Overview
Mission
To provide financial assistance, educational and religious materials to orphanages both domestically and internationally, as well as, to present lectures and seminars to interested persons on the issues of christian missions and the support of orphanages that are consistent with the traditional and historic christian faith.
What it reported doing in 2024
There are currently 32 children in the care of Twinomujuni Children? s Home. Approximately half of the children are now young adults in high school, college, nursing school, and various trade schools. As they graduate and become employed, they will be expected to leave the orphanage and begin supporting themselves. The boys who were looking for jobs in metal fabrication and auto mechanics in 2023 have now begun jobs. Six of our girls and three of the boys are now supporting themselves and are no longer living at the Children? s Home. Three boys have qualified for university studies, two in law, one in engineering. All are currently attending classes. The van that was modified last year began earning rental income in 2024 and enough income was generated to pay for school uniforms. The van is still being rented and is expected to continue to generate income. The children still living at the Children? s Home attended various field trips and workshops and youth events to round out their educations. The four apartment that were under construction in 2023 were 80% completed in 2024 and expected to be ready to rent by September of 2025. Programs for 2024 were to continue to provide for the 43 orphans at various stages of life and education. During 2024, several more children graduated high school and entered various trade schools. The older children have acquired skills that are of use in maintaining the campus of the Children? s Home. We have several young men in plumbing school and electrical school Care for 5 boys (brothers) whose parents abandoned them continues. Shepherd? s Love found sponsors for the boys and for the year of 2024 provided rental of a small house, furniture, clothing and committed to another year of feeding and educating the boys. The program will be reevaluated in 2025. The half of the children who are still in elementary and high school continue to receive 100% of all personal needs including housing, clothing, medical care, academic and religious education and adult supervision. Joseph House was sold in 2024 to provide the funds to finish the rental apartments. The population of the Elder Care home had dwindled to only one elderly woman whose granddaughter agreed to give her a home.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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.
