Overview

Mission

Caring for orphans and children in need.

What it reported doing in 2024

School and feeding program in luweero, uganda: education and feeding of 400 children daily. Furnished dormatory, medical care, solar power and water lines, teacher and caregiver salaries, boarding for 200 orphaned/homeless children on our campus, construction of new high school, teaching materials and testing fees.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and assets have declined or grown slowly.
