uganda livable again.

CHOIR 56 FINALÈ
The last 3 months of Choir 56 was
a complete whirlwind! The team
travelled through New South Wales,
Victoria and South Australia in the last 3
months before returning to Queensland to
finish the 2012 tour. We were completely
blessed by many who decided to invest
in the lives of the children and women in
Watoto by partnering with us through
sponsorship. Choir 56 were amazing
advocates for their brothers and sisters
back home as they shared their personal
journey from such desperate situations
to one of hope - displaying the power of
sponsorship and having someone believe
in you. They also had the amazing chance
of sharing the love and grace of our
loving God to many across Australia. The
message resounded to many individuals
who had the chance to see this inspiring
performance. Seeing lives transformed
through the power of the Gospel is
always a highlight for Watoto Child Care
Ministries. The Watoto Children’s Choir is
such a unique tool to share the love and
hope of Jesus to the world and we are
always so blown away by how God uses
these children as his missionaries to our
country.
Choir 56 wrapped up their 6 month
tour in early October. After 6 months
on the road the team were ready to
touch the red Ugandan soil and fill their
stomachs with delicious Ugandan food
that they had missed whilst on the road.
The team were welcomed home with
open arms and celebrated their many
successes at a lovely welcome home
party. Choir 56’s team leader Robert
Sendegeya was married a couple of
months after returning home which was
a huge celebration. The children have
returned back to their Watoto homes
and have begun life again in the villages.
These children will forever hold dear the
adventures they had during the once in a
lifetime 6month tour of Australia and the
many wonderful people they met along
the way. Thank you to all who made
this tour such a wonderful time for the
beautiful adults and children of Choir 56.

CHOIR 56
A different spark ignited the start of our
2013 tour with Mark Aikiriza coming
on board to lead this wonderful team.
There was much anticipation from both
adults and children when they arrived on
our shores with everyone excited to see
what God has in store for this 7 month
tour. Our 2013 tour is slightly different to
the usual tour with the team spending 4
months touring Australia and 3 months
in Asia. With the tour much shorter than
normal, we have had a lot of kilometres to
drive in in this short amount of time. Once
again, we have managed to fill the tour
with 50% of new venues which is helping
us to increase our outreach to many more
communities in Australia.
The team have visited South East
Queensland and New South Wales so far
with Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia
and Western Australia still on the cards.
Although this visit is short, the message
is still coming across loud and clear to
everyone who has the chance to hear……..
Jesus transforms lives! It is always such an
honour for our Watoto Children to share
about our loving God who rescued them
from despair. At the beginning of tour,
Innocent, one of the Choir 61 children,
stated the thing she was most looking
forward to on tour is telling anyone and
everyone about Jesus and how he’s
changed her life. These children are
missionaries in Australia and they know
God has brought them here for a purpose.
They take every opportunity they are given
to share his love, grace and hope and God
uses their willing hearts in such a mighty
way! The team have so far had the chance
to share their stories at family fun days and
Hillsong Church (both Brisbane & Sydney
campuses) along with visiting some iconic
Australian tourist spots including our
pristine beaches, the Blue Mountains and
the Questacon in Canberra.
We will be visiting Planetshakers Church,
Hillsong Church (Melbourne East Campus),
Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne and
many other communities in the following
months. Choir 61 have a busy couple of
months ahead! We are excited to see what
God continues to do through this team and
to hear the stories of lives transformed by
the powerful love of Jesus. This is the
message of Watoto and it is amazing just
to be a small part of God’s work through
this ministry.
CHOIR 61
23 WATOTO CHILD CARE MINISTRIES AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
Continuing to raise awareness in Australia through the choir is reliant on successful
tours each year. In 2014 the Watoto Children’s Choir will be with us for 5 months
throughout Australia & New Zealand, including performances in Central Australia from
Adelaide to Darwin.
Goals we endeavor to achieve with each tour are as follows.
• To continue to communicate & raise awareness among Australian communities
that are yet to hear of the work of Watoto.
• To increase the number of people that attend the Watoto concerts by 20%
each year.
• To reduce the cost of tour by planning routes strategically.
• To better understand the needs of churches as they reach their local
communities.
• To increase our community awareness by promoting and having a publicity
plan for the Australian tour.
• Endeavour to have 3 separate tours planned to have the opportunity to
promote concerts proactively for future years.
• Be in key cities for specific events (eg. Hillsong, Easterfest)
• To have 10 major media coverage events in 2014
• To increase media coverage each year.
These goals will continually improve the professionalism & accountability of Watoto
Australia and of the choirs that tour here.
THANK YOU BUS DRIVERS
Each year the Watoto Children’s choir is able to travel
around the country because of the selfless giving of time,
energy and skills from our bus & truck drivers.
Over the last 12 months our bus drivers, Uncle Bill, Don,
Derek, Graham & Auntie Joanne, Uncle Bob and Auntie
Dawn have done a wonderful job – we love an appreciate
you so much.
We would also like to thank our good friends at Cross
Country tours for continuing to care for our bus and truck,
ensuring they are safe for each tour – bless you!

