FUNDRAISING FOR SAFE HOUSE

By Dans Odhiambo | Director

 

Project Report: Building a Shelter for Kenya’s Orphans.

Organization: Feed Everyone (Kenya)

Reporting Period: Through January 12, 2026

Project Status: Fundraising Phase

 

1. Executive Summary

 

At Feed Everyone (Kenya), our mission is to provide more than just meals; we aim to provide a foundation for life. Our current primary objective is to build a spacious, safe, and modern shelter for needy orphans who currently lack a stable environment. This report provides an honest update on our progress during the most recent period ending January 12th, 2026.

 

2. Financial Update & Challenges

 

Transparency is a core value of our partnership with GlobalGiving and our supporters. We must report that our fundraising efforts for this period have faced significant hurdles:

 Total Raised This Period: $39

  Performance vs. Goal: Currently below 5% of our target goal.

 

  Key Obstacles

 

Our strategy relied heavily on local donations within Kenya. Unfortunately, economic shifts and local financial constraints made it difficult for our traditional community donors to contribute at the levels we anticipated. This shortfall has slowed our timeline for breaking ground on the new shelter.

 

3. The Urgent Need

 

A Home for the Future.

 

Despite the slow start in funding, the need on the ground remains critical. The orphans we serve are currently in overcrowded or temporary facilities that do not meet the standards of dignity and safety they deserve.

 

Our Goal

 

To construct a facility that includes:

 i) Spacious sleeping quarters.

 ii) A dedicated dining and study area.

 iii) Sanitary washrooms and clean water access.

 iv) A secure playground for physical development.

 

 

4. A Heartfelt Request to Our Global Community

 

 

We are calling upon our kindest donors and well-wishers to help us bridge this gap. We know that the goal of a $39 collection is just a starting point, and with your support, we can turn this around.

Your contribution—no matter the size—tells these children that they are not forgotten. It helps us move past the local challenges we've faced and brings us one step closer to laying the first brick of their new home.

"A small act of kindness is a giant leap for a child in need."

 

How You Can Help

 

 a) Donate: Even a small gift helps us build momentum.

 b)Share: Forward this report to your network to help us reach beyond our local community.

 c) Commit: Monthly giving provides the stable outlook we need to plan construction.

 

Thank you GlobalGiving, thank you kindest donors of GlobalGiving, and the entire wo

rld community supporting different situations.
