What it says it does

WHEN CHILDREN IN SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMS GROW UP, THEIR SPONSORSHIP EVENTUALLY ENDS. YOUNG ADULTS AGING OUT OF SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMS ARE AT GREAT RISK. RESEARCH SHOWS THESE YOUNG ADULTS, WHO LACK A SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR TRANSITIONING TO ADULTHOOD, ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE VULNERABLE TO DANGERS SUCH AS HIV, PROSTITUTION, DEPRESSION, SUICIDE, ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE, MALNUTRITION, AND DEATH. STRUGGLES FOR FOOD AND HOUSING REDUCE THEIR ABILITY TO COMPLETE THEIR EDUCATION. UNEMPLOYMENT IMPACTS THEIR ABILITY TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES. WE COME ALONGSIDE WITH FINANCIAL SUPPORT, LOCAL MENTORING, ACCOUNTABILITY, SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE, EDUCATION, AND TRAINING THROUGH OUR TRAINING CENTER, OPEN DOOR BIBLE AND SKILLS TRAINING CENTRE AS THESE YOUNG ADULTS LEAVE THEIR CHILDHOOD SPONSORSHIPS AND MOVE INTO POST SECONDARY EDUCATION, CAREERS, AND INDEPENDENT ADULTHOOD.

Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
