MAKULA CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTRE PLAN AND BUDGET
BACKGROUND
MAKULA CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTRE was initiated by I Kiwola Stuart, being an orphan at an early period of 15months, I got a chance to know a mother’s or a father’s love could be to mention a few of what I went through, I was told by my grandmother that my father was a day and night drunkard where he was finally affected Aids by the lady in
bar, when it came to my mother it was a long story however she passed away when I was still of four months old. I grow up with my grandmother up to the age of nine who also late passed away in a miserable condition ,of which I had no one to take care of me neither shelter, I decided my way on streets feeding on garbage, sleeping on street, taking drugs of all kinds however in my mind I had the feeling that when it happens to be out of streets, I will do my level best to help all the generations suffering on streets, feeding on garbage and lacking all basic needs a child or an orphan could get. Being on streets I discovered that I had a music talent in me, I went to crusades, conferences and many different corners spreading the gospel about the suffering of children on streets. So to cut the story short, God helped me in my music talent and am someone in this country who is helping a number of orphans, street children in an organization MAKULA CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTRE our target is to help more and more children being victims of my past as mentioned below
