Overview

Mission

Doors exists to inspire and empower the ugandan community, and other local communities, by creating disciples of jesus. Discipleship is defined as the act of creating reflections of christs through the modeling of love and intentional teaching of the word, by accountability and a genuine desire to do life with and come alongside in expectation that disciples will multiply.

What it reported doing in 2016

Doors home & joshua home : doors home is a home for former street boys, with a focus beyond just removing boys from their lives on the streets. The boys are welcomed into a redemptive family at doors home through spiritual guidance, education, and discipleship. The boys live in community and family style housing with rooms separated by age groups. Education, housing, meals, counseling, discipleship, and health service costs are all covered and provided for each of the boys. The boys are responsible for daily chores and attending daily planned activities such as home-school, prep time, extracurricular activities, meals, bible studies, house meetings, and individual counseling sessions. Every boy is encouraged to and guided in therapeutic reconciliation with remaining family members. Doors also aims to resettle children back with their families when possible. The joshua home is a transitional living home for residents that have graduated out of the doors home by reaching the age of 18 but are still working towards completion of their primary and secondary studies. The aim of the joshua home is to prepare the boys for independent living upon completion of secondary studies that they may chase the passions and desires that god puts in their hearts. The boys live in community alongside two uncles who lead by example of what it looks like to live as a christian man, and who advise, disciple, and counsel the boys. The boys earn money for their meals and other weekly budget needs through a point system by serving as ministry interns and completing certain ministry-related tasks and jobs outside of their daily chores to earn a set number of points each week. The boys are required to attend doors mission school while living in the joshua home and commit to completing their studies and developing an exit plan within 3 years of residing in the joshua home.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
