Charting Impact

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

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

How will they know if they are making progress?

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Our goal is to give them the opportunity to become educated, moral, responsible adults.

We aide the directors of Albergue Casa Hogar to provide a safe place with structure, rules, supplementary education and caregivers who keep them clean, healthy, and well fed. A dirty child with an empty belly living on the streets and truant from school has little chance to be an educated, moral, responsible adult.
