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.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

No grants to this charity appear in 360Giving data.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.

5 trustees run the charity.
