Programs
Child sponsorship program: student programs - we believe that one key to unlocking future transformation is quality education, so we do anything we can to ensure children have every opportunity to attend school, receive training, and grow healthy. Kenya hope provides a daily feeding program for all students attending schools across our hope centers. We also provide sponsorship opportunities for the students most in-need, which currently includes 142 students, and for 40 per month, pays their school fees, uniforms, and daily lunch. Kenya hope also provides other necessities and opportunities, including a program for adolescent-aged females to learn the essentials of puberty, personal health, and hygiene to allow them to stay in school throughout the year.

This year, we built new classrooms, teacher housing units, community halls, church buildings, and other critical infrastucture to many of our centers. These developments are essential to helping us provide space and opportunities for children, women, families, and the communityall to help us achieve our mission of transforming lives.

Each cohort of 6-8 women spends two years learning new skills, like breadmaking, soapmaking, tailoring, and sewing, while also learning how to start and operate a business to provide a reliable income for their family and to help them be seen as valuable members of their community. Each widow is sponsored by a donor in the united states for 65 per month, which provides for the costs associated to the teaching and development of the program, including monthly food rations, the teaching, and supplies to learn their skills.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $479k to $639k (+33%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of CHILD REFUGE CENTERS INTERNATIONAL INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $12k → $148k.
5 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CHILD REFUGE CENTERS INTERNATIONAL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CHILD REFUGE CENTERS INTERNATIONAL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 78% · 2022 99% · 2023 51% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
100% of CHILD REFUGE CENTERS INTERNATIONAL INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $580k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
