Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $30,677 spent. A total of $27,609.30 was used to pay Tuition, room & board, and buy Uniforms. A total of $3,067.70 was used to support women and men groups' goat and chicken rearing entrepreneurial projects.Because of Bidii donors, 56 secondary school students are still in school today, focused on exams instead of tuition, dreaming about careers instead of worrying about dropping out. These are not statistics; these are future teachers, nurses, engineers, and leaders who now know that someone believes in them. Because of Bidii donors, 40 university and college students have safe room and board as they pursue higher education. You funded dignity, stability, and the freedom to study without fear. And because excellence deserves recognition, in 2025 Bidii donors helped us reward academic achievement at its very foundation. Bidii Foundation presented merit awards to junior secondary school students who performed well in the national KJSEA examinations. We awarded shopping vouchers to 20 top-performing students drawn from our community schools. To a young learner, it sends a powerful message: Hard work is seen. Excellence is rewarded. Your future matters. That is how confidence is built, early. Strengthening the Community that Raises the Child We also know something essential: A child's success is only as strong as the community that surrounds them. In 2025, the Foundation widened the circle of impact: Bidii donors helped us support two chicken-rearing projects involving 29 men and women, turning backyards into businesses and daily chores into income streams. Bidii donors helped us launch one goat-rearing project for 16 community members, because sometimes empowerment begins with patience, and good stewardship. Bidii donors also made it possible for 7 individuals to pursue empowerment projects of their own choosing, because dignity grows fastest when people are trusted to shape their own solutions. On December 24th, 2025, the Foundation hosted a merit event that motivated a total of 250 students and 50 parents not to give up. All administrative costs are directly tied to program service delivery.
