Continuous teaching, open preaching and personal and public prayer — with practical action behind them.
Our story
Inter-Faith Aid Ministry International Uganda and USA is a domestic, non-profit organisation committed to advancing socio-economic development and promoting education for orphans, poor and needy children in Uganda, East Africa.
The work began as Sanyu Youth Aid Ministries in 1962. In 1966, after founder Rev. David Seremba returned from a church development course in Kitwe, Zambia, Uganda Youth Aid Society was formally established. Over the decades it grew into IFAMI, with chapters and companions in Uganda and the United States.
Our approach is holistic. We pray with people and we work with them: sponsoring students, improving access to healthcare and clean water, supporting elderly clergy and widows, and helping families build sustainable livelihoods.
