Overview

Mission

Jajja's Kids, Inc. is dedicated to improving the quality of life for former street children, by providing funds for education, food, shelter and health care. Our funding helps support a non-governmental organization that we have worked closely with for over 15 years. That NGO provides a home for children who were too poor to attend school and sometimes lived without food or shelter. The NGO also provides the surrounding community with training in English, music and dance. We believe that given the right opportunities, all these children can grow up with the ambition, ability and community support needed to drive their own economic and social futures. This is the purpose of our work.

What it reported doing in 2024

We have one primary program service area: grant funding to an NGO dedicated to the following program activities executed through that organization: 1) A home that houses 20 children, two live-in staff, and office space for five other staff. 2) Monthly expenses in support of the home and children, including food, utilities, staff salaries, household supplies and medical care. 3) School costs that include tuition, uniforms, books, school bags, pencils, paper and porridge.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 80% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
