GENESIS:
ACTS Ministry Uganda is a Christian organization and a NGO based on helping and supporting of the needy children and young adults back to school so as they can have a bright future.
ACTS Ministry Uganda was founded in 2015 after realizing that there many innocent children and youth who were denied a chance to education. One day I was walking home and I came across a girl called Juliet who looked too hungry desperate.
I tried to find out the problem and she told me her father stopped her from going to school because her elder sister got pregnant while at school, then their father decided not to educate girls anymore. She pleaded, sought for forgiveness but the father didn’t forgive them.
I asked her what she was planning to do. “I can’t stop in grade 6; I have to continue in school no matter what, I am joining prostitution to get money for my school fees.” She said. A t that tender age (12yrs), she was determined to become a prostitute. I asked her how she knew about prostitution and she told me via mass media were she heard people do sex for money and meet their needs.
I shared with her the Love of God, I loved her, advised not to do it, since then I took her as my daughter and I have cared for her. After getting Juliet God put it on our hearts to help such children and we have little ones who were abandoned by their parents some thrown on rubbish pits, much as we had limited funds, we got compassion for those children and as of now we have 30 children we fully support 40 we help them partially.
we have taken them back to school, some are infants in Kindergarten school, some in primary, some in colleges and others in technical schools while others are learning agriculture.
We therefore welcome volunteers with different skills that can be instilled in our children for a better future. Those in technical schools some are doing tailoring, Metal welding, building and construction. The good bit of this they study while earning some little money for their pocket money which is better than sex for money.
