What Project 82 Kenya, Inc. does

Project 82 Kenya, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Christian humanitarian nonprofit organization incorporated in Georgia (Marietta, USA) and founded in 2009, focused on supporting orphans and vulnerable children in Kenya. The organization operates two primary physical programs in Kenya: Neema House Infant Rescue Centre in Nanyuki (a transitional home for abandoned babies with capacity for up to 30 infants, focused on family reunification and local Kenyan adoption), and Molo House of Hope in Nakuru (a community-based care and education support program). Adjacent programs include the Guardian Program (microenterprise training in baking, knitting, sewing, welding, computers, and bookkeeping for caregiver families), the Tulee Mwana Ministry (maternal support for vulnerable pregnant women to prevent baby abandonment), and the Molo Child Sponsorship Program (pooled monthly donations covering tuition, uniforms, and tutoring for 200+ children).

The organization's revenue model is a recurring-donation nonprofit model with five streams: monthly child sponsorship contributions, infant rescue center sponsorship, general ministry donations, mission trip fees, and planned giving/legacy gifts. Donations are pooled at the community level rather than tied to individual children, and are tax-deductible under 501(c)(3) status. The go-to-market motion is community-led, leveraging US and Kenyan church partnerships, event-driven mission trips to Kenya, and direct-to-consumer donation flows through the website and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube). The organization holds ECFA accreditation and is a CAFO member, conducting annual independent audits in both Kenya and the US. Cumulative outcomes reported include 350+ babies rescued, 250+ family reunifications, 150+ local adoptions, 200+ children sponsored through school, and 200+ guardian families achieving self-sustainability.

Leadership is led by Brandon Dasinger (Executive Director, also serving as a pastor at Saint Peter and Saint Paul Episcopal Church in Marietta, GA) and Annie Coppedge Karuiki (Missionary and Neema House operator), supported by a 16-member board of directors. The US office is staffed by an Administrative Assistant and Executive Director, while Kenya operations are staffed by social workers, case workers, nurses, foster parents, house mothers, and counselors. The organization has no proprietary technology product; it is a service-delivery nonprofit.

• Lifesong for Orphans: Faith-based nonprofit focused on orphan care through child sponsorship, family preservation, and adoption support, with operations in multiple countries including Africa. Closely comparable model (sponsorship + family-based care + missions) and similar faith-based donor GTM.
• 127 Worldwide: Faith-based organization focused on vulnerable children with field operations in Haiti, Uganda, India, and other developing regions. Comparable faith-based GTM and child-sponsorship/residential-care model at similar scale.
• Rapha International: Faith-based organization dedicated to the rescue, recovery, and restoration of child survivors of trafficking. Comparable faith-based GTM and direct-service model targeting vulnerable children in developing countries.

Broad incumbents

• Compassion International: The largest Christian child sponsorship organization globally, operating across dozens of developing countries with a comparable pooled-sponsorship model. Massive scale incumbent with overlapping mission and donor base, though much broader geographic and program footprint.
• International Justice Mission: Faith-based global organization protecting the poor from violence and exploitation, including child rescue and aftercare. Comparable faith-based identity and vulnerable-child protection focus, but legal-protection/advocacy specialization rather than orphan sponsorship.
• World Vision: Large global humanitarian organization with child sponsorship, community development, and emergency relief programs across Africa and beyond. Overlapping mission and donor channel (church partnerships), but much broader program portfolio and secular-leaning operations.
