Susie Djan founded KIDCARE in April 1999, with the assistance and support of her local church, True Vine church (situated in South London in the UK). KIDCARE officially took its first step on Saturday 17th April 1999, by assisting fourteen children from an impoverished village in Uganda and fifteen others in a squatter township in South Africa to attend school. Since then, the organisation has steadily grown from strength to strength.

Apart from the UK, Kidcare has operated in Ghana, India, Kenya, Pakistan, Philippines, Uganda, Ukraine, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Kidcare now provides assistance for over 900 children in several nations through the following means: The Sponsor a Child to school program, assistance given to children’s homes, support for community schools and financial aid given to support small scale business for poor families.  

Kidcare International is a non-profit private company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital (company registered in England NO. 5968235). Kidcare is also a registered UK charity under the Charity Commission England and Wales NO. 1118180.

This means yearly accounting to both Companies House and the Charity Commission here in the UK, which we dutifully comply with yearly. All previous financial accounts and current information can be found on their websites and also the latest copy of our annual reports. An independent accountant regularly examines our accounts, and the executive director and finance administrators monitor our budget and expenses. There is regular accountability to the Directors/ Trustees of the Company and charity.

We are financially accountable to all sponsors and benefactors, and dispense with funds received for the intended purpose.
