Our History
This is the inception story of Light Up Children, recounted by its founder, Stephanie Kamale.
Light Up Children was inaugurated in 2019. In the lead-up to its launch, we embarked on a visit to the DRC Congo, where we made donations funded by proceeds from various shows I hosted.
The day before the donation event, I encountered three young boys, all under the age of 8, residing under a staircase along a bustling thoroughfare in Bandal, Kinshasa. Astonished, I queried the locals nearby, who affirmed the truth of their situation. Witnesses attested to their prolonged residence under the staircase.