CHOIR STRATEGY
24 WATOTO CHILD CARE MINISTRIES AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
The year 2012/2013 has, again, seen Watoto gain key exposure in the media and build
on relationships formed in the previous year.
Together with concert coordinators around Australia, we have been able to see the
Watoto Children’s Choir promoted through local media ahead of the performances in
most areas. The choir have had many radio interviews where they have been able to sing
and share about Watoto - raising awareness nationwide of the choir’s tour and the work
of Watoto generally.
Early in the year, the choir were interviewed on 4BC radio where everyone in the studio
had the opportunity to meet the team and were really impacted by the interview. The
choir were also interviewed on 96five’s drive program and have been interviewed on
many ABC stations across Australia where we have received positive feedback including
one presenter who commented that they just ‘brightened everyone’s day.’
One of the most impacting interviews this year was with Vision FM early on in the choir’s
tour. There was not a dry eye in the room as the children sung and one of the young girls
shared her story with tears in her eyes. This 15 minute interview was aired nationwide on
over 500 relay stations and will also be aired on History Makers which is played on all 500
relay stations as well as almost every Christian radio station across Australia. Vision FM
Presenter Matt Prater commented:
“One of the most powerful interviews we’ve done in the past year was with the team from Watoto. To hear the stories of the kids, to see to joy in their eyes, and to hear their harmonies, it’s like a taste of heaven! We’ve had listeners from all over Aus-tralia tell us how much they were touched by their performance on-air. Thanks Watoto, please come back and visit!
The choir were also interviewed on the ‘Open House’ program which is played on Christian
radio in every capital city in Australia as well as across over 500 relay stations in regional
Australia. This interview was a fantastic opportunity for our tour leader to share about
the generation of leaders that are being raised up through Watoto to steward Africa’s
resources with integrity.
There have also been many articles publicised about Watoto in local newspapers and
our social media presence has doubled in the past year. We are excited to report that
the work and vision of Watoto have been clearly communicated across various channels
throughout 2012/2013 and are looking forward to even more growth in this area in the
coming years.

MEDIA UPDATE

PORT MACQUARIENEWSCHOIR 56EVENTS & CAMPAIGNS
2012/2013 has also seen awareness and support of Watoto Child Care Ministries
increase through a variety of campaigns and events. Already in 2013, there have
been 2 campaigns ‘Rescued by Love’ and ‘Raised by Community’ used to communicate
some of our core messages to existing and potential supporters.
We also ran an incredibly successful Mother’s Day campaign which saw thousands of
dollars in donations towards our ‘Mother’s Day Retreat’ (for Watoto Mamas) received
as well as new sponsorships. This campaign was also designed with tools so that people
could easily share about Watoto with friends and family and increase awareness. This
campaign was run in conjunction with our Mother’s Day event which doubled in size
from the previous year’s event and saw more donations and sponsorships come in as a
result.
This year we also held a Corporate Fundraising Gala in Brisbane. The night was an
outstanding success and we were able to raise over $22,000 for Watoto’s self-
sustainability initiatives as well as strengthen existing partnerships and build new
relationships. We also held a Corporate Gala in Sydney for the first time in 2013 where
we had an overwhelmingly positive response from everyone who attended. Both of
these events were a fantastic opportunity for the choir to perform in a different setting
for key people who may not attend a traditional concert and were an outstanding
success in terms of raising awareness of Watoto in the corporate sector.

