My name is Mutebi Alex; The Chief Founder of Care For Homeless Foundation Uganda, Non-Profit Children Charity Center. (CFHFU)

 

I was born on August 3, 1994. I am an orphan with only younger sister called Ndagire Monica.

 

This is my story...

 

As a small child I loved to care for other children so much.  Every day I would love to play, share my everything with my fellow children in our village and  school. My family was very poor.  My mother, father and other two siblings, my brother Francis and sister Ivon died on the same day in a car accident when I was 12 years old, leaving me to be caretaker to my younger sister, Ndagire Monica. 

 

Every time I remember 4 coffins in our sitting room, they did not even fit in the room because the room was too small, I remember how our mother used to look after us despite her having no money, she truly loved us. May shel rest in peace. 

 

The next year; we went to live with our uncle, he was also poor with a big family. We got mistreated so we ran away to streets.

 

While on the streets life was so disgusting. No hope to have food, school, shelter. Everything on the streets was “NO!”

 

One day around the village some good men and women of God came and organized a big Crusade, they preached to the people, me and my sister were there but our intentions were to get something to eat not  to listen Gospel.

 

The next day of the crusade the woman who preached talked about this verse; I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you. John 14:18 This touched me and I asked my brother have heard that? He answered no. Reading the Bible for the first time in my life taught me truth about God.

 

In 2010, still on the streets, an Angel of Wisdom came to me and told me to start helping my brothers and sisters on the streets, and one man named Brian gave me a small job at his bicycle garage paying me $3 a day, and this was the money I used to buy others food and water. God blessed me and this good man rented a house for me and my sister because I was hard working. I didn’t tell him that I was going to bring others in. Unfortunately he died in 20012.

 

My personal scripture was Psalms 10:18, “You defend the fatherless and oppressed, so that mere mortals may no longer terrorize them.”

 

When I invited others in, God started working in me and rescued as many as 30 children.

 

My first work was to gather the orphaned and abandoned children at village encouraging them and giving them Hope through words. I used the little money I had to buy them something to eat. When God is in you nothing is impossible. God put songs back into the hearts of the children.

 

Since then, with the support from you and our nearby village people, children are able to get something to eat, have clothing and have a roof over there heads and not be in the streets. Glory be to the Lord.

 

We Still have long way to go; we need to buy our own land to be able;

 

1. To build our own Charity home to accommodate more needy children,

 

2. To build our own School to educate more needy children who aren’t in position to afford school fees on their own.

 

3. To Grow own our own Crops to stop Hunger.

 

Upon graduation, they attend vocational college to learn skills in tailoring, computers, building, carpentry, animal husbandry or agriculture. Many talents are within these kids and if given the chance they will become successful. 

​

Every single human being deserves a chance to lead a good life.  Each child is entitled to food, water, medicine and education.
