Our phase-one impact and financial report, per our published timeline.
Where we stand today: Rays of Hope has not yet formally launched (planned for Q3 2026), so no funds have been collected or spent. We're publishing our planned timeline, costs, and allocation model now, before any money moves, so supporters can hold us to it from day one — and we'll update every figure on this page every quarter once fundraising begins.

Detailed Breakdown

Every action, planned vs. actually spent

The high-level breakdown above shows the plan by category. This is the same money, broken out action by action, so you can trace any figure back to the specific thing it paid for.
