Our Finances

For Every £1 You Donate To TEFT...

An incredible 97p goes directly to changing lives through education at Kisima School. We maximise every penny, driven by passionate volunteers who work closely with Kisima School. Your contribution directly empowers education and changes futures. Together, we make an extraordinary impact!

Information about TEFT's financial and compliance history can be found on the Charity Commission website here. Our charity number is 1087070.

How Kisima School Spends Your Money

Kisima School's primary expense is staff salaries for 25 employees. Some food is grown on school grounds but other food and household items account for 24% of the budget. 16% covers maintenance, utilities, medical care, and supplies.

The annual running cost of Kisima School is around £175,000.

Projects like new classrooms and the ICT centre are funded separately through dedicated fundraising: with support from one of TEFT's major donors, a new classroom block and ICT centre at Kisima School was possible.

Your support makes these vital investments possible!

Where TEFT's Funds Come From

The money that supports Kisima School mainly comes from regular donations from our sponsorship and Friends of Kisima programmes. This helps fund the schools annual running costs and we are grateful to all those who choose to support TEFT financially

But additional funds are still needed each year which is mainly raised through fundraising events and one off donations.

Our long-term vision to keep Kisima School operating is for TEFT to:

- Increase the number of those who become regular givers, to help sustain our mission with monthly income. - Increase monies raised from gift aid as every little helps. - Maintain charity reserves equivalent to one term's running costs to protect the school should there be an unexpected drop in income or an emergency.

Funds to Kisima School are transferred on a termly basis.

Your support is vital for sustaining this mission!
