Overview
Mission
501 (c)(3) public charity to aid at-risk children in East Africa
What it reported doing in 2025
Grants are directed to recipients, primarily children, who are considered "extreme poor" according to the United Nations. Other program grants include Saala Community Outreach where we minister weekly to 80-100 village children through a meal, games, bible teaching, and Slum Outreach where we weekly visit the Kampala slums to serve homeless slum boys through a meal, counseling, and bible study. We made grant for 2 salaries, the Programs Director and Accountant, and office expenses to support the organization. Lastly, we made a grant for the construction of a large toilet facility in Saala Community to support outreaches, a church, and future school (2027).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. 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.
