Program
How do you bring hope to a nation? There are so many things that can and need to be done in Kigoma, one of the poorest regions in Tanzania. However, we believe it starts with education and not just a secular education, though that is necessary. The only way to bring hope and affect change in the whole nation is to teach people about Jesus. We approach that goal in many different ways. One is to raise up a new generation that will become godly influencers. There is also a need to educate pastors. Those who are responsible for equipping the Church for the work of the ministry. Starting at each end of the spectrum became our hearts desire. Through our Primary School, children are growing up with an excellent education and a strong relationship with Jesus. They are already becoming godly influencers in their families and communities and soon, the nation Through our Bible College, pastors are trained on how to study and teach the Word of God.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $93k to $375k (+303%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2024 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund HOPE OF THE NATIONSINC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 97% · 2021 63% · 2022 57% · 2023 62% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $42k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
