CINCO is a grass root NGO operating on a limited budget with most of our workforce team being composed of volunteers. By donating to CINCO, you are giving us the opportunity to continue with our work for targeted communities’ social and economic empowerment.
All funds donated to CINCO are used in one of our many projects to help only the disadvantaged members of the society. CINCO is determined to ensure that funds received are spent where it is needed most – on the many hundreds of thousands who look forward to us to support them in changing their lives. All donations are tax deductible.
Our fundraising and administrative costs are modest at approximately 15 percent of our budget given the environment where we work, with 85 percent of contributions going directly to finance beneficiaries’ projects, celebrations/commemorations/events for advocacy and awareness creation. The 15 percent is used for investing in global systems that stretch the power of your dollar/contributions and includes fundraising and administration, disaster preparedness, reliable systems and bringing on board experts for mitigations and harnessing of sustainable solutions to social issues.
CINCO welcomes donor contributions on how they would wish their cash donations spent for the benefit of our mutual clients/communities. CINCO is always ready to share with the donors our expenditure/accountability statements.
There are multiple ways you can help others to change their lives
- Work creatively and efficiently to ensure there is effectiveness in target community response interventions.

Some of the success stories
A story of Alice Kivai Kavele (Community Health Volunteer – CHV attached to Migosi Community Health Unit – CHU)
It was on Thursday, 14th May 2015, when I was doing my household visitation. I visited one of my households I cover, a “Mr. Otieno’s” family – not his real name. His wife wanted me to go and talk to them as a family. She had three children and had miscarried twice and could not use any family planning method other than condoms as was advised by a doctor. She had been advised to take with her, her husband to Migosi clinic for counselling but he refused. Mr. Otieno is a well off man who would not take advice from little penniless individuals. Having found himself in a slum dwelling, He ensured he had minimal interaction with his neighbours, approximately 500 people within the 100 households under my care.
