What Your Sponsorship Provides

Daily Meals – ensuring every child has the strength to learn and grow.

Medical Care – access to doctors, medicine, and preventive health support.

Education – school fees, supplies, and tutoring that open doors for their future.

Safe Housing – a clean, secure, and loving environment in our orphanage.

Discipleship & Love – mentorship, prayer, and training in God’s Word.

What We Do

Change a Life. Plant a Future.

Every child deserves clean water, food, education, and the love of Jesus. In Khelela, Kenya, many children have been orphaned or abandoned—left vulnerable to poverty, sickness, and hopelessness. But through The Rhiza Project, you have the opportunity to step in and rewrite their story.


When you sponsor a child, you’re not just giving money—you’re planting hope that will grow for generations.

Why Sponsorship Matters


Sponsorship isn’t about charity—it’s about family. It’s about a child who no longer feels forgotten. It’s about giving dignity, stability, and hope.

You will receive:

  • A photo and story of the child you sponsor.
  • Updates on their progress, schoolwork, and spiritual growth.
  • The opportunity to send letters, encouragement, and prayers.


Together, we are raising sons and daughters who will become leaders, disciples, and change-makers in their community.
