Overview
Mission
The purpose of kids across africa foundation is to provide a christian camping and education experience for children in african nations, beginning with rwanda. It is the vision of those who have formed the organization that children in africa would have the opportunity to hear about the love of jesus christ, while experiencing the childhood joys that a camp environment provides.
What it reported doing in 2012
Plans are underway to build a multi-use facility that will primarily operate as a christian athletic camp for the children of rwanda. Initially, we envision camp facilities to sleep and feed 250 children and 100 staff members during twelve 7-day sessions each year. The camp will take a holistic approach - educational, medical, spiritual and social - to train and equip rwandan young people with the purpose of transforming rwanda's youth into christian leaders for tomorrow with impeccable character, integrity and enduring faith. The kids coming into our camps will be the next rwandan teachers, businessmen, medical staff, ambassadors, religious leaders and government officials. Our camp will provide an incredible platform for evangelism and discipleship to the entire country.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue.
