What they do

ON JULY 11, 2024 THE BOARD of FORGOTTEN VOICES INTERNATIONAL MET and MADE THE DIFFICULT DECISION to CLOSE AS of AUGUST 31, 2024 DUE to LACK of SUSTAINABLE FUNDING to CONTINUE ON THE MISSION. THIS DECISION WAS THEN SHARED WITH LOCAL FORGOTTEN VOICES BOARDS and STAFF IN ZAMBIA, ZIMBABWE and MALAWI and PUBLICALLY SHARED IN MID-AUGUST 2024. WE ARE GRATEFUL for NEARLY 20 YEARS of MINISTRY AS FORGOTTEN VOICES INTERNATIONAL and THANKFUL THAT FORGOTTEN VOICES ZAMBIA and FORGOTTEN VOICES ZIMBABWE HAVE RESTARTED THEIR WORK AS INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATIONS and WILL CONTINUE ON WITH THE MISSION IN THEIR COUNTRIES.

Ask these three easy questions

  1. Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
  2. What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
  3. Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $77,376 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

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.

How each $100 of revenue was used

The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.

Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.

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.
