In addition to buying and donating food and fruits we receive used clean clothes and blankets from our donors and then donated all to the homeless poor. For used items received no tax receipts were issued. B. Orphanage & Schools Program in Kenya: (2) Since November 2012 we have been operating and directly managing our Dr. Njenga Foundation orphanage that accommodates 23 orphans at a village called Kamuchege in Kiambu District Kenya. These children are going to various schools in Kenya (primary school High schools and colleges). Two Nannies are employed to take care of these orphans. Only these Nannies in Kenya are paid Salaries . No other person is paid salary. (3) The Orphanage in Kenya now have one permanent dormitory for girls a temporary dormitory for boys a temporary kitchen a modern septic field and we have installed electricity and water pump that help pump water from the excavated 120ft deep bore hole/water well. There is a new strategic plan in Kenya that indicates that in future all children in orphanages and children homes will be integrated into their guardians or immediate family homes. When this occurs this charity will continue paying for their school fees and school requirements but will not support their families with anything else. (4) Advocating for healthy education and testing . No money has been used for this activity. (5) We also urge our supporters to donate blood through BC blood donor bank to help those that need blood transfusion through Canadian health system. Such needy people includes people living with HIV/AIDs Leukemia and Cancer etc. (6) All directors and volunteers were not paid any salaries or benefits. The estimated total time donated was about 600 hours.
