Overview

Mission

Simply love international seeks to enrich and enhance the lives of children through love, support, community development, and inspired philanthropy. Goals of the organization are: 1.) encouraging academic commitment and the pursuit of education through scholarships and other student assistance; 2.) supporting the construction, expansion, and preservation of schools and orphanages; and 3.) creating a culture of community engagement so as to promote the common good through inspired philanthropy.

What it reported doing in 2025

Simply love international assisted in funding the education for students from the orphanage to attend private school. In 2025, that included 6 college students, 25 nursery/primary/secondary students, 25 children attended the simply love schoolhouse tuition free, and supported an additional 20 graduated students that previously attended simply love school house. The organization also purchased land and started construction for a new school.

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.
