Overview

Mission

To partner in the operation of a preschool in the shiro meda region of addis ababa, ethiopia to provide educational programs, including day camps to prepare local children for elementary school. This also involves providing training of teachers and providing students with at least one nutritional meal a day along with clean water and milk.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, one love continued to partner with one love academy to provide support for monthly overhead expenses, renovations, supplies, uniforms and tuition assistance for 378 students at one love academy from january to july of 2024 and 425 students from august to december of 2024. We also purchased backpacks and water bottles for each student to be distributed in 2025. Each teacher received a bag of rice and a luncheon was held to show appreciation for all teachers involved at the school. One love additionally, provided funding for food and staff to prepare and serve nutritious daily meals to all students attending one love academy. One love also maintained oversight through a liaison and sent one mission team to visit the schools in 2024.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% 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 the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
