Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to rescue, defend and nurture vulnerable girls who have experienced sexual abuse and trauma in Honduras by providing a loving home environment, Christian discipleship and values, stabily and security, professional counseling, quality education, health and dental care, nutritious diets, social life skills and support in legal matters.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization raised the funding required to properly operate a safe, Christian home "Casa De Abby" where the physical, emotional and spiritual lives of vulnerable girls are restored through the love of God. This home environment provides discipleship, counseling, education and a healthy lifestyle to many young girls between the ages of 4-11 years old, in the country of Honduras.

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

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.
