Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We aim to see all local ministries and churches be supported locally by locals.

1) Provide Biblically-based educational resources for entrepreneurs.
2) Partner with local believers who share our vision; enabling them, through training and education, to conduct profitable business and support church and ministry.
3) Train and work with partner churches and missionaries to engage their members and communities using our resources.
4) Empower partners who desire to financially support our vision.

We are business people who are passionate about learning and working cross-culturally to help struggling business people and entrepreneurs, especially in developing economies.

We have a number of entrepreneurs engaging in our training programs both virtually and in person to improve their businesses through strategic planning and analysis. In addition to entrepreneurs, many in the community are taking our other training to evaluate their personal finances and set savings goals. We plan to continue to expand this program here in Trujillo, Peru, and God-willing to other parts of Peru. Our big goal is to eventually be helping communities throughout Latin America!

How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

done We demonstrated a willingness to learn more by reviewing resources about feedback practice.
done We shared information about our current feedback practices.

  • Who are the people you serve with your mission?

    We serve economically disadvantaged people in Latin America, both entrepreneurs and members of a local community seeking to improve their businesses or personal financial state. We encourage them to use a portion of their financial improvement to support their local community (i.e. orphanages, churches, etc.)

  • How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?

    To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals

  • What significant change resulted from feedback?

    Based on feedback, we recently made a change to the structure of one of our training courses. Instead of it being a long three-hour class once a week, we are providing short videos and readings throughout the week and then meeting for a shorter one and a half hours once a week.

  • Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?

    We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on demographics (e.g., race, age, gender, etc.), We act on the feedback we receive

  • What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

    It is difficult to get honest feedback from the people we serve
