Watamu Community Centre is a non-profit organization that has been dedicated to improving the lives of the local community for over 10 years. Located in the heart of Watamu, this centre has become an integral part of the community, providing various programs and initiatives to support the community’s needs.
One of the key programs of the Watamu Community Centre is education. The Centre provides a nursery and primary school education to over 300 children from the surrounding area. The school provides quality education to children who may not have been able to afford it otherwise. The Centre also runs an adult education program for those who were unable to attend school in their childhood or could not complete their education.
Another important program of the Watamu Community Centre is their healthcare initiative. The centre provides basic healthcare services to the local community, including HIV/AIDS testing, counseling and support, and malaria prevention education. They also provide health care for pregnant women, ensuring safe deliveries and healthy babies.
The Watamu Community Centre is also committed to environmental conservation. They have various projects aimed at creating awareness and preserving the natural resources of Watamu. They work with the local community to promote responsible tourism and sustainable use of natural resources, particularly marine life.
In addition to their core programs, the Watamu Community Centre also provides support to vulnerable groups such as orphans, street children, and single mothers. They have a program that provides basic needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter, to these groups. They also offer vocational training to young adults to enable them to become self-sufficient and support themselves.
