Who We Are
A ministry that grew from seven children into a community mission.
The Pillars of Africa Children's Ministry began as a Sunday school and children's choir, where founder Kunihira Patrick and his wife Nakakawa Madina Kunihira responded to the needs of vulnerable children with practical care, ministry training and hope.
Today, the organization works across education, health, economic empowerment, child protection and spiritual nurture so that children and families can build stronger, more stable lives.
