A family home

for one family

We provide intensive care for 1 family, 1 family consisting of 25 children, 11 permanent caregivers and 9 team members.


We give children a home with personal attention. They belong to a close community.


A child can best grow up in a family, but it is not always possible to live with their own parents or close family. This applies to all the children in the 4WatotoHouse. Children need a safe environment.


A family can offer this best and gives children the best foundation to grow up to be emotionally stable and independent adults. That a child can grow up best in a family may sound obvious, but this principle is all too often trampled underfoot.


In family homes, permanent 'family parents' provide a home for a small group of children, with whom they live together as a family. In a foster family or family home, children experience a normal and natural family life. That is why The 4WatotoHouse is not an orphanage, but a family home, a home for 1 family.

We have given 25 children with a difficult past a home in a family home with a close-knit family. Here the children can be themselves and enjoy their youth. 4Watoto does not only want to give children shelter and food, but also a place where a child receives love, support and personal attention. The 4WatotoHouse is a safe place for the children where they can find peace, share emotions and experience joy in life every day.

In addition, the children are given tools to develop themselves, create skills and opportunities to convert skills into value.


When young people reach their potential, they will serve as role models for their fellow human beings and positively influence their country, an influence that will reach far beyond the 4Watoto foundation itself.


25 children help 100 other children and people. One starts a business, another opens a new 4WatotoHouse. Another starts working as a nurse and saves people's lives.


They are the change-makers of tomorrow.


4Watoto can really use your help!

Rooted in Congolese culture

We are proud of DR Congo and its beautiful culture and want the children to grow up in a normal Congolese family. At 4Watoto we cherish an environment where different ethnicities, nationalities and religions come together. We want children to grow up close to their roots. The children at 4Watoto are raised with an open, modern view of life from the Congolese culture where both Christian and Ubuntu norms and values are at the basis.
