Overview

Mission

To build and maintain environmentally sustainable health clinics to meet the needs of the medically underserved in latin america (nicaragua).

What it reported doing in 2022

A prenatal nutrition program - using interactive lessons to deliver a 10-week socio-behavioral change curriculum, the organization teaches pregnant mothers about the stages of fetal development, ways to care for their child in the womb, and nutrition during the antenatal and postnatal periods and during the first five years of their children's lives, while providing support and space to build a community of new mothers who support each other. All mothers enrolled in the program and their babies are followed after conception with regular check-ups and training provided both in-community and at clinica verde.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
