For the Children's Sake Foundation

What For the Children's Sake Foundation does

For the Children's Sake Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2006 by Nancy Price, PhD and William Price, PhD, MDiv, operating from Enumclaw, Washington with field operations in Leboo, Kajiado County, Kenya. Its mission is to serve orphaned, vulnerable, and impoverished Maasai children through Christian education and teacher training. The organization runs three interconnected programs: in-service Professional Development Seminars for teachers and administrators at small Christian schools across Kenya (claiming 3,500+ teachers trained since 2006); the Tenkaraki Inkera Demonstration School (TIDS), a Christ-centered school serving Maasai children from Pre-K through a planned Grade 9, which enrolled 183 students across PP1-Grade 4 in 2026 with 85% meeting or exceeding national test standards; and a School Construction Program to complete the campus at a budgeted $280,000 total cost. It also conducts community outreach in Leboo including clean water provision, feminine hygiene products to support girls' school attendance, health education, and food aid during crises.

The business model is purely donation-driven: the organization collects US tax-deductible contributions through online portals (General Support, Education Support, School Construction), mailed checks, and Qualified Charitable Distributions / Required Minimum Distributions, with no products or services sold. It is also registered as an NGO with the Kenyan government and operates with a dual USA/Kenya Board governance structure. With 1-10 employees and no disclosed technology platforms beyond a website and Mailchimp newsletter, the foundation operates a direct-delivery, lean-staff model with no technology moat, no AI/ML components, and no disclosed institutional donor base. Strategic emphasis is on incremental capacity expansion (one grade per year at TIDS) financed through ongoing donor appeals rather than scale fundraising.

Broad incumbents

• Compassion International: Large Christian child-sponsorship organization operating education, nutrition, and child-development programs across many developing countries including Kenya. Highly comparable target population and Christ-centered education model, but operates at vastly greater scale and broader geographic scope than FTCSF.
• World Vision: One of the largest Christian humanitarian organizations, with significant education, child sponsorship, and community development programs across Africa including Kenya. Comparable mission but at a vastly larger scale with a broader programmatic portfolio than FTCSF's specialized teacher-training + demonstration school focus.
• ChildFund International: International child-sponsorship NGO running education, health, and youth-development programs in Africa and other developing regions. Directly comparable in mission (serving vulnerable children through education) but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Plan International: Global nonprofit focused on children's rights and girls' equality, running education and child-development programs across Africa including Kenya. Comparable target demographic and education focus but secular/non-faith-based and operating at a much larger scale.

Emerging players

• African Library Project: Smaller nonprofit that establishes libraries and supports literacy/education in African communities. Comparable in Africa-focused education mission and small nonprofit scale, but focused on book access rather than teacher training and school operations.

Others

• Living Water International: Faith-based nonprofit delivering clean water access and community development in Africa and Latin America. Comparable Christian community-development model and donor base; specifically comparable through FTCSF's Leboo clean-water outreach component, though education is not its primary focus.

Direct peers

• Rafiki Foundation: Christian nonprofit running demonstration schools (Rafiki Educational Centers) and teacher training across multiple African countries serving orphaned and vulnerable children. Most structurally similar peer — operates a demonstration-school + teacher-training model with a Christian, Africa-focused mission serving at-risk children.
• Food for the Hungry: Christian nonprofit combining child sponsorship, community development, and education programs in Africa and Latin America. Closely comparable in faith-based mission, child-development focus, education programming, and donor-funding model — though operating at significantly larger scale.
