OUR HISTORY
The Lift Up The Banner International Ministries vision began years ago when founder Matthew Kiyega,formerly a street kid on the streets of Kampala, accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, from there he knew that God loved him and knew him before he was formed his Mother’s womb as quoted from Jeremiah 1:4-5. As a devout Christian, his dream was to make a difference to the lives of children still living on the streets and those living and dying in poverty.
In the beginning our mission was evangelism outreach, but subsequently we decided to join efforts, to make a real difference to the disadvantaged communities and more people who need our help and support. Our main goals are empowerment and self sustainability which can be achieved through the following initiatives: educational, healthcare, Agricultural, job creation etc. These initiatives have the potential to make a dramatic difference in the communities
