Overview
Mission
Every village partners with the people of south sudan to provide every village with sustainable access to safe water, healthy churches and the gospel by radio.
What it reported doing in 2024
Radio program: every village continued operating five radio stations, covering a total population of over 3 million people. Ev also sent out another 9,083 solar radios fixed-tuned to ev frequencies, bringing the total radios distributed to 181,083. Whenever ev brings radios, they are sold to the south sudanese for a small price to increase local ownership and involve the south sudanese church in partnership. Some radios are always held back to be given at no cost to the most vulnerable. From the shipments during the year, the south sudanese paid 12,454 to purchase radios. Ev also holds annual listener campaigns asking the south sudanese to make donations to the ongoing operations of their stations. ...................................................continued on schedule o
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.
- 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
