Programs
Medical carelalmba directly operates three outpatient healthcare facilities in rural africa: the matoso clinic and ochuna dispensary in kenya, and the agaro bushi medium clinic (abmc) in ethiopia. These clinics serve a combined catchment population of roughly 73,000 people.lalmba employs in-country medical professionals who live in the villages where they work. These clinical officers, nurses, lab techs, and pharmacists understand the local culture and the specific health challenges of the region, ranging from hiv and tb to the recent surge of malaria in the ethiopian highlands. Lalmba's facilities function much like urgent care centers in the u.s., equipped with on-site pharmacies and diagnostic labs to ensure patients get treated in one visit. Lalmba operates in close coordination with the kenyan and ethiopian ministries of health to ensure our care meets national standards and fills a critical gap for families living in extreme poverty.fiscal year results: during the fiscal year, lalmba clinics handled over 50,900 patient visits and reached over 14,000 community members through public health education focused on prenatal care, well-baby checks, and immunizations.

The organization operates a dual-model of care: full-time residential support at two children's homes (the ongoro children's home in kenya and the chiri children's home in ethiopia) and the reaching children at risk (rcar) community-based program. The rcar model allows orphaned and vulnerable children to remain in their home communities with guardians, often a single mother, while receiving the resources necessary to thrive and go to school.in the regions where lalmba works, there is no formal social security or retirement infrastructure, leaving disabled and elderly individuals with nowhere to turn. To help ease this struggle, lalmba provides food and basic care for destitute elders to provide comfort and dignity. Additionally, the organization assists disabled individuals through relief programs that provide essential items such as food and mattresses. These efforts aim to stabilize the family unit and ensure that extreme poverty does not…
$417,770 spent53% of program spendingEmpowermentLalmba Association implements economic sustainability and leadership initiatives designed to transition families from dependency to self-sufficiency. A core component of this pillar is the operation of micro-finance programs that provide small business startup loans to heads-of-household, primarily single mothers. A nominal 1% administrative fee and a 12 month repayment schedule is applied to these loans to help offset the local costs of program management and to encourage disciplined business practices among participants. To ensure the success of these entrepreneurs, lalmba partners with successful local business volunteers and teachers who provide mentorship in smart business practices and financial planning.additionally, lalmba invests in "capacity building" for its workforce of over 100 local staff members. By providing leadership training and professional development, the organization ensures that its clinical and administrative operations are led by empowered, high-skilled local professionals who are equipped to manage the organization's long-term future.fiscal year results:micro-finance: the program provided 40 microloans, enabling the receipients, primarily…

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 $861k to $629k (−27%).
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: 2022 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of LALMBA ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $63k → $113k.
11 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 54% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of LALMBA ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
LALMBA ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 29% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
54% 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 LALMBA ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 62% · 2018 41% · 2019 42% · 2020 58% · 2021 57% · 2022 39% · 2023 57% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
69% of LALMBA ASSOCIATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
54% of LALMBA ASSOCIATION'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. Of the $641k that is directly attributable, 73% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 10 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $755k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
