Personally Known Leaders
We personally know and work with responsible leaders on the ground. This includes caring volunteers and pastors, many of whom hold advanced degrees.
Accountability
How We Ensure Wise Use of Donations
We are aware of a number of potential trust issues in completing our noble mission. Political and personal corruption, along with incompetence of professionals, has been a problem in developing nations. Many of these nations are famous for scams.
We Overcome Known Issues
We take these steps to avoid middle men, have trustless transactions, and deliver items directly to the recipients who need the aid. We monitor progress to stay on top of unknown or unexpected challenges as well.
Core Principle
Responsive financial management at ZOE is built around direct oversight, trusted local leadership, controlled release of funds, and transparent giving channels.
