What Is the Rhiza Project?
The Rhiza Project is a faith-driven nonprofit on a mission to bring lasting hope to overlooked communities—one root at a time. From clean water and food to education, housing, and discipleship, we partner with local leaders to see revival take root in dry and weary lands.
About Us
Our story begins in a remote village called Khelela, Kenya, where a bold move of obedience sparked a movement of transformation. Over the last few months, God has stirred something miraculous in this place, through the unwavering faith of Pastor Maverick and his wife, Sister Agnes. With no prior connection to the village, they followed God’s call—walking 17 miles a day to minister to a community in desperate need of clean water, sustenance, and spiritual nourishment. Living in a humble mud hut, Pastor Maverick and Sister Agnes took in six orphaned children, not knowing how God would provide—only that He would. Their faith became action. Their action became testimony. And their testimony became an invitation.
We said yes.
Together with Renewed Ministries, we partnered to help bring tangible resources to a place forgotten by most but seen intimately by God. Our first step was installing a solar-powered well to bring clean water to the village—marking the beginning of something deeper: restoration.
From there, we began building. A new orphanage now stands completed. Fifteen children now call it home—with space for 50. They receive daily food, medical care, education, and—most importantly—love and discipleship. God has provided furniture, livestock, and grain—turning the property into a self-sustaining home and hope center for the next generation.
Our Work
But this is only the beginning.
We’re now entering Phase Two: building a permanent church that will anchor the community and disciple hundreds more. Though believers currently gather under a tin roof held up by trees, God is stirring revival. This new structure will serve not only as a church, but as a training center, an outreach hub, and a place of education for the entire region. Local workers are being hired. Families are being supported. Skills are being developed. Lives are being changed.
And the root system is growing.
We believe what God is doing in Khelela is not meant to stay there. This is a seed that will take root and spread across Africa—bringing hope, healing, and salvation to dry and weary lands.
"I don’t say this because I want a gift from you, but because I desire fruit that may abound to your account." — Philippians 4:17
Partner With Us
Will you plant with us?
We’re not just building projects. We’re building people.
We’re not chasing moments—we’re cultivating movements.
This is not charity. It’s legacy.
Not temporary relief—but eternal impact.
When you partner with The Rhiza Project, you’re planting roots in Kingdom soil. Every gift, every trip, every prayer becomes part of a divine story unfolding in places the world overlooks—but God never forgets. Your partnership fuels more than water systems or buildings. It nourishes futures. It restores dignity. It raises sons and daughters in a place where hope once felt impossible.
Here’s how you can plant with us:
Give – Every dollar becomes seed in the soil of revival. Whether it’s $10 or $10,000, your generosity fuels clean water, discipleship, education, housing, and more.
Serve – Want to go beyond the giving? Join us on the ground. From mission trips to hands-on outreach, there’s room for your heart and hands in the harvest.
Share – This story doesn’t end with us. Tell someone. Host a fundraiser. Start a prayer circle. Be the voice that brings others into what God is doing.
Pray – We believe prayer tills the soil before a single tool ever touches the earth. Cover this work in prayer. Pray for the children, the pastors, the workers, the village, and the vision.
Together, we can see the Kingdom of God established in places the world has forgotten—but Heaven never has.
This is good ground. Let’s plant something eternal.
Children’s Orphanage
Completed ✅
A safe haven now providing shelter, education, and love to 47 orphaned children. The facility includes dormitories, classrooms, and recreational spaces designed to nurture both body and spirit. This orphanage is more than a building—it’s a home filled with hope and a foundation for the next generation.
Community Church
In Progress
We are currently building a permanent Community Church that will serve as the heart of Khelela. This spiritual center will provide a place of worship, fellowship, discipleship, and educational programs for children and families. While believers currently gather under a tin roof, this new structure will anchor revival and bring lasting transformation to the region.
