Grace Calvary Ministries is a Christian charitable organisation in Kakamega, Kenya, that rescues and cares for orphaned and vulnerable children. We provide a safe home, daily meals, school fees, healthcare and discipleship so every child can grow up with hope and a future.
We are based in Isukha North, Kakamega County, Kenya, in Western Kenya. If you would like to visit, please contact us in advance.
Yes. Grace Calvary Ministries is registered in Kenya under Registration No. DSD/37/209/02/78832.
We currently care for over 100 orphaned and vulnerable children, and the number keeps growing as more children in need are brought to us.
The ministry was founded by Phinora Analo. After years serving children in Uganda, she returned home to Kenya and found many children homeless, out of school and alone, and decided to rescue them. You can read her story on our About page.
AmoraRise ("love that lifts others") is our community initiative. It provides sanitary pads and menstrual-health education to girls, mentors boys to grow into responsible young men, supports vulnerable families, the elderly and persons with disabilities, and runs community awareness on dignity and inclusion.
