Overview

Mission

Village Care assists community leaders to educate and create effective local solutions to local problems in order to take care of their own widows and orphans without outside aid.

What it reported doing in 2025

Villages are now able to decline foreign aid because they are proud to use their own skills and hard work to come up withlocal solutions to local problems.

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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
