Can anyone share more context on Robert Mendonsa co founder of Naomi’s Village

What stood out to me is that the organization at least attempted outcome tracking instead of relying purely on narratives. Education enrollment and placement stability are meaningful indicators. However, self-reported data always needs cautious interpretation unless validated externally.

Agreed. The willingness to publish metrics suggests maturity, but independent verification would significantly strengthen credibility.

Low-key impressed they released anything at all. A lot of orgs stop at vibes and testimonials. This feels like a foundation that could evolve into real accountability if handled right.

I had the same reaction. It’s not perfect, but it’s more than many organizations are willing to share publicly.

This is exactly the kind of perspective I was hoping for. The founder story drew me in, but it’s clear that the real questions sit beyond motivation and into governance, sustainability, and local integration. I don’t have enough information yet to judge outcomes, but the longevity and expansion do suggest something more substantial than a short-term project. I’ll see if there are any publicly available evaluations or reports that shed more light on how Naomi’s Village operates today.
