RVF IS A NON-POLITICAL, NON-PARTISAN CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION. 0 0 1040528 22791 RVF'S MAJOR INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE SAFE WATER FOR DRINKING AND PERSONAL HYGIENE TO OVER 230,000 SCHOOLCHILDREN IN GAZA, MADE POSSIBLE BY A GRANT FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UAE, WAS FORCED TO BE SUSPENDED IN OCTOBER 2023 OWING TO THE OUTBREAK OF WAR. ACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATER IS A GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITY. IN THE GAZA STRIP, HOME TO OVER 2 MILLION PEOPLE, THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE NEED FOR POTABLE WATER, ESPECIALLY IN SCHOOLS. 125 UNRWA SCHOOLS IN GAZA WERE TO BE EQUIPPED WITH DESALINATION UNITS AND RENEWABLE ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE DRINKING WATER AND PROMOTE HYGIENE EDUCATION. EACH SCHOOL WAS TO HAVE ITS OWN DESALINATION UNIT EQUIPPED WITH A SOLAR POWER SUPPLY TO AVOID RELIANCE ON GAZA'S WEAK ELECTRIC GRID. RVF-LED TRAINING OF SCHOOL STAFF AND STUDENTS TO BUILD GOOD HYGIENE HABITS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY AS WELL AS AT HOME WAS DESIGNED TO HELP PREVENT DISEASE TRANSMISSION. A TOTAL OF THREE TENDERS AWARDED TO LOCAL SUPPLIERS IN GAZA BEFORE OCTOBER 2023 TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN THE IMPORTED STATE-OF-THE-ART DESALINATION UNITS SUPPORTED ON-THE-GROUND CAPACITY. GIVEN THE SCOPE OF THE DESTRUCTION IN GAZA AS A RESULT OF THE ONGOING WAR, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW THIS PROGRAM WILL BE EXECUTED ONCE THE WAR ENDS. RVF IS IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UAE, WHO WILL WORK WITH US TO ASSESS THE NEXT STEPS AT THAT TIME. 853541 120510 RVF WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN. THE LARGEST SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE PROGRAMS INTRODUCING MODERN VACCINES FOR CHILDREN INTO THE NATIONAL ROUTINE VACCINATION SCHEDULES IN MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES (MICS) AND PUBLISHING THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL RESULTS OF THE PROGRAMS IN PEER-REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS. THE VACCINATION PROGRAMS ARE IMPLEMENTED ENTIRELY BY LOCAL HEALTH CARE WORKERS, THEREBY BUILDING LOCAL CAPACITY AND OWNERSHIP FROM THE BEGINNING, AND ARE FULLY SUSTAINED BY THE HOST GOVERNMENTS WITHIN 3 YEARS OF INCEPTION. FOLLOWING THE RVF-INITIATED ROTAVIRUS VACCINATION PROGRAM FOR ALL INFANTS IN GAZA AND THE WEST BANK - APPROXIMATELY 135,000 BABIES ANNUALLY WHICH CONTINUES TO BE FULLY SUSTAINED BY THE PALESTINIAN MINISTRY OF HEALTH, RVF, WITH FINANCING FROM THE BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION, IS CONDUCTING SURVEILLANCE DOCUMENTING THE IMPACT OF THE ROTAVIRUS VACCINE ON THE DISEASE BURDEN THROUGH THE YEAR 2025. THE RESULTS OF THE FIRST PHASE OF THE SURVEILLANCE WERE PUBLISHED IN THE PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL VACCINE. IN EGYPT RVF HAS LAUNCHED AN INITIATIVE TO INTRODUCE THE ROTAVIRUS VACCINE INTO THE NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULE FOR CHILDREN AND TO TRANSFER THE TECHNOLOGY TO MANUFACTURE THE VACCINE IN THE COUNTRY. AS PART OF THE INITIATIVE RVF HAS COMPLETED ITS BASELINE STUDY OF ROTAVIRUS DISEASE IN EGYPT. THE STUDY WAS FINANCED BY THE BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION AND PUBLISHED IN THE EGYPTIAN PHARMACEUTICAL JOURNAL. 1894069 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 2 0 1 4 1 0 1 GG RS OC 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X X MERLE NILK 2022965730 1776 K STREET NW 7TH FLOOR WASHINGTON DC 20006 ELENA ROSTROPOVICH PRESIDENT 5.00 X X 0 0 0 THOMAS R PICKERING CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 CATHERINE MANNICK SECRETARY/TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 RAZAN AL SHATTI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 EDWIN ASTURIAS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN BEYRLE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CONSUELO DUROC-DANNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MONIQUE DUROC-DANNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LUBNA HUSSAIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NATASHA LEBEDEVA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ORIN LEVINE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 J STEPHEN MORRISON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GHASSAN MUSTAKLEM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY A NEARING DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STANLEY PLOTKIN MD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN RUSSIN DIRECTOR UNTIL 12/2022 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM P AMOSS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 177373 0 22162 MERLE NILK FINANCE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 113762 0 11510 291135 0 33672 2 0 1 0 0 1113540 1113540 SERVICE FEES 900099 120510 120510 120510 48606 48606 13005873 12857421 148452 148452 148452 1431108 120510 0 197058 22791 22791 419053 341035 65070 12948 354939 340881 11972 2086 1322 1282 10 30 59397 50200 7915 1282 12763 10655 1784 324 34211 34211 35324 28876 6448 113365 108330 5035 38614 12887 25727 14658 14658 52306 50416 1890 54147 28638 25509 9250 8232 1018 5142 5142 PROGRAM MATERIALS & SVC 855635 855635 2082917 1894069 172178 16670 109788 79581 2381224 112449 316870 120600 45339 74793 44008 2005 30785 3775648 4514531 8756 301000 6594291 5204285 54923 44049 34386 784218 0 839141 78435 X 318911 586339 5436239 4539511 5755150 5125850 6594291 5204285 -651809 22509 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1339702 874897 902374 6333793 1113540 10564306 1339702 874897 902374 6333793 1113540 10564306 3338412 7225894 565 836 185 10603 48606 60795 3016 3016 10628117 779230 0.67990 0.70310 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MISCELLANEOUS - 2020 AMOUNT: $ 3,016.
