What Thrive Kenya does
Mission
Thrive Kenya supports over 400 orphaned, abandoned, abused, neglected, and vulnerable impoverished children living in the rural area of Homa Bay County, Kenya and in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya. Our vision for every child is that they grow up in a loving family based environment, building a foundation to thrive in an independent and self sustaining life. The problem is that across Kenya, countless children are orphaned, abandoned, or separated from family because of poverty or crisis. Without safe loving care and education, they face risks that can shape the rest of their lives. Our belief is that every child deserves a safe family, quality education, and the chance to become a thriving, self reliant adult. Our approach is to provide child centered, family-focused care that nurtures emotional security and belonging within a supportive family environment.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
In 2025, Thrive Kenya's 4th full year of operations, we clarified and renewed our overall vision and mission to position ourselves with the future of vulnerable children care in Kenya. Our accomplishments include a partnership with the Kenyan government who approved Thrive Kenya's plan in that we are embracing many elements of the Kenya Care Reform Strategy. We also continue to acquire land in Homa Bay for future vision planning. We began the planning of building a Junior Secondary School on our campus that will result in bringing all our 30 Juniors back to campus. We supported over 80 children from the community who live with their families by providing them with free education. We drafted our reintegration plan that involves family tracing and assessments as we begin to reintegrate children back into their families when we deem it safe to do so. We began our plans to build a foster care village on our Homa Bay campus for those children who are not able to reintegrate back to their families, can come to our campus and live in family modular housing, where all siblings live together, with no more than 8 children per home, and under the care of a well-trained matron or foster care…

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 99% 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 THRIVE KENYA’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
THRIVE KENYA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% 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 THRIVE KENYA.
“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.
Where its funders are
99% of THRIVE KENYA'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 $500 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Minnesota funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $40k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
