Overview
Mission
The mission is to support community organizing to jointly address malnutrition especially among children, pregnant women and new mothers; and to train women to enter the workforce and become engaged community leaders. This involves training people (especially community leaders), equipping them with basic cooking infrastructure (water purification, cooking utensils, etc.), providing them with basic ingredients as needed, and providing communities with basic public health trainings and supplies (sanitizer, masks, scales, etc.).
What it reported doing in 2024
2024 saw a continuation of our budget and projects for basic public health supplies. Basic cleaning materials were purchased for our communities so volunteers could safely prepare meals and children safely collect the food made available to them. Our nutrition-program focused health supplies included scales, measuring tapes, and trainings on hygiene, nutrition, and sanitary cooking procedures. Grants were given to health professionals to train and assist in this work.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 62% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
