Overview

Mission

To break the cycle of malnutrition in individual families and communities through intervention when necessary, prevention when possible, mentor parents towards long term change, bring hope to whole communities through education and to display and share the gospel of christ in all that we do.

What it reported doing in 2014

Since 2009 serving his children has been breaking the cycle of malnutrition through nutritional rehabilitation, medical intervention, education and community outreach. Cumulatively, we have provided treatment for over 840 children and education for their caregivers and provided supplemental food and nutrition teaching for over 1,000 families throughout dozens of communities in uganda. In 2014 serving his children provided life saving intervention to 407 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition though our inpatient program and thousands of families were helped through outpatient services. We celebrated our five year anniversary as a uganda NGO, and were certified as a private health center by the uganda ministry of health.

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 total spending goes to programs and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
