TESTIMONIALS

Client Feedbacks

I got into drugs and alcohol as early as senior 1, moved from school to school. Ultimately, dropped out of school. I had a close brush with death at least 4 times. Lived on the streets, separated from family, hopeless and frustrated. Today I am a NEW man, full of hope and aspirations, able to seek for a job after completing a course in solar maintenance and Installation. Joyful, surrounded by Love.

Former student 2022

After I lost my mother at the age of 12 everything changed. I left like I had lost everything; she was all I had and she loved me so much. Left to fend for myself, I turned to friends who negatively influenced me into a life of Drugs and living on the streets. At about age 15, i encountered LOVE again through TCU and everything changed. I found hope and purpose for living. I encountered God.

Allan Bwiire

Former student 2014

Every class, therapy session and gathering we had in the program for 12 months helped me realize that God loved me despite my brokenness. Today I am living my testimony of transformation in Jesus Christ. I am currently supporting men at the Kampala residential home and through this I have seen my life and the lives of men change.
