We connect sponsors with children through Christ-based life centers. With sponsors and life centers removing barriers, children grow spiritually and physically into thriving productive adults. 0 0 1568725 1275331 0 Education - Access to education allows children to escape the cycle of poverty and grow into capable Christian leaders. In many areas, school costs are well beyond what families can afford. With the help of CW's school fee program, children are able to attend and stay in school. We work to develop strong, positive relationships with school administrators. We monitor the educational success of each child, ensuring kids are in school every term before paying school fees. We provide educational and career counseling to high school graduates and kids struggling in school. We may also assist with uniforms, exam fees and school supplies, depending on the expenses for particular regions and grade levels. After high school, children may continue their education in vocational school or university with CW's supplemental assistance. 776362 531362 0 Spiritual Development - Our central mission is to share the gospel with children and help them grow to Christian maturity through our life center program. Each week up to 35 children gather at a nearby partner church to receive solid biblical teaching from loving, dedicated teachers. They enjoy music, games, and a nutritious meal. The partnership with the local church is key, as the church provides the facilities and teachers, while Childcare Worldwide provides curriculum, programming, materials, and food. In 2022 our life center program was re-evaluated to make sure partner churches fully align with our mission, and to take life centers to the next level - improving nutrition in meals, providing musical instruments for worship and more training for teachers. We also started our sibling program, inviting siblings of sponsored children to participate in life center to expand the gospel reach to unchurched children. The life center program was also extended to children in high school and trade/college. They receive weekly messages/devotionals and participate in virtual small group discussions with country staff. Also, during their school breaks they meet for a whole day in each region for bible study, good food, and recreational activities. These concentrated times have brought much fruit, with decisions for Christ, strengthening of their faith, and the forging of strong friendships. Additionally, we have made the two most important Christian dates central events at life centers. For years Christmas was celebrated with love pack gifts. Now we also have hope pack, a special gift in celebration of easter, the death and resurrection of our lord. In both instances, preparatory lessons are provided pointing to the main event, with feasting and celebrating during the Christmas and easter weekends. 465924 359945 0 Holistic Care - Physical barriers can prevent children from internalizing the lifesaving message of Jesus. CW strives to remove the most basic physical barriers kids face by providing access to clean water, healthy food, hygiene supplies, clothing, shelter and medicine. In communities where water access is a critical need, we install and maintain a water catchment system on the properties of partner churches. The system is replenished during rainy seasons and serves the local community with thousands of gallons of rainwater which is filtered to strain away dirt and dangerous pathogens. Girls in our program no longer have to miss school because of their menstrual cycles, thanks to a concerted effort in 2022 to provide our 12-18 year girls with monthly hygiene packs. The families of sponsored children often do not have enough resources to adequately feed themselves. In addition to the nutritious meals served at life centers, we also provide emergency food packages to families facing food shortages due to economic, political or weather-related factors. Other programs help CW provide children with adequate medical care, clothing and shelter for their families. 0 0 0 2811011 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 1 23 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X X Jennifer Smith 3606472283 8334 Guide Meridian Lynden WA 98264 Bill Nienhuis CEO/President 60 0 X 125031 0 3536 Mark Chestnut Chairman 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Alan Artman Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Justin Schoonover Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Bill Milne Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jeff McSorley Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kara Millhollin Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Lawrence Thiessen Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mark Vander Pol Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Miles Custis Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Stacey Gibson Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 125031 0 3536 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3310601 0 3310601 0 5863 0 0 5863 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 68051 0 54154 0 13897 0 13897 0 0 13897 0 Miscellaneous revenue 900099 3727 0 0 3727 0 0 0 0 3727 3334088 0 0 23487 2166637 2166637 128568 64284 64284 1068306 393369 275034 399903 35766 8213 11036 16517 95115 36618 28043 30454 29100 29100 168427 27332 5846 135249 27123 6153 12042 8928 83415 48137 17852 17426 0 54675 23751 20992 9932 50041 35350 266 14425 7561 7561 3835 3835 45463 1167 15074 29222 3964032 2811011 490965 662056 158415 239897 2373809 1675671 1622 14131 24267 45032 26086 26507 18946 78507 14926 4411 41368 122743 2694359 2100861 53727 65767 174000 151000 76277 227727 293044 X 1597695 1127337 868937 680480 2466632 1807817 2694359 2100861 -629944 -28871 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4125948 1174184 4066617 3491611 3310601 16168961 4125948 1174184 4066617 3491611 3310601 16168961 16168961 17801 7261 15726 6322 5863 52973 3727 3727 16225661 0.99651 0.997 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Miscellaneous revenue RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 45032 26086 18946 18946 Unemployment tax trust 45493 ROU assets 77250 122743 0 Lease liabilities 76277 76277 3305217 -28871 0 0 0 -28871 3334088 0 0 0 3334088 3964032 0 0 0 0 0 3964032 0 0 0 3964032 1 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grantmaking 1611005 South America 0 0 Grantmaking 252300 Central America and the Caribbean 0 0 Grantmaking 91105 South Asia 0 0 Grantmaking 181720 East Asia and the Pacific 0 0 Grantmaking 30507 0 0 2166637 Sub-Saharan Africa Child sponsorship, Life Centers, other 533985 Electronic funds transfer 0 South America Child sponsorship, Life Centers, other 252300 Electronic funds transfer 0 Sub-Saharan Africa Child sponsorship, Life Centers, other 1077020 Electronic funds transfer 0 Central America and the Caribbean Child sponsorship 91105 Electronic funds transfer 0 South Asia Child sponsorship, Life Centers, other 41531 Electronic funds transfer 0 South Asia Child sponsorships, other 140189 Electronic funds transfer 0 East Asia and the Pacific Child sponsorship, other 30507 Electronic funds transfer 0 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Management monitors the use of grant funds through a variety of methods with a focus on open lines of communication and transparency of record keeping.
