About Maggie Josiah
She is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse by both her parents, who forced her to work from age five in the worlds of pornography and prostitution. After she escaped from her parents, Maggie began a new life in Seattle, working quietly in the hospitality industry.
Soon after, she became a Christian and spent the next 18 years getting free from her past suffering and pain. Maggie became active in her church, and eventually became a business owner of both a catering and house cleaning service.

“Turn Right at the Dancing Cow: A Miracle in Uganda” with John Shimer
I met Maggie Josiah in the fall of 2001, when she was the cleaning lady in the common hallways of a very upscale condominium building where my wife and I lived. Through an odd “hallway-conversation-relationship”, we became friends. She kept surprising me with her intelligence, her competency and experience in business (she owned the company that cleaned our hallways), and her art (as she is an accomplished artist).
Then, she went on a missionary trip to Africa for six weeks, and when she returned, she told me she was going back to Uganda and start a vocational school in the bush (read jungle) for the “lost children” of that nation. When I asked her how she was going to make this happen financially, she replied, “I don’t know, but I am certain God will show me the way.”

Creating Futures at the African Hospitality Institute
This led her to found the African Hospitality Institute (AHI). Josiah put together her knowledge gained from working in the hospitality industry for over 25 years and set off to a rural community in Uganda, The Ekitangaala Ranch, in 2006 at the age of 54. There, Josiah constructed a 10 room guest house and developed a vocational training program.
