Overview
Mission
Friends of Asilong supports a marginalized community in a primitive area of Kenya that suffers from the lack of education, health services, clean water, food, and sanitation infrastructure. A missionary church is having a major impact in the community, but lacks the financial capability for projects such as schools, clinics and basic infrastructure development and maintenance. The long-term goal is for Asilong's improvements to be self-sustaining through increased knowledge and experience. Financial and relational support is for training, counseling and encouragement. The Corporation will: 1) Support the development of a high school by constructing facilities, subsidizing operational cost, providing tuition support/scholarships, and managerial advice. 2) Support the community in adult education, cross cultural exchange and developmentasl meetings to address issues such as, health, hygiene, water, peace, and nutrition. 3) Establish special funds to help accomplish these purposes
What it reported doing in 2025
Upgrading and maintenance of the computer lab at the highschool and the internet/networking system that supports the school, church, and community totaling 500+ people. New computers were added and the Internet was upgraded to broadband. Costs included travel expenses for a team of 4 for a 3 week visit to Asilong.

The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
