SAIDIA CHILDREN'S CHARITY (KENYA)

Previously registered as Mji wa Neema the charity changed its name in November 2015 to Saidia Children's Charity (Kenya). The charity raises funds for AIDS orphans in the Naivasha and Gilgil area of Kenya. The new orphanage building was completed in Jan 2008, financed almost entirely by this charity. We also support other projects in the area for work amongst children.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 21 years
