Also, to provide health care, health care education and general education to impoverished families, children and babies suffering from malnutrition. The single largest expense was for the care and education of poor, orphaned, and abandoned children in guatemala.
built homes for families living in extremely poor conditions.
In my experience, the financials from this organization are hidden from the donors. It is extremely difficult to determine how much of the donation is used for intended recipients and how much is used to fund salaries. This is an organization that in theory can do a lot of good, but is so careless and inept at sharing quantifiable data, you could be throwing your money away. In a time when donors expect more than anecdotal stories, Project God's Child has fallen off the map. There are other organizations that are much more transparent that "do good" in the places in which God's Child operates. I will donate with them the next time.
This international organization pairs donors with individual children in the U.S., Guatemala and Africa who need support for their basic needs and for schooling. The God's Child Project organizes service teams to help with projects in Guatemala including homebuilding. Out of their efforts to ensure that impoverished children have tools to build successful lives, they have seen a need to intervene in the area of human trafficking. As the sponsor of a child, I am impressed with the way the organization facilitates communication and demonstrates how my support positively impacts my sponsoree.
