Overview

Mission

Our mission statement is to uplift the lives of vulnerable children and families in Guatemala by providing essential support to our orphanage housing 60 kids Soul Shine Village and sustaining 125 working tour horses that support the livelihoods of 350 families around the Pacaya Volcano. Soul Shine Horse Rescue Through our clinics we provide medical care food clothing and education for people and horses. We strive to strengthen communities and inspire a hopeful future of those we serve.

What it reported doing in 2025

Created a philanthropic tour for Pacaya Volcano Guatemala to create jobs for 125 working tour horses taking tourists to the volcano. We rotate these horses to support the families and have a sustainable tour creating jobs for the village and all the profits go to the Mayan Cowboys and their families as well as the well being and care of the 125 working horses. We do medical checks every 3 months on all horses bringing in veternarians and medicines as well as emergency service and treating for ill horses including dogs and cats. Saving horses saves families. One working tour horse supports a family of 7-10 people.

Operating model

Revenue model
Affiliate-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
