Pr Kayanja scoops yet another global award for feeding the hungry

______________

Pastor Robert Kayanja and the entire Robert Kayanja Ministries have crowned the week with good news about yet another global award for feeding the hungry and innovative leadership.

The lead pastor at Rubaga Miracle Centre Cathedral in Kampala broke the good news on Friday in a short video posted on his personal and ministry social media accounts, celebrating a ward alongside his wife, Pastor Jessica Kayanja, in France.

Kayanja scooped the Innovative Mindset and Ideological Transformation Champion Award during the Asia-Africa 2025 Summit hosted in Paris.

At the summit, leaders driving impactful change across the continents were recognised.

“Hello, beloved, our friends and partners, people who love us and who we do love. Thank you so much. We have just received this award, Parish France Edition 2025. They have given us this award because of what we do. Thank you for praying for us and believing in God,” Kayanja said.



The award celebrated Kayanja's humanitarian leadership through Afri-Aid and the Robert Kayanja Bucket Initiative.

The awards testimonial recognised that Kayanja’s leadership of the Robert Kayanja Ministries during the COVID-19 pandemic fed over 50,000 families on top of 8,000 tons delivered to South Sudan.

In support of the husband, Pastor Jessica Kayanja remarked, “This award has been given to us in recognition of an innovative mindset and ideological transformation champion award. I want to thank all of you, our partners, our friends and everyone who has helped us champion support for the needy, especially Karamoja. This award is not ours; this award belongs to you. Thank you very much and God richly bless you.”

The Kayanja Ministries last year scooped a prestigious international humanitarian award for feeding Karamoja and conflict-riddled South Sudan.

The Global Humanitarian Award 2024 recognised and celebrated influential non-profit organisations committed to community service and societal advancement.

Pastor Kayanja and his ministry received international recognition for their humanitarian efforts, specifically for aiding the food-insecure Karamoja and South Sudan, which have witnessed years of conflicts and bad weather.

For over four decades of the ministry, Pastor Kayanja has not limited his gospel to spiritual redemption, but to the entire well-being of humanity by, among others, supporting the education of needy children, encouraging Christians in social-economic initiatives and humanitarian support.

To date, millions of people, per the global humanitarian reports, are still enduring hunger-related difficulties across South Sudan, a country of roughly 12 million people that seceded from Sudan in 2011.

Kayanja has also, since 2022, been implementing a campaign to feed Karamoja, which has suffered food insecurity among others, occasioned by insecurity and drastic weather-related bottlenecks.

The campaign has since transitioned from the donation of food ferried to Karamoja in aid caravans from Kampala to growing food on Karamoja soil.

“If Ugandans really want Karamoja to change, we need to get into farming,” Kayanja said as he launched the campaign to grow food in Karamoja.

Kayanja is also the founder and lead Pastor of the Miracle Centre Cathedral, a Pentecostal megachurch in Kampala.
