Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Orphan Care

Daily living presents unimaginable challenges for those who are orphaned and abandoned. Wide Horizons For Children provides assistance, hope and opportunity for the most vulnerable among us through orphanage support, vocational training and a Granny program.

Population(s) Served

Children and youth

Adoption and Post Adoption Services

Adopting a child is one of the most life-changing decisions you will ever make. As one of the nation’s leading child welfare and adoption agencies, Wide Horizons For Children has helped place more than 13,000 children from nearly 60 countries with permanent, loving families. We work with trusted partners around the world, and offer well-established adoption programs in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the United States. We also help place children through our parent-initiated program, which allows families working with another child placement agency or personal contact to use our services.

Population(s) Served

Children and youth

Family Preservation

Our priority for any child in crisis is simple — to provide them with all they need for the best possible outcome. For a child with a family, that means keeping their family together, preserving their family.

For the last 50 years, we’ve worked with some of the most vulnerable children in the world, many of them orphans. When we first met them, some of these orphans had no living family — but many did — and could have remained with their family if they had received the help they needed before so many crises piled on top of them that life became untenable. Wide Horizons For Children is committed to providing interventions that help stabilize families at risk of dissolution because of poverty, disease or financial collapse, helping them to remain intact. Working in Ethiopia, Guatemala, Burundi and India, Wide Horizons For Children family strengthening programs provide a clear path to a better future for thousands of children.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
