Our Story — Ryvanz-Mia Charity
Our Story

From an open door to a growing mission of hope.

Ryvanz-Mia Charity began with compassion for vulnerable children—and grew into a commitment to provide food, education, and support that restores dignity for families in Ghana and Uganda.

HOW IT STARTED

A simple act of care became a lasting commitment.

Our story began in 2006 with a loving family in Ghana who open their doors to care for vulnerable children—providing shelter, nourishment, and education support. Over time, that compassion grew into organized outreach and long-term programs that continue to change lives today.

Our Journey

A few defining moments that shaped the mission—built on compassion, faith, and consistent service.

About Us
The Beginning

Love opened the first door

The name Ryvanz-Mia was born out of deep personal loss. After our founder lost beloved family members, including her daughter, she made a heartfelt decision: instead of allowing grief to have the final word, she would turn her pain into purpose by caring for orphans and vulnerable children.

Growth

Support expanded beyond one home

What began as a small orphan care initiative in Kpando-Ghana grew into a registered charitable organization. In 2006, Ryvanz-Mia was officially established and recognized in Ghana. As needs increased and more partners joined the journey, the vision expanded—to support not only children in homes, but also widows, caregivers and whole communities.

Today

A cross-border mission of hope

In 2020, Ryvanz-Mia Charity Corp. was registered as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization in the United States, creating a bridge between compassionate friends around the world and the children and families we serve in Africa.

It Started with a Burden for
Children No One Saw

The name Ryvanz-Mia Charity was born out of deep personal tragedy. After losing her beloved family members, our founder made a life-changing decision—to turn her pain into purpose by dedicating her life to caring for orphans. Together with Mama Esi and Ven, she began supporting vulnerable children right from her own home in Ghana. The home was lovingly named after her daughter Ryvanz and the very first volunteer, Mia.

What began as a simple, heart-level response—visiting widows, offering food support, and paying school fees one child at a time—quickly grew into something much larger. This small act of love evolved into a mission that has now transformed the lives of hundreds of orphans and vulnerable children, giving them hope, education, and a renewed chance at life. In 2006, the work became formal when Ryvanz-Mia Childcare Ghana was officially registered as a charitable nonprofit organization.

As community needs increased, so did the commitment. In 2020, Ryvanz-Mia Charity Corp. expanded its reach by becoming a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization in the United States, ensuring greater accountability, integrity, and structure for global support. Today, we continue to grow through a range of life-changing initiatives—including education sponsorships, feeding programs, widow support, and sustainable farming projects—all while trusting God for strength, wisdom, and dedicated partners.
