Why crystalministrykassanda

OUR STOry
CRYSTAL MINISTRY KASSANDA was  By kijjambu Muzafaru and Ssebuguzi Aza  in 2015. What started out small has developed by the power of the Holy Spirit into a ministry encompassing a network of a Bible school, children’s homes (orphanage), primary education, medical assistance, farming and much more.
In July 2016,One of the founders, Ssebuguzi Aza, went through the agony of losing one of his parents and other relatives because of Malaria due to poor medical support. While he was still young, he felt God’s calling of doing His work and serving Him through this orphanage ministry whereby he could help other children who are motherless and fatherless. He had been disturbed by the plight of many children in his community of kassanda, Uganda, who had been neglected or abandoned and had no one and nowhere to turn to for help. So he decided to join with his christrian brother and created a space in their home to share what we had with the orphaned and needy children there in his community. They couldn’t bear to see children suffer after losing parents but would accommodate and live with them. This is where he stepped out in faith to minister to the needs of the orphans, vulnerable children and families in his community. They had nothing but a small house where they started with four orphans who had been abandoned by their guardians. God has used them to bring a smile and new opportunities to hundreds of children in his community.

Since Crystal Ministries kassanda Uganda started in 2015 to shelter and educate children, it has undergone huge transformation in all areas. It has increased the number of children it accommodates and made improvements in the school facilities as well as local initiatives designed to generate income and ensure a sustainable
future for the ministry.

The goals of Crystal ministries Uganda were both immediate and long term. Immediately, Crystal  began providing a home to children in need of a loving
environment that could care for their individual needs. However, the laborious work would be in the long term. Changing the stigma of orphans in Uganda,
resettling street children with their families for adoption or in orphanages, and promoting the idea of foster care to the communities are things that Ttamu continues to work tirelessly to do. Throughout the years, it has become the top priority of Crystal Ministries to focus on equipping families who have children who are infected and affected with HIV/AIDS. Today, our Community Care Program provides education, medical assistance, therapy, and counseling to these families throughout our region.
Crystal Ministries Uganda has grown into a robust ministry serving over 36 children through our residential, community and education programs. Our core values will continue to guide our programs as we work towards accomplishing our mission in Jesus’ name.
