Child Development Program
OneChild’s program is designed to reduce vulnerability for children and break the cycle of generational poverty. We equip local leaders with the skills and resources necessary to develop communities where children can grow into their full potential. OneChild delivers its program in spaces called Hope Centers, which are attached to a local partner church or school. Hope Centers promote healthy development for children in the areas of: discipleship, education, nutrition, socio-emotional development, family engagement, and health. OneChild currently serves over 46,000 children across 15 countries in collaboration with local community partners.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Oct 01 - Sep 30
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
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.