J210 – WATOTO CHILDREN’S VILLAGE
The children’s villages continued to grow over the last 12 months both in construction
of buildings and with intake of children. Expansion of the volunteer accommodation
in Suubi village has meant that more people from all around the world are able to stay
onsite, which helps with time management & scheduling of teams & individuals.
We have had an intake of over 200 orphaned children in our villages in Kampala who
have been rescued or have progressed from Baby Watoto. These children now have
a new mother, 7 new brothers & sisters and are being educated and raised to be
productive citizens of Uganda.
J329 – WATOTO VILLAGES – GULU
With most of our build teams this past year building homes in Gulu we have seen a
steady, but managed growth of construction in our Laminadera Village.
These homes are all still yet to be finished – mostly pathways & gardens – but will soon
see the new intake of orphan children from the Gulu region.
The educational facility in Laminadera continues to grow with construction by visiting
teams. A Watoto child in our Laminadera Village school was one of the top performing
students in the Northern Uganda region at the end of 2012. During his final exams
he excelled in all areas of education. Many of our other students achieved above the
national average.

J416 – LIVING HOPE PROJECT
In early 2013 we have seen 540 HIV+ women start our Living Hope project. These most
vulnerable women of Uganda who have suffered horrifically due to the war in Northern
Uganda or have been infected by AIDS due to lack of education have been given a new
lease on life. Providing their medical needs, while giving them a trade and education
ensures not only their future, but also the future of their children.
Living Hope has many sustainability arms and also provides young girls in the local
communities with sanitary products & underwear to lessen the chance of them
dropping out of school when they hit puberty, due to not having these resources. Our
Keep a Girl in School project is now impacting the lives of over 1200 young girls by
helping them continue their education.

BUILD TEAMS FROM AUSTRALIA
Australian and New Zealand churches, schools, corporate & community groups continue
to support Watoto and in the 2012/2013 Financial year 22 teams consisting of 285 people
travelled to Uganda and built many vital and much needed projects.
These projects included houses, classrooms, apartments, student dormitories, teacher’s
accommodation, general maintenance requirements, and sustainability projects. Last
year we reported one team commenced a Rain Harvesting Project. That team has
since returned to Uganda to complete the project and provide ‘on the job training’ to
Watoto staff so that they can continue this program in other areas of Watoto Villages
and eventually turn it into a ‘self-sustainability’ program. We are excited to advise that
Watoto has now secured the contract to build two Water Tanks at the UN Hospital at
Entebbe.
The Watoto Construction Team is currently building 13 Houses at Laminadera Village
(Gulu) which have been funded through Hillsong Church & Colour Sisterhood.

