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

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. MoveUkraine Victory Gardens, Dental services for IDPs, logistical support for donated furniture, admin expenses such as fuel, office. In 2024, Move Ukraine has provided homes for 222 IDPs and renovated 1 clinic for 75 disabled IDP children, 1 rehabilitation center for 40veterans, and 1 veteran hub. We anticipate additional homes for 234 and rehabs for 134 people.
  2. WARP, Water & Renewable Power: 8 systems in very remote villages with approximately 200 people in each village in Mexico's Yucatan Bio Reserve. Prepared systems for two installations in Ebeye Town within Kwajalein Atoll in Marshall Islands. Prepped systems for 2 hospitals in Al Hudaydah in Yemen, but the current war makes installation very difficult. In addition to the 400 people per village, the systems also benefit smaller surrounding villages.
  3. CORAL HUB. During this year we decided to focus or work on coastal and island communities. This new effort included mapping the vulnerabilities of Small Island Developing States and selecting two initial focus territories: Hawaii and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. We started consultations with local leaders, government and community members to identify their most pressing needs. The result is the CORAL Hub, an integrative platform that delivers essential water, energy, communications, health, educational and culture preservation services. Our activities this year have included the design and development of the platform, technology research, forging new technology and manufacturing, as well as designing new projects in service of the most vulnerable communities within the selected Island territories. We also started communications with communities in Southern Chile as another target location for our CORAL HUB.
