**The Charity operations have now changed, the new website will be available in March 2025 with all the new information but briefly....**
Please note that after many years of working in different towns of Zambia, the foundation has streamlined all operations to only work on the copperbelt for easier management, logistics, accountability and transparency.
The Cherise Makubale Foundation (CMF) is a non-profit organisation that supports various programs in the community aimed at making people's lives better.
It is an initiative of Cherise Makubale, the inaugural winner of Big Brother Africa. After many years of being involved in various charitable projects across Zambia, she is now living abroad and has streamlined her foundation to mainly focus on helping the communities on the Copperbelt. This is easier for transparency, logistics and management as all the team is based on the Copperbelt, with Ndola as the main hub of activities.
The Foundation is divided into two main programs:
- The Cherise Makubale Community Fund (CMCF) ........which is the main vessel for distributing funding
-The ODI Kuno Program.....which is a grocery support program for some widows and widowers in various communities of Ndola.
Under CMCF, various groups such as orphanages, community schools, youth, sports academies, women's groups, groups supporting people living with various disabilities, are encouraged to apply for a share of the Fund.
Examples of funding are: An orphanage needing some blankets mattresses, mosquito nets etc, a women's group needing a peanut butter machine, seed for planting, clothing etc A basketball team needing some jerseys and basketballs, the visually impaired needing some braille material etc etc
The ODI Kuno program is purely a food support program to help with daily needs of the household in Ndola Only.
We are a small mobile charity with funding of between K5000 and K15000 depending on allocation and funding available. We do not sponsor individuals, nor sponsor churches.
We also do not fund Tertiary Fees nor give out loans.
The emphasis is more on the collective needs of a group rather than an individual.
The fund has limited funding and we therefore ask people to come on board and donate to this cause so we can reach more people
We are a mobile charity working directly in the communities with the help of volunteers.
