Overview

Mission

Human outreach provides the basic necessities - e.g. Medical, dental, clothing, food, and school supplies - to impoverished people, especially children, living in remote locations throughout the world.

What it reported doing in 2025

Many areas around the world lack technological resources, education, & medical supplies. We organized and executed a project to install solar- powered computers & deliver medical supplies in remote parts of nepal and peru, including support for local medical clinics. This enables their communities to further their education, technological development, & medical care. In addition, we support local village festivals as a way to bolster villages' meager economies. We also sponsor children's tuition in india & nepal.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
