Overview

What it reported doing in 2025

Comprehensive Healthcare Center. Equal As One runs a comprehensive healthcare center that provides primary, maternal and emergency healthcare in rural Nigeria where access to healthcare is limited. In 2025, $112,089.29 went directly to our clinic program. It serves a community of approximately 50,000 people, and nearly 10,000 patients have now visited our clinic at least once. We used nearly double our usual funds this year because we were able to expand and open a laboratory and radiology section of our clinic as well, purchasing x-ray equipment and lab equipment. Our maternal/infant program has expanded; we're now delivering an average of 12 babies per month!

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
