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.

It has been an exciting and rewarding year as we watch the success our girls are having as they matriculate out of our programs and into productive lives of their own. Deme, who has been with us since age 6 is a prime example. She has graduated from Teaching Academy College and is now teaching Elementary school. As the older girls graduate and move on to college and work, new little ones are brought in to take their place and begin their journey to health and literacy. Along with their studies, Tangible Hope girls have been contributing to the community by planting trees,cleaning up the village and growing potatoes on our land. Through a very generous donation, Tangible hope has built an elementary school in Langano where there was no school. Now, instead of begging from tourists in the streets, children are in school learning. This is a cooperative program with the government providing teachers and supplies to the school. We are honored that our work empowering and educating young girls has been acknowledged through an award of merit given to our founder/CEO, Telile Yoseph, by the President of The Region of Oromia.
