Anchored to Grace
A reintegration mission offering hope, purpose, and community to returnees deported to the beautiful island of Tonga.
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” — Hebrews 6:19
A faith-driven mission — rooted, restored, and resilient.
Anchored to Grace Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit walking alongside returnees in Alakifonua, Tonga — offering housing, discipleship, trade skills, and community as they rebuild a life of purpose.
A calling to restore, rebuild, and walk alongside.
Anchored to Grace Foundation is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit operating in Alakifonua, Tonga — serving returnees with housing, discipleship, trade skills, and community as they rebuild a life of purpose.
Inspired by the story of Tunufa’i — deported to a homeland he barely knew — this mission was born to fill the gap returnees face: stigma, isolation, and the long road of starting again.
