What Your Investment in Karama Does

"Percent spent on charitable purpose" is the portion of a charity's total expenses that are spent on their programs. In the view of the American Institute of Philantropy, 60% or greater is reasonable for most charities with the remaining percentage spent on fundraising and general administration. The Karama Connection spends 89% of its budget in support of it's projects.

The Karama Connection spends only 11% of its budget on operational and fundraising expenses. No one at the Karama Connection receives a salary of any kind. Our mandate is to help provide the best care for the children of Arusha. One of the best ways for us to do that is to keep our expenses low.
