About AFRICAN KIDS IN NEED INC

This profile was researched for EIN 208511103 (formatted as 20-8511103) and that EIN was confirmed to match African Kids In Need Inc through nonprofit filing records and the organization’s own public materials.

African Kids In Need (AKIN) is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2007 to support Kenyan children displaced after the closure of the St. Francis Integrated School. AKIN directs donor funds to school sponsorships, vocational and post-secondary support, mentoring, and small micro-loans to help graduates establish income-generating businesses. The organization operates a Los Angeles office and a field office in Nairobi that is managed in partnership with the African Network for the Prevention and Protection Against Child Abuse and Neglect (ANPPCAN).

AKIN’s recent tax filings indicate continued fundraising and program activity: annual contributions reported in the mid-five-figure to low-six-figure range in the 2022–2024 filings, which the organization uses primarily to pay school fees, supplies, clothing and mentoring support for sponsored students. AKIN emphasizes low administrative overhead and direct donor-to-student support through its sponsorship model and partner-managed services on the ground in Kenya.
