Overview
Mission
Hands 4Life pairs orphaned children with orphaned elder adults in developing nations to create a new family unit. We envision a world where there are no orphans. A world where two generations care for each other at all times
What it reported doing in 2025
Intergeneration Home - We are raising money to build an intergenerational home in Nigeria that will house 14 orphan children and 14 orphan elderly adults. Sleeping quarters will be separated by a common area and dining area
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 72% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- No current program activity. The filing reports no program spending for the current year.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
