Overview

Mission

To help underprivilaged children stay in school and away from drugs & gangs and to get out of cycle of poverty.

What it reported doing in 2025

Approximately two-three hundred homeless children, ages 7-11 attended winter and summer camps. In addition children attended various monthly programs. We attempt to teach them to stay in school and away from drugs & gangs and to get out of cycle of poverty.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% 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 the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
