Overview

Mission

World water relief's mission is to significantly improve the health and clean water sources in undeveloped countries including the dominican republic and haiti.

What it reported doing in 2020

The organization provides wash (water, sanitation, and hygiene) services to schools in the dominican republic and haiti. During the year, water purification systems were installed and/or maintained in these countries. World water relief also continues to provide youth hygiene education and also monitors all water purification systems previously installed by the organization.

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
