Where your donations could go if you are not careful!

Recently, KCIS was contacted by a church charity mission in the USA, Precious Daughters, who explained that they received a donation to be sent to their branch in Kisii district, Kenya.

Precious Daughters asked us that, as we had an office in Kisii, could we visit their representative there and check out their credentials.

We, of course are always ready to help like-minded organisations, and my friend, Vincent went to visit Precious Daughters, in Kisii district.

It took a lot of finding. Vincent visited churches and other organisations to try and find Precisous Daughters.

Eventually, he found them, a man and wife who said that they were looking after a bunch of orphans. But when asked to produce said orphans, they could not. In fact there was not evidence of children living in their house or anywhere else.

When the schools turned out, the man rounded up a load of kids and tried to pass them off as the orphans that he was looking after.However, the kids themselves denied that they had anything to do with this couple!

Conclusion? These people had tried to dupe an organisation that was set up to help the genuinely poor. They will not be receiving any money from Precious Daughters.

But, it is people like this who make it difficult for us, who are genuine, to raise money to do what is needed.
