Overview
Mission
Provide hand driven carts at no cost to people who do not have use of their legs in third world countries and to provide volunteer opportunities for our local community.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, we produced 168 hand driven mobility carts to be shipped to uganda for people who do not have use of their legs. Recipients receive the carts at no cost. Carts are produced by unpaid volunteers. Our goal for 2026 is to produce 182 carts for distribution. It costs about $425 per cart to produce which includes some shipping costs.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
