Overview

Mission

Project Kenya is a 501c3 non-profit Christian organization dedicated to empowering Nationals to achieve freedom from poverty and disease.

What it reported doing in 2025

Feeding program for orphan and vulnerable children in kenya, africa-we are currently feeding over 1000 slum dwellers and 200 street children. In addition, we have instilled a training program for these vulnerable members of society by purchasing a three acre farm. This will expand our efforts in training at a community level. We are also aiding in five public school feeding programs.

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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
