Overview
Mission
Ephratha house christian ministries operates a christian orphanage in the town of machinjiri in malawi southeastern africa. The current facility is capable of housing ten small children up to age five. Phase one of ephratha house is to move into a larger facility capable of housing between 100-150 children. With thousands of orphaned children in the immediate vicinity, the need is as great as it is urgent. Phase two of ephratha house involves the procurement of agricultural land to support the orphan services. There are crops that can only be grown in the regions around the equator such as coffee, cocoa, and macadamia nuts. Cultivating these geographically sensitive crops will dramatically impact local economies by paying a truly living wage to workers who are too often taken advantage of. In addition to funding our orphan services, phase two serves the dual function of lifting up local communities and providing a witness to god's great love for them in jesus.

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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. 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.
