The story
Glad's House was founded in 2006 as a non-governmental organisation in Mombasa, Kenya, focused on providing services to the most marginalised street-connected children and youth. The organisation's embedded finance footprint is minimal, primarily involving cross-border FX services (Ebury) to receive and convert international donor funds. There is no evidence of commercial financial product embedding or revenue-generating fintech activity.
