Correction: In our recent episode, we incorrectly referred to Kyampisi Childcare Ministries as a "partner" of N2Gives. While Real Producers has supported Kyampisi Childcare Ministries, we wish to clarify that N2Gives is not a partner of Kyampisi Childcare Ministries, nor is it otherwise associated with or endorsed by N2Gives. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

In Uganda, the horror of child sacrifice persists, driven by a chilling belief that such acts can bring wealth and power. Many who may not even believe in witchcraft see it as an opportunity to exploit and manipulate, taking advantage of vulnerable communities.

Imagine the anguish of families torn apart by the loss of innocent children, sacrificed for the promise of prosperity.

This gruesome reality is what Peter Sewakiryanga confronts daily through Kyampisi Childcare Ministries (KCM).

Peter and KCM tirelessly work to eradicate child sacrifice by offering love, support, and practical assistance to affected families. Through education, community outreach, and advocacy, they are pioneering a path towards healing and justice.

In this episode, executive director at Kyampisi Childcare Ministries in Uganda joins me to talk about the dark reality of child sacrifice, why it is still rife despite many attempts to abolish it and how KCM is bringing justice to victims and their families.

There is a lack of awareness and there is a fear of addressing the issue because somehow people believe that these spiritual powers that witch doctors have will attack them so the best thing to do is ignore it. -Peter M Sewakiryanga

Guest Bio

Peter M Sewakiryanga, a Ugandan Pastor and leader of Kyampisi Childcare Ministries (KCM), is dedicated to eradicating child sacrifice in Uganda. His vision centers on eliminating this practice through the power of love. His multifaceted approach includes seeking justice for the victims, providing care for survivors and their families, and fostering transformation in communities ravaged by this barbarism.

The village of Kyampisi, situated an hour from Uganda's capital, serves as the epicenter of this tragic issue. In 2008, Peter made a deliberate decision to relocate there. He established a church and a school, recognizing the need for improved healthcare and envisioning the establishment of a clinic as part of his mission.
