What it reported doing in 2025
Child Protection and Family Strengthening: Conviventia works to prevent psychosocial risks and mitigate their effects on children. Our approach emphasizes equipping families with counseling, guidance, and practical tools to protect children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, or abandonment. We promote safer environments by fostering healthy family dynamics, supporting schools in their protective role, and mobilizing community leaders to be active agents of care. We advance this mission through family therapy, crisis intervention, and programs that restore broken relationships. By addressing root causes and promoting resilience, we help create protective networks where children can grow and thrive in safety and hope.
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 96% of its reported program spending out as grants.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
