How do we measure our organization's effectiveness?
Hope 4 Kids International's effectiveness can be measured internationally and
domestically. Internationally, our effectiveness can be measured
through the impact we are having on our orphans, churches, education,
healthcare, village sponsorship and the amount of safe drinking water
we are providing to villagers around the world.
Orphans:
• Orphans health improving?
• Physical & spiritual needs are met?
• Is the quality of care increasing for our orphans and their families?
Churches:
• Are our churches growing?
• Increased evangelistic outreaches in villages?
• Distribution of Christian literature increased?
• Are pastors receiving adequate ongoing training?
• Number of people that are coming to church increases
• Are church members being discipled?
Education:
• Is our Christian Mixed Day Boarding School keeping up with Kampala testing standards?
• Adding more grades to our school? (Just added P6).

• Number of students registered in school increasing?

far more superior to any other boarding school in the area.)
Healthcare:

•
Previously, girls in our villages were spending hours getting fresh
water. Now, they can spend those hours going to school and receiving an
education. Has the girls' attendance increased in school?
