We have multiple layers of accountability that make sure the work we fund is actually done. Along with an exhaustive follow up process with reports and photos/videos, our first layer of accountability is with our regional liaisons. They cover a territory suitable for them to be able to put eyes on the projects we’re funding. The liaisons then report back to us the work that is being done and potential needs. Liaisons are selected based on the work in the region they are already in, and are vetted through other organizations they deal with.
The second layer of accountability is with our Local Christian. These individuals are the people actually doing the work of the ministry. This includes putting on the Gospel Outreach, connecting the children to churches and churches to children, and helping run the feeding centers.
This is a great question and one we are honored to continually answer. We believe in financial transparency. For detailed information you can look at our year end reviews on our donate page.
Percentages tend to be a moving target. Costs may go up one year and giving stays the same, resulting in a lower percentage being sent out. Perhaps giving went up and costs stayed the same, resulting in a higher percentage reaching the field. We believe fully in the perspective that EVERY dollar goes towards the mission of feeding, evangelizing and discipling children. A portion of that dollar is spent so that we can continue to feed, evangelize and disciple. Another portion buys the food. Another still pays for things like rent and utilities. Whether it’s funding the administration costs of the organization to continue the work, or the work itself in the field, all funding is for the sake of reaching every child, and transforming every community.
If you’d like 100% of your donation to go into the field feeding children, consider becoming a Hope Bringer. That gift goes straight to our childcare centers in at-risk areas.
Our work starts with prayer, asking God to help us find trustworthy Christians internationally who want to collaborate in order to make Christ known in their communities. From there we go through an interview and application process with the local Christian and liaison for the region to make sure it is a fit and the need is real.
We do not at this time organize trips to the areas we work. It’s incredibly costly to organize such trips, and we feel that our funds are better used getting the work done than watching it.
