I am Dr. Kanyesigye Edward, a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary in the United States. I am the founder and Executive Director of Victory Africa Ministries (VAM), an indigenous non-governmental organization (NGO) with a focus on promoting the well-being of marginalized women and children through faith and innovative approaches.
VAM initially began as a Community Based Organization in 2004, but later underwent restructuring to obtain NGO status based on the recommendations of local and national leaders. The organization is governed by a board consisting of seven dedicated members who are committed to the successful fulfillment of VAM's mission. These founding members were selected from a network of Christian churches that recognized the needs present within their congregations and the broader community.
Through our various projects, VAM is actively bringing about socio-economic transformation in numerous communities, exceeding expectations.
Victory Africa ministries is the gateway to restore lost hope.
The organization's vision is to encourage the flourishing of marginalized women and children in Africa by walking alongside them with unwavering love and compassion. Victory Africa Ministry’s mission is to Develop the Competencies of marginalized women and children in Africa. Using integrated programs and services, we aim to work as a team in planning, mobilizing resources, and developing programs that improve the well-being of the people. VAM is defined by empowering people to stand on their own to be self-sufficient, fight diseases, poverty, ignorance and social evils in the community. This is done without prejudice or favor, giving respect, ownership, and dignity to all participants.
Victory Africa Ministries under its project J319 (Victory Development Initiatives) partners with Global Development Group to sponsor children. Donations over $2 with a preference for project J319 are tax-deductible in Australia and the USA. Excess funds may be applied to other approved activities.

Victory Child Sponsorship's vision is to love and care for the orphans and vulnerable Children through Jesus Christ's example with the purpose of rising up a new and competent generation of committed and faithful leaders of our communities and nations. The children in this project are placed in foster families, where children live as brothers and sisters, giving the children the opportunity to grow in a stable, structured and loving environment.
In the heart of Uganda's Kabale district, amidst rolling hills and verdant landscapes, stands Akanyijuka Nursery and Primary School, a testament to the transformative power of education. Its history is a chronicle of resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment to nurturing young minds and enriching souls. The school's genesis can be traced back to 2004, when a group of visionary individuals, driven by a passion for education and a deep concern for the marginalized and orphaned children of their community, embarked on a remarkable journey. With limited resources and unwavering resolve, they established drop-in centre, a children's which later transitioned into Akanyijuka Nursery and Primary School, a humble institution with a grand vision. From its inception, Akanyijuka Nurseary and primary school embraced a holistic approach to education, recognizing that the development of a child's intellect is inextricably linked to the nourishment of their soul. The school's motto, "Teaching the Mind, Nourishing the Soul," became its guiding principle, shaping every aspect of its educational philosophy.
Welcome to Victory Small Agri Based Business, a transformative project dedicated to empowering marginalized women in rural communities. Through our initiative, we are making a positive impact by addressing the competencies and needs of these women, enabling them to flourish and lead fulfilling lives.

Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of knowledge and intellectual stimulation, as well as financial means to meet their aesthetic needs. Through emotional skill development, we contribute to their self-actualization and help them achieve a sense of transcendence.
Humura Homes, meaning is to be lifted up from trouble, opened November 5, 2011. Fourteen street boys moved in on opening day after many of them being on the streets from age 5. These boys came to us with addictions to marijuana, sniffing glue, stealing and fighting as ways to survive. Most of the boys have lost one or both parents and ended up on the streets due to poverty, abuse, or their parents remarrying and the step-parent kicking them out of the home. The goal of Humura Homes is that each boy would come to have a personal relationship with Jesus and to be an example of His life in whatever they do. After a rough couple of adjustment months, the boys are now settled and attending school. Each day they hear God's word spoken and see it lived out in the lives of their house parents and teachers. Many of the boys have been baptized and have a hunger for God's Word. ..
