Sonrise Ministries, Inc.

Sonrise Ministries, Inc. is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) (founded 2009/2010) that provides funding and operational support to child-rescue homes, a girls’ cottage, a community nursery/primary school and a pastoral/church-planting ministry in southeastern Uganda. The organization’s programs are run in-country by former-orphan Ugandan leaders and emphasize rescue, Christian discipleship, education and community resiliency. In recent years Sonrise has remained active and donor-facing: its website and news feed show regular program updates through 2024, it publishes its most recent Form 990, and it reports program activity including school and home operations. Financial filings for the most recent fiscal year show annual contributions and program funding at a level that supports multiple residential homes and an on-site school. Sonrise operates primarily as a grantmaker and operational sponsor for the Sonrise Baby Home, Sonrise Children’s Home, Mirembe Cottage for Girls and Melchizedek Pastoral Ministry, and it supports education for children from its homes and neighboring villages as part of its long-term sustainability work.
