Overview

Mission

We are a non-profit charity organization that humbly aims to provide to those in need around the world. With gratitude & love, we try to provide food, water, clothing, shelter, peace & education to needy persons, families and communities.

What it reported doing in 2025

We provided food, water coolers, water wells, water pipes, water heaters, lighting, solar panels, rugs/carpeting, and structural repair at multiple sites, including poor community centers and poor mosques. In addition, we assisted in building small kitchens with utensils and cooking supplies in these areas so that food may be provided on a regular basis to the community members.

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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
