Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Bless Back is working to empower those we serve to use their own gifts, talents and skills to to become self sustaining in the areas of healthcare, education and economic development. We are a short term mission organization leaving long term impact in the communities we serve.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Bless Back works with trusted partners who are located in the areas we serve. These partners are the key to knowing what is needed and wanted in the local communities.
We empower those in the community primarily through mentoring and educating so that they can become self sustaining. We also help finance projects until the time they can become self sustaining. BBW believes in targeting small communities and going deep within those areas.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Bless Back Worldwide is a small grass roots organization with only 1 employee, and we rely solely on volunteer funds and manpower. We aim to make small progress with every team that goes into the field. Each new team builds upon the last. We know our limits and keep our focus limited so that we don't over extend ourselves. Growth or expansion comes organically when we have the ability to do so.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Bless Back Worldwide has helped build medical clinics in both Haiti and Nicaragua. The clinic in Haiti is staffed full time by Haitian medical staff and adheres to WHO recommendations. We continue to provide oversight and mentoring to the staff at the clinic and we help provide for their salaries. We also provide all medications for the clinic.
In Nicaragua the clinic has a full time nurse who can treat minor wounds, illnesses and refer to a local physician if necessary,
BBW has also helped complete a school in Haiti that was destroyed in the earthquake and we provide teacher development and mentorship on an ongoing basis.
In Nicaragua we have developed a Business Academy Program and given over $25,000 in micro-loans with a 98% repayment rate. We help subsidize the salary of the business academy coach.
In addition, we have helped build over 15 homes and built well for desperate neighborhoods.
We have provided teacher training seminars for over 50 teachers in Grand Goave, Haiti
