Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity experienced heavy losses for the first time due to the expiration of its Kenya Tax Exemption, which impacted company donations. However, the trustees report that the exemption was restored, resulting in a surplus, and the charity currently holds more than three months of cash reserves to cover running costs.
