- $337,485 spent.

During the year, the program delivered over 4,700 classes across core areas, including 825 Bible classes for children and youth, 1,015 computer classes with 25,967 computer lessons completed and 238 courses finished, 623 STEM classes resulting in 2,586 hands-on STEM projects, and 718 academic reinforcement classes. Additional enrichment included 115 personal development classes, 396 educational games classes, and strong literacy engagement with 1,864 books read and over 8,200 reading evaluations. Beyond classroom instruction, the program conducted 157 home visits, facilitated 150 youth mission outreaches, and provided 45,279 nutritious meals. As a result of this holistic approach the vast majority of students completed their school year and re-enrolled in the program.
- $70,015 spent. Funds were directed toward supporting frontline workers serving vulnerable children in developing countries, strengthening their capacity through teacher development, educational support, and program oversight. Resources also helped sustain orphan care related services, including care for children in institutional settings, support for children with special needs, and transitional assistance for youth aging out of care. In addition, funding contributed to the operational needs of mission teams working directly within these communities. By investing in those on the ground, the support reinforced sustainable, community-based responses and helped address the ongoing needs of vulnerable children and families.
