Privacy Policy

Lishe kwa Ufanisi (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a community-based feeding programme founded in 2021, operating across three public primary schools in Homa Bay County, Kenya. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors, donors, volunteers, and partners. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information in compliance with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019 and other applicable regional data protection laws.

1.1 Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you interact with our website, such as when you get in touch about donating, sign up to volunteer, request information, or contact us. This may include:

• Identity Data: Full name, or business/organisation name.
• Contact Data: Email address, telephone number, and physical or mailing address.
• Financial Data: We do not currently process donations directly through this website - there is no online payment form and no card or mobile money details are collected here. If you choose to donate, our team will coordinate the transaction with you directly by phone or email, at which point any financial data you share is handled under the terms of the platform (e.g. your bank or mobile money provider) used for that transfer.
• Volunteer & Professional Data: Background information, teaching or volunteering history, or organisational affiliation (for corporate partners such as Cargo Power Logistics).

1.2 How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect for specific, lawful purposes directly tied to our mission of ending classroom hunger:

• Coordinating Donations:To arrange, acknowledge, and account for contributions that fund breaktime porridge ingredients and cooks' salaries.
• Volunteer Coordination: To recruit, screen, and coordinate volunteers assisting with school activities or the feeding programme.
• Programme Communication: To share updates on our impact across Nyabiage, Kobila, and Kodhoch Primary Schools, including attendance and programme milestones.
• Legal Compliance: To meet statutory requirements for community-based organisations operating in Kenya.

1.3 Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your data only under limited circumstances:

• Third-Party Service Providers: Trusted partners who help us operate our website or send communications (for example, our email or hosting providers).
• Legal Obligation: If required by law, court order, or government authority in Kenya, or to protect our rights and the safety of the schools and children we serve.

1.4 Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorised access, loss, or alteration. However, no transmission over the internet or electronic storage is ever 100% secure.

1.5 Your Data Protection Rights

Under the Kenya Data Protection Act, you have the right to:

• Access and request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or updating of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request erasure of your personal data when it is no longer needed.
• Object to or restrict the processing of your data on specific grounds.
