About PACM
A community-based ministry rooted in worship, care and practical support.
PACM was formalized to serve vulnerable children with dignity, discipleship and the tools to build stronger futures.
Current children and youth connected to the ministry community
Background
From a small children's ministry to a registered organization.
The Pillars of Africa Children's Ministry started as a children's choir and Sunday school with seven vulnerable children. Founder Kunihira Patrick and his wife Nakakawa Madina Kunihira saw the need to empower these children through ministry skills, education, daily living support and access to basic needs.
In 2015 the founders moved to formalize the work, and PACM was duly registered by Wakiso District as a community-based organization. Since then, the ministry has brought together people with a heart for serving children and families facing vulnerability.

We envision well nurtured, empowered children with improved livelihoods.
Mission
To raise a God fearing generation and capable ministers for the Kingdom of God and improved livelihoods

Children - the pillars for the future
