Kerith Ministries was established in 2009 by Pastor Samuel Mwesigwa and his wife Mercy in Pallisa, Uganda.  Kerith Ministries was created with a mission to serve and protect the most vulnerable children and to share the love of Christ within the Pallisa community.  The ministry strives to carry out this mission by focusing on activities and resources that involve fostering and protecting orphans.  These resources include delivering quality health care services to vulnerable families, providing quality education, and sharing a holistic Gospel message of hope with the local community.  

Kerith Ministries is a derivative of the preaching and teaching ministry of River of God Full Gospel Church, which Pastor Sam founded as a church-plant in the district of Pallisa.  The couple also started a primary school that currently has over 250 students in attendance each day.  After Pastor Sam and his wife took in 6 orphans and began fostering them at their home they decided to open Kerith Children's Home in 2014.  Kerith Children's Home is now a permanent home to 36 children between the ages of 3-16 years of age, who were either orphaned, neglected or abandoned.  Kerith Children's Home provides these precious children with a nurturing, Christ-centered home, nutitious food, health care, education, clothing, school supplies and other personal care items.  

Kerith Ministries is also involved in numerous agricultural projects that provide a consistent source of food for the children at Kerith Children's Home and River of God Primary School.  Their hope is to become completely self sustaining through the the income generated by their agricultural and farming endeavors.