ST FAITHS ANGLICAN CHURCH AND FRIENDS WATOTO BUILD IN APRIL 2013
We were a team of 17 people who in April this year travelled from Sydney’s
northern beaches to Uganda to help build a classroom in Laminadera Watoto
Village in Gulu. What an amazing experience we had and we felt truly blessed by
the generosity of so many people who supported our fund raising efforts. Not only
did we have sufficient money for the build but we were also able to sponsor some
children and buy many other things for the beautiful children in Uganda.
The classroom we built was in a block of 3 in the senior school. The local Ugandan
men that we assisted in building the classroom were so humble and had such
patience with our unskilled efforts – but it was a real team effort of brothers and
sisters in Christ. With part of the extra money we raised we bought 300 kg of
both rice and sugar and handed it out as gifts to the surrounding village people
near Laminadera. Pastor Victor, the resident pastor, organised for the local people
to come to the new church to receive their gifts. We also visited our 3 sponsored
children; Kevin and Alfred who live in Laminadera, and Lawrence who lives in Suubi.
It was truly wonderful to meet them and their godly adopted families.
We spent time in Baby Watoto in both Kampala and Gulu to love and care for
these vulnerable babies – and it was hard to leave. When we visited Living Hope
in both Gulu and Kampala we treated some of the ladies to a manicure and arm
massage. It was an honour serving these beautiful ladies. Going to Church and
worshiping with our brothers and sisters in Christ was wonderful too.
We were looked after so well by everyone, from
our hosts, Rogers and Steven, our bus drivers,
Antonio and Michael and all the wonderful people
from the guest houses in Kampala and Gulu.
We were truly blessed and amazed by their
generosity. Our time in Uganda was just awesome.
Thank you Watoto for the wonderful work you are
doing in Uganda for the children and women. Our
prayer is that these beautiful children will be the
next generation of leaders in Uganda that will help
change the future of the country for the better.
We will be returning in 2015. God Bless.
Kathy (NSW) on behalf of the St Faith’s and friends Build Team of 2013
One of our great Australian teams has given us the following feedback from their time
with Watoto in Uganda;
31 WATOTO CHILD CARE MINISTRIES AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
MEET KATHY
I recently had the privilege of going to Uganda with a build team to build a Watoto
house, and I then did some voluntary occupational therapy work with the special
needs Watoto children for 1 month.
Before leaving for Uganda, our team had worked hard for most of the year to raise
the necessary funds to build the house, so we were pretty excited to get it built
once we arrived. It was hot, heavy, and dirty work, but being part of the building
process was great because it was such a practical way of helping. It was a great
feeling when we finished building. We knew that 8 children and a mum’s life would
be changed by this house. We dedicated the house to the Lord, and said a prayer
for those who would live there.
Once the team left, I worked with special needs children for the remainder of
my time. All of these children’s stories are just so sad. Some were abandoned at
hospitals or in the forest, others were locked up in cupboards and abused. Still
others were dumped in a latrine pit or in a creek. Most are severely malnourished
when they arrive at Watoto. In each child’s story, I was reminded that God loves all
6 billion of us in the world, and cares about the fate of each of us, and has worked
in many people’s lives to rescue these kids. It also reminded me of God’s love for
all of us, that he would send His son Jesus to die on the cross so we could receive
forgiveness and spend eternity with Him.
There is a tireless Watoto therapy team who I worked alongside during my
voluntary time. They face so many obstacles, but they just seem to bounce back
quickly from a set-back, and try another approach. Sarah Matovu is the special
needs team coordinator. The special needs team have achieved so much, including
transitioning some children from the Babies Home to the Watoto village homes
with a mum. Another significant achievement has been setting up a future for
special
needs children once they become adults and helping them to be a meaningful part
of the community. Sometimes this involves paid employment, for example, working
on the Watoto farms.
INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEERS
Again, this year we have seen an increase in the numbers of individual volunteers from
Australia & New Zealand in this financial year.
31 wonderful individuals travelled to Uganda and volunteered for a minimum of one
month with Watoto, working and serving alongside the Watoto Team, in areas such
as Baby Watoto / Living Hope / Watoto Church / Children’s Villages / Medical Clinics /
office and administrative areas.
32 WATOTO CHILD CARE MINISTRIES AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
I had so much fun working with the Ugandan therapists. The special needs team are
keen to establish regular voluntary Christian therapist’s visits. Those with experience in
paediatrics and the disability sector would be most suitable. Occupational therapists,
physiotherapists, and especially speech language pathologists and special education
teachers are needed, also clinical psychologists. I personally found that one month of
voluntary time goes very quickly, and I would consider extending my time on my next
visit. The Watoto therapists are also interested in work placements in Australia and
other first world countries, in order to further their skills in the paediatric disability area.
I also hope to continue fundraising in Australia for equipment needed for the special
needs children to improve their quality of life and independence. If anyone is interested
in these opportunities, please contact the Watoto Australia Office.
What have I learnt from my experiences in Uganda, and what has God taught me? In
essence: Bad stuff happens in this world. But God cares. God has a plan and it is being
carried out right now. There will always be an ongoing need to respond – to “Speak up
for those who cannot speak for themselves”. And lastly, I am in a blessed position to be
able to do many things for God.

