WE DREAM OF A WORLD WHERE EVERY GIRL AND YOUNG WOMAN IS EDUCATED, VALUED, RESPECTED, AND REALIZES HER FULL POTENTIAL. 1 0 582373 454374 CENTERS FOR EXCELLENCE: THE KAKENYA CENTERS FOR EXCELLENCE (KCE I AND II) ARE FULL-SUPPORT BOARDING SCHOOLS THAT PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATION TO THE MOST GIRLS IN OUR REGION OF RURAL SOUTHWESTERN KENYA. KCE I AND II PROVIDE 394 STUDENTS IN GRADES 4-12 WITH THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO EXCEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND A LOCAL NGO, THE STUDENTS RECEIVE HIGH-QUALITY INSTRUCTION IN FIVE CORE AREAS: LANGUAGES, MATH, SCIENCE, TECHNICAL SKILLS, AND HUMANITIES. THE SCHOOLS ALSO PROVIDE PEER MENTORSHIP, LEADERSHIP, LIFE-SKILLS TRAINING, AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES TO HELP THE STUDENTS BECOME CONFIDENT YOUNG ADULTS AND AGENTS OF CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. 100% OF THE CURRENT STUDENTS HAVE AVOIDED FGM AND CHILD MARRIAGE. 571551 445931 HEALTH AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING: WITH EXTREMELY LIMITED HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION IN THE REGION, MOST PEOPLE KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THEIR BODIES, SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, AND THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF FGM AND CHILD MARRIAGE. WITH ITS KENYAN PARTNER, KAKENYA'S DREAM LAUNCHED HEALTH AND LEADERSHIP TRAININGS TO EDUCATE BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS ON FGM, CHILD MARRIAGE, AND SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH. NEARLY 35,000 STUDENTS HAVE BEEN TRAINED AT 202 SCHOOLS. TO FURTHER MEET THE REGION'S DIRE HEALTHCARE NEEDS, IN 2024 WE OPENED THE COMMUNITY'S FIRST AND ONLY HEALTH CLINIC PROVIDING PRIMARY CARE, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, AND STIGMA-FREE SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE CARE. THE CLINIC HAS PROVIDED CARE FOR 3,696 INDIVIDUALS IN ITS FIRST SIX MONTHS OF OPERATION. 401118 312956 NETWORK FOR EXCELLENCE: THE NETWORK FOR EXCELLENCE SUPPORTS OUR KCE ALUMNAE AS THEY MAKE THE CRITICAL TRANSITIONS TO HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND EARLY ADULTHOOD, A TIME WHEN MOST GIRLS IN OUR COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE INCREASING PRESSURE TO GET MARRIED AND ARE OFTEN FORCED TO DROP OUT. WORKING ALONGSIDE OUR LOCAL PARTNER, WE HAVE PROVIDED OVER 420 STUDENTS WITH COLLEGE AND CAREER GUIDANCE, SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL AID, TUTORING, PROFESSIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT SO THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SET UP FOR SUCCESS IN ADULTHOOD. THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO SUPPORT KCE ALUMNAE TO REACH THEIR FIRST-CHOICE DESTINATION, WHETHER THAT'S A UNIVERSITY EDUCATION, TRADE SCHOOL, OR EMPLOYMENT, AS WELL AS TO ENSURE JOB READINESS SO THAT THEY CAN ACHIEVE ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT. 1555042 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 1 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CO FL GA IL MA MD ME MI MN NC NY OH OR PA VA X X BETH COSBY 5715274960 4250 NORTH FAIRFAX DRIVE SUITE 600 ARLINGTON VA 22203 PAMELA REEVES BOARD CHAIR 3.00 X X 0 0 0 MIKE O'KANE VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHY HALL SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 TARA BUNCH TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 AMY BLACKWOOD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHY BONK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LESLIE CALMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH CRAVEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DIANE CROCKETT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KELLY DENSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANNE-MAREA GRIFFIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RACHEL HACKER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BETTY HUDSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANISA TOOTLA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KAKENYA NTAIYA FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT 40.00 X 152754 0 9223 EMILY BARNHILL DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 101475 0 14197 254229 0 23420 2 0 1 0 0 2192306 2192306 74375 74375 2266681 0 0 74375 1213261 1213261 161977 110144 24297 27536 396710 127041 133853 135816 14979 3238 5180 6561 32446 11534 9312 11600 41536 18090 10728 12718 28633 28633 22988 17142 5846 5860 4773 1087 30229 6589 16691 6949 4247 3987 260 26897 12456 6440 8001 24497 21379 49 3069 3615 1987 168 1460 7012 7012 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 15237 3421 6002 5814 STATE REGISTRATION FEES 2534 2534 2032658 1555042 258092 219524 764757 9063 1422561 2812087 674799 265297 8769 7491 557320 627127 36665 12546 3464871 3733611 12772 18719 32575 8324 45347 27043 X 1958930 2650616 1460594 1055952 3419524 3706568 3464871 3733611 234023 53021 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2060666 1632050 2164418 2063466 2192306 10112906 2060666 1632050 2164418 2063466 2192306 10112906 1978460 8134446 5118 10656 36578 74375 126727 3367 1924 615 5906 10245539 0.79400 0.75100 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2020 AMOUNT: $ 3,367. 2021 AMOUNT: $ 1,924. 2022 AMOUNT: $ 615. 2023 AMOUNT: $ 0. 2024 AMOUNT: $ 0.

GIRLS IN THE INDIGENOUS MAASAI COMMUNITY REGULARLY STOP GOING TO SCHOOL AND ARE MARRIED OFF IN ADOLESCENCE AFTER UNDERGOING FGM, A PAINFUL AND HARMFUL PRACTICE THAT IS CONSIDERED A RITE OF PASSAGE TO ADULTHOOD AND MARRIAGE. WHEN GIRLS ARE NOT EDUCATED, THE CYCLE OF MARGINALIZATION CONTINUES FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT, WITH THE MEN AND TRIBAL ELDERS DICTATING A GIRL'S PRESENT AND FUTURE WITHOUT CONSIDERING HER SOCIAL, FINANCIAL, PHYSICAL, OR EMOTIONAL WELLBEING. SINCE 2008, KAKENYA'S DREAM HAS BEEN CHANGING BELIEFS ABOUT THE VALUE OF GIRLS' EDUCATION AND EMPOWERMENT. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR LOCAL PARTNER IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE TO GENERATE SUPPORT FOR PROGRAM DESIGN, DEMONSTRATE TRANSPARENCY AND ENCOURAGE TRUST, ENSURE THAT THE INTERVENTIONS ARE APPROPRIATE TO THE LOCAL CONTEXT, AND PROMOTE LEADERSHIP FROM WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THE THREE CORE PROGRAMS (CENTERS FOR EXCELLENCE, HEALTH AND LEADERSHIP, AND NETWORK FOR EXCELLENCE) ARE DESIGNED TO EMPOWER AND MOTIVATE STUDENTS THROUGH EDUCATION, HEALTH, AND LEADERSHIP INITIATIVES TO BECOME AGENTS OF CHANGE AND TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF HARMFUL TRADITIONAL PRACTICES SUCH AS FGM AND CHILD MARRIAGE.
