Great idea you have here! Your mission statement is fantastic, but you need to set a definite timeline in order to make your Impact measurable.

Hi @jacklineburudi ,your mission statement is good, but you could improve on it by having a strong verb ,outcome and a definite timeline of actualizing your ultimate outcome. If you don't mind, you could go back to the article " Eight- word mission statement " and internalise the readings .
Moreover, your activity which is ; "Providing scholarship opportunities to refugees in Kenya " might have some negative unintended consequences .one of which ; Causing disaffection on the minds of people your scheme could not reached out to.

A very good mission especially for refugees in accessing education. Presumably, you will describe in details on the process of gaining education scholarship for the refugees. Nevertheless you may need to consider partnering with the government as well as education institutions to support your organization mission in a specific time frame.

Good work. But discovering hidden

MISSION STATEMENT: To promote the health and development of young people.

ACTIVITIES: Advocacy and community mobilization,
Sexuality education and counselling,
Resource material development,
Clinical and referral services
Job/ vocational skills training

mission statement defines what an organization is, why it exists, its reason for being. At a minimum, your mission statement should define who your primary customers are, identify the products and services you produce, and describe the geographical location in which you operate.

If you don't have a mission statement, create one by writing down in one sentence what the purpose of your business is. Ask two or three of the key people in your company to do the same thing. Then discuss the statements and come up with one sentence everyone agrees with. Once you have finalized your mission statement, communicate it to everyone in the company.

It's more important to communicate the mission statement to employees than to customers. Your mission statement doesn't have to be clever or catchy--just accurate.

If you already have a mission statement, you will need to periodically review and possibly revise it to make sure it accurately reflects your goals as your company and the business and economic climates evolve. To do this, simply ask yourself if the statement still correctly describes what you're doing.

If your review results in a revision of the statement, be sure everyone in the company is aware of the change. Make a big deal out of it. After all, a change in your mission probably means your company is growing-and that's a big deal.

Once you have designed a niche for your business, you're ready to create a mission statement. A key tool that can be as important as your business plan, a mission statement captures, in a few succinct sentences, the essence of your business's goals and the philosophies underlying them. Equally important, the mission statement signals what your business is all about to your customers, employees, suppliers and the community.

The mission statement reflects every facet of your business: the range and nature of the products you offer, pricing, quality, service, marketplace position, growth potential, use of technology, and your relationships with your customers, employees, suppliers, competitors and the community.

We constantly innovate on our fundraising efforts to ensure that the program is sustainable as we scale up.

this is a great initiative. my worry is how sustainable this project will be when you are lacking of funds or the eventual death of the vision bearer.

being a southern Nigerian who has traveled to more than half of the northern states has opened my eyes to this scourge. i can guarantee that the lift here is promising. however, this might suffer a lot of negative unintended consequences and the probability of success will be measured over a long period of time, many decades for that matter.

Great! I think that this mission is critical. I am not sure where this program is located. So, a possible unintended consequence would be backlash from communities for teaching young people such topics.

Mission: To promote sustainable socio-economic solutions to local problems

What the organisation does:
Facilitating and improving the employable skills of residents to enhance their participation in the job market.
the organisation also undertaking participatory evaluation and results measurement of the extractive industry corporate social investment and offer recommendations to improve its effectiveness and incorporate lessons learned and best practices in the design of CSR.

I think an unintended consequence on your organisations activities to me could be social or moral. an example is e your organisation becomes more or less a shelter for children escaping marriage

Could it be that your targeted group (employees)are casual workers? If my guess is right then a possible consequence may be ethical, which could be poor attitude to their original jobs

I really love the activities of your organisation. The sustainability aspect in terms of continuity is assured as the nutritional aspects of food will now be viewed as determinant for sales

I am very much interested in your for we are doing almost the same in the community.

Good mission statement. I think one of the unintended consequences will be having so many of them graduate and not get a white collar job in the labour market because of the competition.

Help us to adopt learners in low income school:
Activities:
Reading 4 meaning- Improve thier reading.
Numbers 4 life- levels of understanding numbers which is Math.

The unintended consequence may be the learners who have a negative attitude to Maths may see the project as a burden at the initial phases. This may lead to late realization of project goals

Mission :enhanced refugee access to quality education
Activity : To provide scholarship opportunities to refugees in kenya

Good mission statement. I think one of the unintended consequences is influx of refugees or people claiming refugee status in order to access scholarship to study in Kenya.

An Unintended consequence may be environmental degradation caused by refugees influx into the country that may strain the natural resources which may lead to deforestation.

Write your organization’s eight-word mission. Then, describe your organization’s activities in two to four sentences. Post both your mission statement and activities description.

My organizations eight-word statement: Empoverished families in the Philippines achieving financial independence.

Activities:
We identify poor families especialy the poorest among the poor families in target barangay (community). We gather them and teach them livelihood programs suitable and doable in their community. As we teach them livelihood programs, we also teach them how to save and how to manage their finances, just the basic financial intelligence. Side by side with this, we also give inputs in the spiritual aspect.

The unintended consequence of this is that the parents of these vulnerable children would become dependent of your organization's support. The parents of the children should be also part of your organization's program so that they will be able to continue your organization's support to vulnerable children.

Mission: Grow reading levels of learners in SA townships

We do reading for meaning activities that help the children understand meaning of words before they read interesting pieces of short stories. The learners to word quizzes with the sight-words from a story and when they finally read the short story it is easier for them to grasp the story.

Good mission statement. I noticed that in the process of your organization's teaching reading comprehension, the valueing of the story was not included. So the unintended consequence of this is that the learners may overlook the valueing (the moral) in every story that they will read.

I really like ur mission statement because at least we have to make the world a better place But the main problem is that those poorest people might not want to follow up with this because they might be thinking what are they going to save when they had none

Reducing children's morality rate from Measles in Nigeria.
Massive publicity on television, radio, news media and social media. The dangers of measles as related to both its morbidity and mortality would be made obvious to the general populace. The traditional rulers will also be engaged to help disabuse the mind of the people from the wrong perception of the people concerning immunization

I think its massive disorder that is affecting a lot of children in Nigeria, It has beed broadcast on radio, television and in some social networks. The main concern is the rulers trying to convince the people that immunization is a bad way of treating measles
