Mission
The Foundation exists to provide assistance to orphans, the poor and the sick in the counties of Kisii and Migori in the Southwest corner of the Republic of Kenya. We do this by providing safe foster homes and by paying all the costs for orphans to attend a primary school for orphans only (Amani Primary School for Orphans), located in the village of Riosiri, Migori County, Kenya. We also partner with community based healthcare providers to sponsor disease awareness and prevention programs and to pay for medicines and hospital care for the poor in the community.
Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Highest-paid independent contractors
No independent contractors reported.
Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
