Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Friends of Kijabe’s main mission is to be the financial catalyst that AIC Kijabe Hospital in Kenya might be a leader in African healthcare by:
1. Ensuring high-quality, compassionate, affordable medical services are available to all patients.
2. Supporting excellent medical education with discipleship and leadership development focus.
3. Funding strategic infrastructure projects so Kijabe physicians can offer world-class treatment in
beautiful, well-equipped facilities.

Cultivate a healthy narrative concerning interaction between healthcare providers in Kenya and donors in the Americas/Europe/Australia.

Frequent communication with the goals of education, storytelling, and call to action.

Cultivating a team aligning closely with Kijabe Hospital vision, not dependent solely on expat storytelling/reporting will be important for longevity.

Empower board members and key hospital staff to work together toward project goals.

Develop an involved, engaged core donor base providing continuous revenue for training and needy patients and utilize networks to fund capital/equipment projects.

Empower donors to fulfill personal, professional and religious goals in philanthropy and service to humanity.

Prove that investment in African healthcare can be effective and managed with integrity.

Advantages - 50/50 missionary and Kenyan consultant doctor staff in Kijabe provide access to international audience and best perspective on carrying out the mission within the Kenyan context. .

Long history of medical workers volunteering at Kijabe Hospital means a great number of people worldwide are invested in the core mission and values. Friends of Kijabe exists to give people who already care the opportunity to give.

In the past five years churches, organizations, individuals, and families donated $2,575,639 to heal 1,000 patients, provide 20 student scholarships, complete a student housing project, construct a new operating theatre complex, upgrade a maternity unit, purchase pathology and surgical equipment, outfit the pediatric intensive care neonatal intensive care units, and to purchase PPE and provide outpatient subsidies during the pandemic. This all supported the larger Kijabe Hospital system to provide compassionate care for 1,000,000 outpatient visitors, 100,000 inpatient admissions and 40,000 surgeries.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
