Overview

Mission

Bringing hope and healing to the world one child at a time

What it reported doing in 2025

The kings embrace has built a residential boys home with the capacity to house 80 boys. Boys who were previously surviving on the streets are brought into the home and provided food, lodging, medical care, education opportunities, and a loving environment. Boys served by this ministry increased by 12. The kings embrace operates a drop-in center in bungoma town which gives temporary food, shelter, and medical care to boys still living on the streets. Food baskets were distributed to underprivileged neighbors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
