What they do
THE ORGANIZATION HAS COMPLETED WATER PROJECTS IN 45 COMMUNITIES IN GHANA (39 IN NANDOM DISTRICT and 6 IN SUHAM DISTRICT) A SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURIAL APPROACH THE ENTREPRENEURIAL APPROACH HAS TWO VALUABLE ADVANTAGES: CREATIVE ENERGY and ACCOUNTABILITY. ENTREPRENEURS TAKE A RISK BY INVESTING IN AN ENDEAVOUR THEY BELIEVE WILL SUCCEED, ACCEPTING THE RESPONSIBILITY of PROVIDING THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH A DESIRABLE PRODUCT. THE ENTREPRENEURIAL APPROACH DEMANDS US to CONSTANTLY QUESTION IF THERE is A BETTER, MORE EFFICIENT, MORE ENJOYABLE WAY of PROVIDING A GOOD or SERVICE. WITH THE SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURIAL MODEL, WE TAKE THAT ENERGY and CHANNEL IT TOWARDS SOCIAL GOOD. RATHER THAN FOCUSING SOLELY ON PROFIT GENERATION, WE WORK to ENSURE AT THE ONSET of OUR PROJECTS THAT THE SUCCESS of OUR WORK WILL MAKE SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS to EITHER THE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND/OR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WHERE WE WORK. WE THEN REINVEST THESE PROFITS BACK INTO OUR COMMUNITIES. SELF-SUSTAINING PROJECT
Should I give to this charity?

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
