Overview

Mission

Our mission is to create symbiotic networks of learning and investment between the developed and developing worlds. Our vision is that this will bridge the gap between rich and poor, give people in disadvantaged situations a good start to life, and bring hope to a new generation. Heal the world is in the organizing stages of creating an online university focused on west africa.

What it reported doing in 2011

Heal the world currently supports 500 students in our various educational projects mostly in burkina faso, with some activities in mali. Our focus thus far has been on primary education, however we have also partnered with secondary schools by providing burkina based high schools with american english teachers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
