Overview
Mission
Support and improve the health and welfare of people in nicaragua and other underdeveloped countries by enlisting, organizing and supporting rural healthcare providers and providing critical equipment and supplies.
What it reported doing in 2024
Organize health clinics throughout nicaragua: each half day clinic is coordinated with local church leaders and medical professionals. In 2024 we provided 1,260 patients with medicines, health advice and the gospel.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
