Cherise Makubale
Founder
The earliest memory I have of working with children was when I was about 10 years old. My mother use to take me to the supermarkets and would always buy extra bread for the vulnerable kids on the streets and when I asked why, she would say: "They need to know that someone cares for them”
I went on to continue working with children during my teenage years through various beauty pageant charitable projects. I eventually participated and won a reality show called Big Brother Africa which gave me a great deal of exposure for my charity work.
I helped several different charities including but not limited to; women’s shelters at hospitals, orphanages, the disabled groups and co-founded a children’s "edutainment" park which was a facility that provided educational awareness programs in a play park setting.
My main focus is vulnerable children and orphans as this is my passion and now that I have finished with most on the ground projects and moved to the UK permanently, I decided to streamline my work through this foundation because it focuses on education as a right for every child regardless of where they come from and as a means of breaking the poverty cycle through the support of the child, support of the school and support of the family.
Zambia has been highly affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, which has resulted in a lot of orphans and vulnerable kids, and while there are organisations working on the prevention and awareness of this devastating disease, and with the advancement of new medicines, we still need to ensure that these children’s education carrys on no matter what household they are coming from.
All team members are volunteers, loyal, honest and are on the ground in Zambia making sure all donations go specifically to those in need. There is clear accountability and transparency.
I believe that “The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.”
Whilst we may not help everyone, everyone can help someone.
