Overview

Mission

We sent all of our net income to Jitegemee Children's Program in Machakos Kenya which (1) supports needy students to pursue their education, (2) gives vocational training to needy students and supporting them in apprenticeships and (3) supports both groups of students with food, health screening, tutoring, counseling etc.

What it reported doing in 2024

During 2024, we supported 63 primary students, 37 secondary students, 34 post-secondary students and 104 stree business school vocational students (all indigent). We also started a new vocational program in a suburb of Nairobi giving 50 indigent at-risk children vocational training. We gave annual health checkups to all of these students and their parents.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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.
