Overview

Mission

To bring God glory and love abandoned children in Iquitos, Peru by providing family-styled living and holistic care.

What it reported doing in 2024

In the past four years Go Love opened two homes in Iquitos Peru and has now welcomed in 25+ abandoned orphaned children. They now receive the love of a family three healthy meals a day and access to unlimited clean water. The school aged children have been enrolled in private school and study 5 days a week as well as participate in Karate and other extra curricular activities weekly.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
