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
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (2)
- $8,000 spent. In India we provided a grant to our partners to test for lead contamination in soils around industrial sites. The soil samples were tested for lead content. This information will be used to inform regulators and the public about hazardous levels of lead in soil.
- $14,195 spent. In Mexico we provided a grant to our partners to purchase paints from retail outlets and test paint samples for lead and chromium content. The project was successful in identifying that more than half of the 213 products tested contained lead in excess of the internationally accepted standard of 90 parts per million. This information was useful to inform ongoing efforts in Mexico to finalize the first ever lead paint standard restricting the lead content of paints.
