Where Your Donations Go

Friends of Kenyan Orphans strives to keep administrative costs low: in 2024, nearly 90% of every dollar donated went to programs we support in Kenya.

• Outfitted a home economics room with proper equipment
• Supported 16 high school graduates in advancing to higher education — 23% more than in 2023
• Purchased three new industrial-sized washing machines
• Celebrated 10 higher education students completing their college programs
• Purchased basketball, rugby, and tennis equipment for sports program
• Distributed nearly 4,000 sanitary napkins
• Provided 400 fleece jackets (warmer children = fewer
  colds & flu)
• Upgraded kitchen for efficiency and better ventilation

  building

In addition, there were zero pregnancies and in turn, no school drop-outs due to early pregnancies.

Your dollars are used to support children from childhood through higher education.  Because of your generosity, graduates are able to continue their education and gain employment in their respective areas of study. Through the higher education program, these incredibly deserving girls have gone off to various polytechnic schools and universities, allowing them to study a diverse range of subjects including education, business, engineering, agriculture and supply-chain management.
