What it reported doing in 2024

6 girls in India have graduated from high school and have moved on to college. We are supporting a new batch of 5 girls now. We are also supporting 3 other girls with the middle school education in India. We are now supporting about 137 children in refugee camps in Thailand, up by 27 from the last year. Because of influx of new children we had to hire more contracting teachers and training program for them.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
