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.

THE PROJECT INVOLVES THE FOLLOWING STAGES: A. TRAIN FIELD STAFF ON THE USE OF V4D. THE V4D HAS PROVEN TO BE A POSITIVE DISRUPTOR, MERGING TECHNOLOGY, DATA COLLECTION AND DATA ANALYSIS TO INFORM COMMUNITY-CENTERED PROGRAMS. MOBILE 4D WILL ENSURE UNINTERRUPTED ACCESS TO DATA AND EDUCATIONAL MODULES FOR COMMUNITIES WE SELECT. THIS,COMBINED WITH CONSISTENT OUTREACH, MONITORING AND EVALUATION WILL WORK TO ELIMINATE FGM. B. ROLL OUT THE V4D AND ENROLL THE GIRLS TO COLLECT REAL-TIME DATA,ALLOWING FOR IN-TIME INTERVENTION BY OUR FIELD STAFF, SUPPORTED BY POLICE AND CHILDREN SERVICES. C.

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO OBTAIN AGREEMENT AND SUPPORT THAT WE BELIEVE IN ESSENTIAL FOR PROGRAM SUCCESS. F. SHARE TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN DATA COLLECTION RESULTS IN MOBILIZING COMMUNITY EFFORTS. AS PART OF THIS EFFORT, WE WILL SHARE REAL-TIME DATA ON THE ENROLLED GIRLS TO INFORM THE COMMUNITY AT STAKEHOLDERS' COMMUNITY FORUMS IN THE REGION. DATA COLLECTED WILL DOCUMENT THE EFFECTIVENESS TO ERADICATE FGM. G. IF PAST SUCESS IS ANY PREDICTOR OF FUTURE SUCCESS, THE COMPELLING EVIDENCE WILL MOBILIZE THE COMMUNITY BEHIND OUR EFFORTS.
