Is Kenya Orphans Foundation a registered charity?
Yes, we are a fully registered non-profit charity based in the United Kingdom.
Where does my donation actually go?
Because we are a small, independently-run organisation, we have very low overheads. This means your donation goes directly to those in need—funding vital supplies like beds and stationery for orphans or supporting community projects like the Kenya mosque repair.
How can I get involved besides donating money?
We are always looking for passionate volunteers to help us with fundraising, raising awareness, and coordinating projects. Please get in touch with us via our contact page to see how you can help!
I am in Kenya and need help. Can you support me?
We are committed to helping where we can. If you or your community are in need of assistance, please fill out our “Request Help” form. Our team will review your situation to see how we can best provide support.
Are you connected to any large aid organisations?
No, we are a small, independent charity. We were founded by [Founder’s Name] and [Founder’s Name] to create a direct link between donors in the UK and communities in Kenya, ensuring that support is personal, effective, and transparent.
Can I donate physical items like clothes or books?
While we are incredibly grateful for the thought, shipping physical items from the UK to Kenya is very complex and expensive. A monetary donation allows us to buy supplies locally in Kenya, which supports their economy and ensures 100% of your gift goes toward the items themselves, not shipping costs.
How do I know my donation is secure?
We use a secure, encrypted payment processing system for all online donations. You will receive a confirmation receipt for your contribution, and we are happy to provide updates on the projects you are supporting.
Can I choose which project my donation supports?
Yes! When you go to our donation page, you will often have the choice to give to our “General Fund” (which we use where it’s needed most) or to a specific campaign, such as the “Kenya Mosque Repair” or “Orphan Support Fund.”
How do you find and manage your projects in Kenya?
We have built strong relationships with trusted community leaders and local contacts on the ground in Kenya. All projects, like the mosque repair, are requested directly by the community. We stay in close contact to manage the distribution of funds and supplies, ensuring your support is handled responsibly and reaches the intended people.
