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 1045095 732135 Spiritual Development - In 2024, Childcare Worldwide's Life Center program served an average of 1,643 children weekly through 74 Life Centers in partnership with 66 local churches. Each week, children gathered for biblical instruction, mentorship, music, games, and a nutritious meal. Churches (carefully screened to ensure missional and biblical alignment) provided facilities, teachers, and pastoral support; programming, training, curriculum, materials, and food were supplied by CW. In 2024, Life Center Membership was launched, allowing 455 non-sponsorship children, including 80 first-time participants, to experience Life Centers. All 4000+ children in our program participated in Easter and Christmas celebrations which included gospel messages, parties, and holistic gifts. (Continued in Schedule O)Hope Pack (Easter) and Love Pack (Christmas) parties continued to be the highlights of the year for all our 4000+ children. At these holiday celebrations (held at Life Centers), children receive gifts and enjoy food, festivity and most of all the gospel message. Easter Hope Packs contained staple food and devotional materials for families. At Christmas, children received Love Packs filled with practical and faith-centered gifts. These seasonal outreaches reinforced the gospel message and provided joy to children and their families. With about 63% of the child population being in high school or college and unable to attend weekly Life Centers, teen-focused special events and spiritual resources continued to support older students. Twelve special Life Center events throughout the year focused on spiritual growth, leadership, and fellowship among teens and young adults. Participants also received weekly devotional guides and joined virtual small groups for deeper discipleship and connection. 1012625 893473 Education - Access to education helps children overcome poverty and develop into capable leaders. In many communities, school fees are unaffordable for families. Through the school fee program, 3,152 children received financial assistance to attend and stay in school in 2024. School supplies were provided to 715 children, and uniforms were given to 440. Relationships with school administrators were strengthened, and attendance was verified each term before paying fees. Educational and career counseling was offered to high school graduates and students struggling academically, helping them plan for the future. 293017 213882 Holistic Care - Physical needs can be barriers to receiving educational and spiritual messages. Childcare Worldwide provided over 2,800 holistic gifts in 2024, including water filters (648), mattresses (125), hygiene packs for teen girls (1,505), emergency food (254), and critical medical aid (9). Two medical screening events serving 413 children were hosted, and four water catchment systems were installed benefiting not only the Life Centers but also the greater communities. In addition to the critical assistance described above, every child in our program received Christmas and Easter gifts. At Easter, 4,500 food packs were distributed; at Christmas, 4,300 children received gifts. Throughout the year, more than 82,000 meals were served to children attending the weekly Life Center program. 2350737 1 0 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 9 0 1 21 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 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 102 Grover Street 207 Lynden WA 98264 Alan Artman Prior Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kara Millhollin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lawrence Thiessen Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Vander Pol Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Miles Custis Secretary 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stacey Gibson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Chestnut Prior Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Justin Schoonover Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Andy Skipton Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Todd White Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Nienhuis President & CEO 60.00 X 136483 0 4251 136483 0 4251 1 0 0 0 0 2943593 2943593 33424 33424 Other income 900099 1013 1013 1013 2978030 0 0 34437 1839490 1839490 140734 70367 70367 844521 301626 203677 339218 34201 13330 10954 9917 84595 28919 26856 28820 23500 23500 135081 23617 3207 108257 15087 7040 6080 1967 56030 31527 11119 13384 41231 14437 23499 3295 21346 18869 1216 1261 1286 515 546 225 3882 3882 42801 1000 17785 24016 3283785 2350737 402688 530360 196536 187814 1098789 714177 2776 18884 4845 13481 13481 1287 0 30879 32352 74083 54291 1420458 996255 57762 38208 189705 112776 29451 6966 276918 157950 X 760058 509913 383482 328392 1143540 838305 1420458 996255 -305755 520 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4066617 3491611 3310601 3366613 2943593 17179035 4066617 3491611 3310601 3366613 2943593 17179035 17179035 15726 6322 5863 28102 33424 89437 3727 1013 4740 17273212 0.99450 0.99570 X 13481 13481 0 0 Unemployment tax trust 48188 ROU assets 6103 54291 Lease liabilities 6966 6966 2978550 520 520 2978030 0 2978030 3283785 0 3283785 0 3283785 1 Sub-Saharan Africa - Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, 0 0 Grantmaking Child sponsorship, Life Centers, other 1446440 South America - Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, 0 0 Grantmaking Child sponsorship, Life Centers, other 237035 South Asia - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, 0 0 Grantmaking Child sponsorship, Life Centers, other 136380 East Asia and the Pacific - Australia, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, 0 0 Grantmaking Child sponsorship, other 19635 0 0 0 0 0 0 1839490 0 1839490 Sub-Saharan Africa - Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Child sponsorship, Life Centers, other 544104 Electronic funds transfer 0 South America - Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, Child sponsorship, Life Centers, other 237035 Electronic funds transfer 0 Sub-Saharan Africa - Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Child sponsorship, Life Centers, other 902336 Electronic funds transfer 0 South Asia - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Child sponsorship, Life Centers, other 72840 Electronic funds transfer 0 South Asia - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Child sponsorship, other 63540 Electronic funds transfer 0 East Asia and the Pacific - Australia, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Child sponsorship, other 19635 Electronic funds transfer 0 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 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. Methods include yearly or biannual visits to the foreign affiliate offices by management, weekly calls between the US and field staff in each region across departments, collaborative documents and spreadsheets that allow the organization and foreign affiliates to share data, and monitoring of weekly attendance at each Life Center and special events. Additionally, the foreign affiliates send weekly photos and videos of children, activities and ongoing projects. Projects are monitored closely at every stage, from the initial proposal to detailed budgets to review of actual expenditures. The organization has direct contact with field auditors and maintains strong relationships with them, requiring yearly audits of both financial and program activities. The accounting systems of the foreign affiliates are accessible by the US finance department for real time monitoring and feedback.
