Do you trust Agaptivity?
It is our effort and aim sending as much means as possible to the needy in Kisumu Kenya.
It is also our effort and aim to document all money flow. Both from Agaptivity's end and from Kenya's end. We want to show you all expenses and costs for the organisation and where the means are going. It will all be displayed in public spreadsheets and copies of all receipts. We beg of your patience for building all this up.
From Agaptivity's end you will find the documentation here. Here you will see the organisations economic flow from the start. The spreadsheet is to be found under the Documentation tab.
Agaptivity is a registered company with a Company Registration Number (802494-5332). The rules are freeing us from bookkeeping and annual statements. The limit is at about $179.000. However, we will be bookkeeping and giving out annual statements to show that all our workings are honest and legitimate.
Not a dime is going to the admins of the organisation. We are doing all this on a voluntarily basis and aim at keeping it at that as long as it is possible. All members of the Board are also members of Agaptivity. All are paying membership contributions and some have also donated money upon that. The input from the members of the Board is high, not only in money but also in time building the organisation up with all documentation and webpages.
It is our aim in keeping all costs at a minimum. Our expenses so far is two domain names. Cost $17.75
The only costs are really transfer fees and this is more or less unavoidable. When we get a more steady flow of means we will be able to send money directly to a bank account in Kenya (if the fees are preferable that is). As it is now the only option have been using Western Union. The situation is forcing us to use urgent methods.
The more members and donors we get, the better things will be. It will make our ability to be more effective economically and start working against the bigger goals.
