At the heart of HOCAM is our steadfast commitment to children. As Psalm 127:3 reminds us, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward from Him.” We believe that every child is a precious blessing, entrusted to our care by God, deserving of love, nurturing, and the opportunity to flourish. Our mission is rooted in this divine truth: serving children is not merely a task—it is a sacred calling, guided by faith, compassion, and a desire to fulfill God’s purpose in their lives.
Our story
In 2011, Pastor John Akiza responded to the overwhelming needs of his community in Kalonga, Uganda, founding Hope & Care Ministries (HOCAM) to be a beacon of hope. Driven by compassion, HOCAM was established to address the unique challenges faced by fatherless children and widows.
What began as a small fellowship of believers has blossomed into a ministry dedicated to caring for orphans and needy children, supporting families, and empowering youth. Our journey is a commitment not only to meeting immediate needs but also to enabling long-term growth. Today, HOCAM’s reach extends further, touching lives, inspiring transformation, and helping individuals fulfill their divine purpose.
