New Beginnings Ministries - Ujima is a ministry that came into the urban communities housing projects and held street gatherings to include clowns for the youth, interactions with the residents and brought a message of hope to communities that would not go into local institutions of help for fear of rejection and/or ridicule. New Beginnings connected families with viable resources and became a safe haven for youth who needed a place to be from the streets and sometimes, from their homes. New Beginnings Ministries - Ujima continues to operate through the lives of the people that they have touched in the Washington, D.C. area and now in Miami, Florida.
