Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (3)
- $278,100 spent. Ultimate Mission trains and equips indigenous women to train mothers how to prevent childhood illness and mortality in developing nations. We support 300 paid workers doing over 400,000 health visits a year as well as volunteers that do thousands more. We now have workers operating in India, Nepal, Ethiopia, South Sudan and the Philippines.
- Our neighborhood connection program is training communities to survive the next disaster. This program is being used by churches and city administrators to build relationships between neighbors and provide a level of protection that comes with neighborhood awareness and connection.
- $49,036 spent. Ultimate Mission is conducting a year-long research project in rural Ethiopia to evaluate the prevalence and underlying causes of diarrhea, anemia, and malnutrition among women and children. Working through our trained Healthy Heart village health workers, the study is collecting baseline health data, assessing nutrition and sanitation practices, and monitoring improvements as families receive targeted health education and simple, sustainable interventions. The findings will provide reliable, community-level evidence to guide more effective health programs, strengthen maternal-child health efforts, and help local leaders reduce preventable illness. Ultimately, this project will equip communities with the knowledge and tools needed to improve long-term health, break cycles of disease, and raise the overall quality of life for vulnerable families.
