Overview

Mission

To disciple and empower women to break the cycle of economic and spiritual poverty for their familes, communities and for generations to come.

What it reported doing in 2025

Sweet sleep provides bedding to children in uganda, typically delivered by a team of volunteers. In 2025 three trips were made to uganda hosting 46 volunteers to serve communities in uganda through bed distribution. These volunteers distributed 360 beds to ugandan children and refurbished/replenished bedding for 160 more beds. Through our in-country personnel, we delivered 340 beds to children in need in uganda and refurbished/replenished 100 beds orginally provided through our programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 40% for direct work, and 60% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