MEET MIA
My name is Mia and I am 18 years old and live in
Sydney. For 2 months of 2012 whilst I was on my
gap year I had the incredible privilege of living in
Uganda, volunteering with Baby Watoto.
The high school I attended sends a team of
students to Uganda each year to volunteer with
Watoto. A couple of people I knew had also
spent time as volunteers with Baby Watoto and
absolutely loved it. There was never a specific
moment that I felt the Lord telling me to go to
Uganda, but instead a longing grew over a few
years to volunteer at Watoto. I went through the
motions of applying and decided to leave my
acceptance into Watoto in God’s faithful hands; if
He wanted me to go, I would. I was accepted and
was overjoyed!
I spent the majority of my time in Uganda at Suubi Babies Home. As volunteers at
Baby Watoto our main aim is to work alongside the Ugandan nannies and help them
out in any way possible. Mainly this includes helping them in looking after the babies
they so lovingly care for, but also in washing up the babies bottles and bowls (trust
me, there’s a lot of them) and washing, folding and sorting the babies clothes so the
nannies have more time to bond and communicate with the gorgeous Watoto bubs!
As challenging as it was at times I loved every single moment of my stay with Baby
Watoto. I feel so blessed to have been able to play a part (however so tiny) in these
babies’ lives and thank the Lord every day that I was able to go to Uganda. The
precious Baby Watoto babies are forever on
my heart. I would love to go back to Uganda
as soon as I can, I just have to wait upon the
Lord and see if that’s His plan too!
Mia (SYD)

WATOTO 360˚One student from Australia completed the Watoto 360* programme in the current
financial year.
Watoto 360 is a Christian discipleship course, not to be confused with a Bible college
program. It runs for approximately 5 and a half months, from early January to mid- June
each year. In-class instruction is combined with hands-on experience, giving students
a balanced understanding of ministry. Our desire is for students to learn and grow
as individuals, to acquire knowledge and to gain wisdom that comes from applying
that knowledge, so that when ministry opportunities are presented, the experiences
they have had will enable them to serve with excellence. Discipleship courses begin
with basic fundamentals of Christianity moving towards a deeper understanding of
discipleship toward the end of the program.
He has provided the following comments;
“Leaving was particularly hard- leaving all my new friends. Harder than I ever
thought it would be. It has been a great experience that is for sure.
I was interviewed by the local ABC Radio a few days after arriving home and was
also asked to write devotions for one of our local school newsletters and have
been invited to speak in our local church to provide a testimony of my experiences
of my discipleship course”. Jack (QLD)
*Please note that no project funds go towards non-developmental projects. This is to comply with Australian law.

GLOBAL BUILD TEAMS
There were 8 people from Australia who joined up with a Global Team to serve in
Watoto Uganda in the financial year 2012 / 2013.
These teams consist of up to 32 people from all over the world who meet in Uganda for
a common cause. They focus on 4 main areas of need being Building / Medical / Babies
Homes / August School Camps.
This is a great way for people from all over Australia & New Zealand, who do not
have the opportunity to go to Watoto Uganda with their local church or community
group team, and experience Watoto first hand and provide much needed support and
assistance to the Ministries of Watoto.

SCOPE
REPORT on the Financial Report
We have audited the attached financial report of The Watoto Australia Group, being a Special Purpose Financial Report which comprises the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 as set out on the accompanying pages.
DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The group’s directors and trustees are responsible for the financial report and have determined that the accounting policies used and described in Note 1 to the financial report and the accounting disclosures contained therein are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The directors and trustees’ responsibility also includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
AUDITOR’S Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. No opinion is expressed as to whether the accounting policies used, as described in Note 1, are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. The financial report has been prepared for distribution to members of the entity for the purpose of fulfilling the directors and trustees’ financial reporting. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report or on the financial report to which it relates to any person other than the members or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

Limitation to Scope As is common for organisations of this type, it is not practicable to cost effectively audit the system of internal control over cash receipts of donations, subscriptions or other fund raising activities. Accordingly, our audit tests over receipts were limited to amounts already recorded in the books and records of the entity. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements. AUDITOR’S OPINION
In our opinion, the financial report of The Watoto Australia Group for the year ended 30 June 2013 is in accordance with the constitution, including
i. giving a true and fair view of the group's financial position as at 30 June 2013 and of its performance for the year ended on that date in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1; and
ii. present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the entity’s financial position and the results of its operations; and
iii. complying with Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in Note 1.
