Love your eye ❤️ Ainak is a Silicon Valley nonprofit, in providing free eye exams and prescription eyeglasses to the under-resourced children in California. Ainak's mission is a powerful commitment to ensuring that no child is left behind in their educational journey due to the financial constraints of their parents or guardians in affording proper eye care. We believe in providing every child with the opportunity to achieve a 20/20 vision, recognizing that this not only supports their academic success but also cultivates the confidence necessary for them to thrive in life and pursue their dreams. The statistics further underscore the urgency and significance of our mission. A staggering 62 million Americans lack access to essential eye care and eyeglasses, creating a substantial gap in addressing visual health needs. Equally concerning is the fact that over 300,000 children commence their school year each September with vision impairment, underscoring the critical nature of our work. Alarming is the diagnosis of vision impairment in 1 in 3 preschool-aged children. This statistic emphasizes the crucial role Ainak plays in intervening at an early age to prevent not only immediate hindrances to learning but also to avert potentially severe eye health problems as these children mature.

Successful companies have a board of representatives that ensures the company is always headed in the right direction. Nonprofits, churches, institutions, etc., have a board of directors or a board of trustees. Just like for business, we as individuals must identify people to serve on our personal “board of directors.” Do not just choose like-minded people, either. To be adequately shaped—you have to have accountability. Who is on your board? Is it diverse? Are you seeking mentorship?

Cultivating a Culture of Generosity: Insights for Church Leaders Recent research from the UK has unveiled a significant opportunity for increased giving among Christian communities. This study offers valuable insights for church leaders seeking to nurture a culture of generosity. Key Findings: •Practicing Christians have the potential to donate 3.5 times more than current levels. •Trust is a crucial factor: 76% of regular donors have high trust in their church. •Major giving obstacles: financial constraints and skepticism about fund utilization. As a stewardship consultant, I recognize that unlocking this potential requires intentional leadership. Here are three actionable steps to build trust and encourage generous giving: →Embrace Radical Transparency: Implement clear, regular financial reporting that demonstrates faithful stewardship. Show your congregation exactly how their gifts are transforming lives and advancing the Kingdom. →Celebrate Kingdom Impact: Consistently share stories that connect donations to tangible outcomes. Help your congregation see how their generosity is making a difference in your community and beyond. →Foster Deeper Engagement: Create opportunities for meaningful dialogue about the church's vision and financial stewardship. Engage members in the process of discerning how to best use resources for Kingdom impact. Remember, stewardship is about more than money – it's about cultivating hearts that trust God and respond to His generosity. By focusing on these areas, we can help bridge the gap between current giving and the incredible potential that exists within our faith communities. How is your church working to build trust and encourage generous giving? Share your experiences and insights below. https://lnkd.in/gpv_XFBc #ChurchStewardship #GenerosityJourney #KingdomImpact

Jem. P. Ronnie was a young orphan begging on the streets of Kampala, Uganda, when he encountered a good samaritan. She asked why he wasn't in school, and eventually helped him find his educational footing. That was the impetus for him to eventually launch the nonprofit Go So High Foundation (GSHF), which focuses on "educating and nurturing marginalized children to discover themselves and to unleash their potential in order for them to achieve their dreams in the right way." Read more about GSHF at HundrEDorg, a Finnish-based mission-driven organization specializing in K-12 education innovation: https://lnkd.in/d_X6i2Yc Or follow GSHF here: GO SO HIGH FOUNDATION (GSHF)
