BRIEFLY ABOUT ACFAMILY MINISTRIES
I AC Family is a holistic care program that was initiated as a response to the overwhelming number of orphaned children and vulnerable women in Uganda whose lives had been devastated by Cholera outbreak and AIDS epidemic in 1999.
AC Family exists to transform lives and communities through acts of compassion and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Founded in 1999 by Patrick Baligasima.ACFamily continues to bring hope through access to education, leadership training, and healthcare; Christian discipleship; and through holistic care for children, women, and men in need. At the heart of our model for breaking cycles of poverty is educational sponsorship. With a university education, or a vocational equivalent, children in Uganda and Rwanda have hope for the future.

A sack of 50 kilograms of maize and another of rice fed the magada family of 13 for a month. The father, Prince Aloysious, a pastor in Kampala, Uganda, took note of each grain.
When cholera swept the katangas’ neighborhood in 1998, their youngest daughter, Omega, 8, began sneaking scoops of maize and rice to her friend whose father died from the disease.
At the end of the month, the Lwakatales were short of food and the father, discovering that Omega had been sneaking it out, was angry. As he was about to punish Omega, she said, “If you beat me for giving to the needy can you still be a pastor?”
Her words halted her father. “It was an eye-opener for him that there was so much bigger need outside our family,” Omega’s little question, and her father’s reaction, was the beginning of something that has become special -including an organization that helps orphans and widows in their Kampala community and a children’s choir that travels the world to raise awareness about the plight of underprivileged children in Africa and a church focused on changing the community for Christ nurturing God fearing leaders of tomorrow.
Today I AM Children’s Family serves all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.
