1) IS NO MEANS NO A NON PROFIT?
Yes, we are a non profit, but we run on a solid business model. Our donors are shareholders and we owe them a successful return on their investment -  which in our case is a profound and measurable impact in the lives of our clients. Ongoing research with assistance from the Children’s Health Council of Stanford will provide us with up to date data on the true efficacy of our work.

2) ARE NO MEANS NO WORLDWIDE AND NO MEANS NO USA TWO DIFFERENT ORGS?
No, we are one and the same organization. We will be doing a great deal of research and development locally and using that data to help in our international programming.

3) WHAT HAPPENED TO I’M WORTH DEFENDING? Though Lee Sinclair is the founder of I’M WORTH DEFENDING KENYA,  and managed the organization for just over 2 years,  she and our funding group are no longer associated with the group in Kenya.

4) DID I HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT CHEERLEADERS?
Yes, NMNUSA  is developing a pilot program that will be taught by a diverse group of college age cheerleaders! They will be teaching life skills, movement and our global safety curriculum to high school girls in the San Francisco Bay area. Girls have been cheering the boys on long enough, it’s time we cheered for each other! Fight team Fight!
