My family and I were missionaries to Nicaragua for 5 years. During that time METAD joined forces with other NGO's that we worked with and helped provide much needed assistance in many areas:
1. Antiparisitic medication for distribution in 2 very poor feeding programs, one in Chinandega, Nicaragua, and the other in Juigalpa, Nicaragua
2. Laproscopic units for a medical clinic in Juigalpa, Nicaragua
3. Assistance with an expansion program for “House of Hope”, a ministry in Managua, Nicaragua for women who are leaving prostitution, and being educated in micro- businesses so that they can provide for themselves and their families
4. Travel expenses for our family to return state side at the completion of our term on the field
METAD is a solid organization that has made a lasting impact on the education and health of the beautiful people of Nicaragua

As the homeless liaison for a local public school system, METAD has generously donated to the needs of our homeless students and families. With their assistance, families have shelter, children don't go to bed hungry or cold, students have the tools they need to be successful in school, etc. They have greatly impacted the lives of our future generations and we can't thank them enough!
Review from Guidestar
I am a 77 year old widow living on Social Security. I live in a trailer and in the summer of 2012 my air conditioner quit working and it was very hot that summer. The sent a repair man over that repaired the unit and paid the repair bill for me. I have no idea what the repairs cost them. I am very grateful for the help they gave me.
Review from Guidestar
Reviewing the 2013 form 990, I observe the following:
Revenue sources are not clearly disclosed.
75% of expenses are lumped into line #24a - "AID Expenses"
A Washington Times report indicates overbilling for medical supplies.
They report zero fundraising expenses.
I am very skeptical.
