How It Started
Hello, my name is Enock. I am the creator of Promised Love Children's Ministry and an ex-street child from Mityana, Uganda. It is my life mission to save as many orphaned children as possible.
Both of my parents passed away when I was 5 years old. Having no where to go, I became a street child in Uganda. Those were the most terrifying years of life. I ate from the rubbish pits, slept on dirt roads, and saw many of my small friends attacked and taken advantage of by cruel adults. I was forced to grow up very quickly and I promised myself that if I made it to adulthood I would do everything in my power to help the suffering children. There are over 15,000 street children in Uganda. I was one of them.

Although they did not have much themselves, they gave me a safe place to call home and that changed my life. From that day forward, I set out on my journey to help save Ugandan children from the suffering I endured when I was little.
Although my new guardians could not afford to send me to school, I followed in the footsteps of my late father and became a taxi driver. I saved up my money diligently and as soon as I was able to move to my own home I opened my doors to 3 children.
Even though I was only a teenager, helping these children rest, eat, and finally feel safe was worth all of the sacrifice. Slowly, as I continued to work, I allowed more children into my care. Eventually, in 2020, I established PLCM.
Now there are 30 children at PLCM, some as young as 2 years old. My entire life is spent at the orphanage and we have all become one large family. PLCM is the only thing keeping them off the dangerous streets of Uganda.
But, there are still so many children I cannot help. New children ask to join PLCM daily, and my heart breaks for them when I cannot afford to bring them in. I am determined to grow PLCM and change the lives of these innocent children!
