What they do
SUPPORTING THE CHILDREN of EL SHADAI GRACE CENTRE OUTSIDE of NAIROBI KENYA is SAWAS PRIMARY PROJECT. SOME CHILDREN LEFT THE ORPHANAGE DURING COVID, BUT SAWA HAS STILL BEEN ABLE to HELP WITH MEDICAL BILLS and BASIC NEEDS. THERE ARE 3 YOUND ADULTS WHO COMPLETED SECONDARY SCHOOL and AGED OUT of THE ORPHANAGE. IN 2024 SAWA PROVIDED SUPPORT for THEIR TRANSITION and PAID TUITION and LIVING EXPENSES for ONE STUDENT TAKING COLLEGE COURSES. THE NUMBERS IN EL SHADAI CAN VARY, BUT THERE ARE UP to 25 PRIMARY SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN and ABOUT 5 SECONDARY SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN. SAWA HAS STOPPED PAYING SCHOOL FES for NEW ADDITIONS to THE ORPHANAGE DUE to THE DETERIORATION of THE RELATIONSHIP and COMMUNICATION WITH THE ORPHANAGE DIRECTOR, BUT THE FUNDING WE PROVIDE to OPERATE and MAINTAIN THE BUILDING BENEFITS ALL THE CHILDREN. SAWA ALSO COVERS EXPENSES for ALL THE CHILDREN to SUPPORT THIER HEALTH and SAFETY.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
