The Pillars of Africa Children's Ministry is a community-based organization in Kasangati, Wakiso District, Uganda, established to support vulnerable children and strengthen the households that care for them.
PACM began as a children's choir and Sunday school at Nakwero Gospel Outreach Church with seven vulnerable children. What started as church-based care grew into a broader ministry response that combined practical support, discipleship, education and daily-life assistance for children facing hardship.
To raise a God-fearing generation and capable ministers for the Kingdom of God and improved livelihood.
The organization was formalized in 2015 and registered by Wakiso District under registration number WCBO 155/16. PACM now works in areas including health education, economic empowerment, spiritual formation, child protection and material support.
