Forgetmenot-our work
 
 
How We Work

ForgetMeNot International’s work is based on the following principles:

 
. Transparent financial analyses and reporting  
. Accountability for results  
     
ForgetMeNot International’s core focus:

 
. Food, Clothing, and Shelter  
. Physical and Mental Health  
. Education  
   
Working with local partners in the field

We identify orphanages in the field by their passion, commitment, and responsibility, which allow us to select orphanages that match ForgetMeNot International’s capabilities and strategic goals. These field officers have the courage, dedication, and ability to make a sincere, sustainable difference.

ForgetMeNot International works with each selected partner for:
. Long term support of providing services for orphans as identified in our strategic areas of work
. Management, development and support in the field
. Improving transparency and access to these services
 
Management in the field

It is the condition of our funding and part of our terms of agreement with each of our partners that:
. All sources of donations are disclosed
. Detailed budgets for income and expenditure are provided
. An effective governance and reporting structure is established
 
Approach: Committed to sustainability and effectively measuring success

We are committed to investing in responsible partners by a process of monitoring and evaluation. Training and ongoing support for the orphanages we work with are essential to insuring dependable programming and reporting. Ultimately, the worth of our collective efforts will be measured in the quality of life of these orphans.
 
Sustainability

We hope that the relationships with the orphanages and with the orphans themselves transform into sustainable partnerships for long-lasting development for the health and educational welfare of the children and the global community. We work together to make each day positive and beneficial for them.
 
Measuring success

ForgetMeNot International is specific about the outcomes in terms of the impact on improving the lives of the children. We do not seek to measure success by a numerical amount such as expenditure, funds raised, or the number of children involved. We measure change in the children over time to demonstrate that the donations are achieving results in the quality of their lives as individuals.
