We need your help to continue in our efforts to support women and communities in rural Kenya. Private donations are critical to scale the projects’ impact. Most of our funding comes from the institutional donors, at the moment the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland. However we need minimum 7,5 percent of the funding to come from private donors and minimum 7,5 is voluntary work contribution. With the donations we are able to scale the project activities and strengthen the sustainability of the results.
WASH & Grow! And Sowing Equality funding
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland funds around 60% of the project funding and private donors fund around 30 %. Around 10 percent of the funding is voluntary work.
Allocation of funds
The budget is allocated in the following way: 85 percent is used for the project activities in Kenya which includes the technical support from Finland and 15 percent is used for administrational costs in Finland that includes fundraising and general administration of Mifuko Trust.
Monitoring of funds
The use of the project budget is monitored rigorously, following the guidelines of The Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland. We closely monitor both the use of funds and the effectiveness of our work. Our audit process is thorough. The audit is carried out annually both in Kenya and Finland. In Finland the audit is done by Timo Kervinen, Authorised Public Accountant (APA), who also audits the annual reports to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the fundraising statement to the Police Board.
