SHINA INC.
HAS BEEN GIVEN THE BEST IN AMERICA
SEAL OF EXCELLENCE

award

The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.  

 
 
SHINA, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization founded in 2002 based in Maryland.  The word Shina (pronounced sh-EE-na) is derived fbrom the Kiswahili language meaning: "roots" and/or the "thick trunk" of a tree. Through our programs in the United States and Africa, Shina produces a deep rooted foundation for a healthy and strong community.
