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.

Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (4)
- $25,791 spent. Mountain View Mission travels to Kenya to spread the gospel in Naivasha, Kenya and equip others to spread the gospel around the world.
- $16,657 spent. Mountain View Mission has begun construction on a Mission House.The Mission House will provide us with a home base for ministry in Naivasha and the surrounding area. We will be able to house short-term teams and offer training for local pastors and leaders.
- $7,300 spent. Although the education system is considered free in Kenya, families are expected to cover many additional costs (fees, supplies, uniforms, etc.). Many families cannot afford these extra costs, causing many children to drop out of school. Without a consistent education, children are unable to secure jobs, and the cycle of poverty continues. The need is large and at times can feel unstoppable. Mountain View sponsors children to cover the costs of schooling.
- $1,400 spent. Laban is currently the pastor at a local church in Naivasha where he is able to use his chaplaincy and seminary training to impact his community. Laban and Margaret work with the staff of MVM in Kenya to support the Sponsorship Program and plan short-term mission trips.
