What the accounts disclose
“The main source of income is donations from individual supporters in the UK.”
“Hence the costs for 2025 stayed below the 15% of total income target set by the Trustees, based on their decision implemented in 2015 to retain 15% of income to meet UK costs, so that 85% of all income can be granted to Kenya.”
