Food & Rice Provision
Supplying rice and essential food parcels to families facing hunger and hardship — meeting the most immediate need first.
Rice Kitchen Ministries Trust is a Ballymena-based Christian charity providing food, education, employment support and Christian outreach to communities across the Philippines.
Like the rice terraces of Ifugao — carved by hand, sustained over generations — our work is built step by step, gift by gift, family by family.
Rice Kitchen Ministries Trust is a registered charity based in Ballymena, Co. Antrim, run by volunteers who believe practical compassion and the Christian gospel go hand in hand. For over fifteen years we have partnered with communities in the Philippines to provide charitable support, access to public worship, and pathways toward education and employment.
Every rice parcel delivered, every child helped into school, and every family given a route to work is part of a bigger story of hope for communities facing poverty.
“What we give away in Ballymena is small. What it grows into, half a world away, is not.” Rice Kitchen Ministries Trust
Our work moves in stages — much like a terrace itself, each level supporting the one above it.
Supplying rice and essential food parcels to families facing hunger and hardship — meeting the most immediate need first.
Supporting school access and employment pathways so families can build a future that doesn’t depend on the next parcel.
Advancing the Christian faith through access to public worship, fellowship and religious literature — fruit that lasts.
From rice fields to remote villages, our partners on the ground help us reach families who need it most — turning gifts from Ballymena into food, schooling and hope thousands of miles away.
