Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
MOBILIZING GOD'S PEOPLE TO BRING HOPE TO AT-RISK CHILDREN AND YOUTH AT HOME AND AROUND THE WORLD. OPEN ARMS WORLDWIDE (OAW) IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT, CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO THE SPIRITUAL, MORAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL ENRICHMENT OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH WHO LIVE IN UNDER-SERVED OR FORGOTTEN COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD COMMUNITIES WHERE FAMILIES AND CHILDREN ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF BECOMING VICTIMS OF POVERTY, CRIME, VIOLENCE, ADDICTION, ABUSE, AND SOCIAL MARGINALIZATION.2021 WAS THE BEGINNING OF REEMERGENCE FROM PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS. THE YEAR BEGAN STILL UNDER TIGHT RESTRICTION AND A TIME WHERE OUR PARTNERS SHIFTED AWAY FROM LARGE GROUPS AND TOWARD INDIVIDUAL CARE, MEETING BASIC NEEDS, AND DIGITAL TEACHING MINISTRIES. THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR WAS AN EXPLOSION OF ACTIVITY AS THOSE RESTRICTIONS LIFTED. ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAMS WERE QUICKLY BURSTING AT THE SEAMS.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
THE VAST MAJORITY OF ALL EXPENDITURES IN 2022 WENT TO SUPPORT PROGRAMS AND DIRECT ASSISTANCE IN BRAZIL THROUGH OUR ONGOING PARTNERSHIP WITH COMUNIDADE BRACOS ABERTOS BRASIL, A REGISTERED BRAZILIAN NOT-FOR-PROFIT ASSOCIATION THAT SHARES OUR VISION FOR IMPROVING THE LIVES OF AT-RISK CHILDREN AND YOUTH. OUR LARGEST PROGRAM IS PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR 9 FULL-TIME BRAZILIAN CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES SERVING IN THESE PROGRAMS. THESE MISSIONARIES ARE SERVING IN THREE DIFFERENT STATES IN BRAZIL COORDINATING PROGRAMS AND CAMPS IN COMMUNITIES THAT RANGE FROM URBAN SETTINGS TO INDIGENOUS VILLAGES. CHILDREN FROM MORE THAN 400 FAMILIES ARE PROVIDED SPIRITUAL AND CIVIC INSTRUCTION, ACADEMIC SUPPORT, AND NUTRITIONAL ASSISTANCE ON A DAILY BASIS THROUGH THIS NETWORK OF NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH MINISTRIES.
OUR SECOND LARGEST PROGRAM INVOLVED THE RECRUITMENT, TRAINING, AND DEPLOYMENT OF THREE VOLUNTEER SERVICE TEAMS IN SUPPORT OF THE MISSION OF COMUNIDADE BRACOS ABERTOS BRASIL. IN 2021 WE DEPLOYED THREE TEAMS FROM THE UNITED STATES TO BRAZIL. THESE TEAMS RAN CHILDREN AND YOUTH CAMPS IN COOPERATION WITH OUR BRAZILIAN PARTNERS AND WORKED IN SUPPORT OF OUR LOCAL MISSIONARIES.
OUR THIRD LARGEST PROGRAM EXPENSE WAS DIRECT SUPPORT FOR THE OPERATIONS OF OUR BRAZILIAN PARTNER, COMUNIDADE BRACOS ABERTOS BRASIL. THESE FUNDS WERE USED FOR TUITION ASSISTANCE AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH SELECTED BY OUR PARTNERS IN BRAZIL, AND FOR EXTRA-CURRICULAR PROGRAMS INCLUDING SWIM CLASSES, DANCE CLASSES, AND A SOCCER CLUB OUTREACH. GRANT FUNDS WERE ALSO USED FOR PSYCHOLOGY SERVICES, AND OTHER OVERHEAD COSTS OF THE ORGANIZATION IN BRAZIL (TRANSPORTATION, RENTS AND UTILITIES).
