Questions, answered.

The Mungai Vos family. The fundraiser is organised by the Mbogi brothers — Kim, Robert and Cayley — with Cayley based in the United States. It supports finishing the family's home in Matuu, Machakos County, Kenya, which Brother Kim has led.

GoFundMe can't pay out to Kenya directly, so Cayley receives every donation in a verified United States bank account, then transfers it to the family in Matuu, where it's paid to the contractor stage by stage. This is GoFundMe's own recommended way to raise funds for someone in a country it doesn't yet support.

Almost all of it. GoFundMe deducts a small payment-processing fee from each donation. At checkout it may also invite you to add an optional tip to GoFundMe itself — that tip is entirely your choice and is separate from your gift to us.

No. This is a personal fundraiser, not a registered charity, so donations generally aren't tax-deductible. If that matters for you, please check with your own tax adviser.

The finishing work — floors, doors and windows, plumbing and a septic system, electrical, and final finishes. The land, walls and roof frame are already done. You can see every figure on the Costs & budget page.

We post photo updates on the Updates page every time a stage moves forward, so you can watch the building take shape.

The finished home gives the family a lasting footing for the future. [Edit this line to say what the home means to your family.]

Yes — send us a note through the Contact page and we'll arrange it.

You keep whatever is raised on GoFundMe, so every gift counts even if we don't reach the target. Anything raised beyond the goal goes straight into finishing and furnishing the home.
