Mission and Programs

Mission

ADRA International works with people in poverty and distress to create just and positive change through empowering partnerships and responsible action.

Programs

ADRA strives to reduce starvation and hunger by addressing immediate needs, but also works on long-term solutions to food security. ADRA's micro-enterprise development programs provide small loans to groups of individuals (a large majority are women) who cannot access credit at "formal" institutions. ADRA's primary health care activities address the most basic health care problems in the developing world, and as such, normally target women and children. ADRA's involvement in education is based on the belief that education is the single most effective means of empowering individuals. ADRA provides immediate response to disasters, however we play a primary role in second-phase response, which is longer term and leads to more developmental aspects of humanitarian work.

Balance Sheet: Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2007

Notes
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot long survive, but the types of assets and liabilities also must be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
