Through many different situations, a calling
Dr. Isaac Osire was led to start this organisation by a passion to make a difference for those who have physical, mental or emotional disabilities — from birth, or through life's experiences.
Dr. Isaac was in Northern Uganda, working with friends to help a client set up a fish farm. While there, he noticed a woman going in and out of her hut with both her mouth and nose covered, and he felt he needed to check.
Inside was her granddaughter — malnourished and very sick. The girl had taken a little money from her stepmother, and as punishment the stepmother had made her sit on a hot coal fire. Her buttocks and part of her back were badly burned. She was then locked in the house for days, untreated, until her grandmother came to visit, found her, and took her home. That is where Dr. Isaac found her, her wounds still untreated.
Dr. Isaac was deeply disturbed, and cried out to God. In his frustration, he felt a still and peaceful voice speak to him:
“You can be the solution!”
From that point on, Dr. Isaac began finding ways to help youth and children with disabilities. That search became EDYAC.
