Overview

Mission

Provided direct funding for food, clothing, shelter, and education/tuition costs for children sponsored by the Casaupendo CBO orphanage in Kenya. Children age from elementary age through high school. We care for approximately 33 children orphaned by the loss of both parents, but whom do not qualify for state assistance because they have a living grandparent (grandmother). The grandmothers barely survive and have no resources to care for the children. We have more than 100 additional children on a waiting list to receive support.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided shelter, clothing, food, education (tuition, uniforms, etc) and mentoring to 33 orphaned children in Kenya

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
