| Primary Exempt Purpose | Primary exempt purpose of our organization, Missions-Connect, Inc. is to assist and provide funds to Christian organizations in India, Cambodia, Kenya and other nations in the Third World that provide services to orphans who have dropped out of school because of their circumstances, to needy lepers in leprosy colonies, to abandoned poor widows, and to hungry people who have been left without work because the pandemic has affected the economy of these Third World nations. Christian individuals who are being led by God donate to our organization the necessary funds for all these programs. We, in Missions-Connect, Inc., then sends these funds to those organizations that we are working with in Kenya, Cambodia, India and other places to be used in accomplishing the goals established with them. In return, they send us documentation on how the funds were used and distributed. All that information goes into our website (www.missionsconnect.com) where the donors can see how the funds are used. | PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt |
