What it reported doing in 2025
Orphans Hope Myanmar Asia: The civil war that started February 1, 2021 has had continued to have a tremendous impact and caused great suffering in the country. We have continued to provide orphans with food, clothes, medical care, improvements in living conditions, and other essential needs, which have been greater than ever. Food relief has continued to be a very big need in 2025 and we provided over 1,000,000 meals for orphans. We have hired teachers and are teaching English, math, computers, agriculture, life skills at Ophans Hope Garden Home orphanage. We completed a new house at Garden Home and improved living conditions with significant renovations. We also expanded self-sustaining food resources with gardens and planting of fruit trees. We held a Christmas celebration for 960 orphans. 650 Orphans were sent to schoold with school uniforms, backpacks, supplies, and school fees.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 91% 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.
