Based out of Illinois, All Gods Children provides operating support to an orphanage in Honduras called Hogar.

Tangible Deliverables
All Gods Children helps provide food, shelter, medical care, spiritual training, and education to almost 200 children. It also provides sponsorship programs to match families to individual children. Donors are welcome to provide one time monetary gifts which can be directed at a specific need such as school uniforms, or they can be directed to the general budget.

“All God’s Children helps provide
food, shelter, medical care,
spiritual training, and education
to almost 200 children.”

Efficiency of the Delivery System The organization is headed by one non-paid individual and there are no paid employees. Teams of volunteers travel to Hogar to help construct and improve living facilities. For $25 a month donors can sponsor a child to help provide necessities such as food, clothing, education, and medical care.

Financial Efficiency
All Gods Children has administrative expenses of only 2% and fundraising expenses of 1.2%, which leaves 96.8% to go directly to the programs.

Accountability to Clients and Investors The president of the organization travels to Honduras 10 times a year with teams of volunteers and all donors are invited to visit as well.

Commitment and Plans to Achieve
Sustainable Results
 At Hogar the children become a family by living and working together. They share the chores and learn important job skills such as sewing, woodworking, farming, carpentry, and welding. Most importantly, they embrace the values that will enable them to grow into strong adults who will make a difference in their communities.

In their late teens the children are given the opportunity to either get a job or go to unive sity. All Gods Children really tries to give them the opportunity to go to school. In the last few years about seven of the children have been attending university and have been living in townhouses that were donated by a church that was doing fundraising for the organization. One of the original girls raised at Hogar has now become the onsite pre-school teacher.

Volunteerism
Missionary groups, church groups, and families travel to the orphanage usually for a week at a time. Many go back repeatedly.
