Mr Njovu D.A Katende’s Background.
My Name is Njovu D. A Katende, I am now 24 years of age. Who was living in Kampala on the streets of Kampala capital city of Uganda about 10 years ago as for now, Trying to survive by selling my crafts, I am a gifted craft maker of Jewellery …. ‘Gifted hands Uganda’ Was always my dream and maker of the day.
“I have been living on the streets of Kampala for many years. Like many Street Children through family circumstances I ended up living on the streets. I come from a rural village, My mother divorced my father, she remarried, our extended family grew larger, my step father told me I had to return to my bio father as he had no means of supporting me for schooling and basic needs. I was sent away from the family, I tried finding my biological father but everywhere I searched I couldn’t find him. I returned to my mother and step father pleading to stay, but my step father told me I could no longer live with them and turned me away.” That was the Cause as to i had end up my life out there in the streets.
“I had heard about many living a life on the streets of Kampala, I decided to make my way there, and start my own life. Those days of being on the streets were the scariest days of my life ! …. I had to struggle to find something to eat and to survive. My life was in constant danger, of mugging, beatings, starvation, no where to rest my head at night. Eventually I was taken in by a charity. I thank God for their good works, they gave me a roof over my head and a place to call home.” Good Lord preserved me for a reason truly.
