Overview
Mission
In CHANGING LIGHTS, our mission is to inspire a meaningful change by living simply and loving unconditionally. Through compassion and action, we work to bring freedom, spark purpose, and create brighter futures. We currently have an orphanage called CAHOPE. Is a home for orphaned children; a program born from the Changing Lights mission to help and protect children. It is a safe, loving place for boys and girls who have faced abandonment, neglect, poverty, or extreme risk. Here, children find protection, care, and a true sense of belonging, allowing them to heal, grow, and build brighter futures rooted in hope.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, we were able to help 7 children in need through our organization. We were able to provide shelter, food, education, and medical expenses.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 81% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
