In 2021, the organization continued this critical work by providing family relief food and hygiend packages, psycho-social and emergency financial support for survivors of gender-based violence, education dialogue sessions with adolescents on critical topics through the Bring Voices Together (BVT) Project, Covid-19 health awareness via community health drives, radio shows and social media campaigns; production and distribution of face masks and distribution of sanitation materials to partner schools. In 2021, as part of the Covid-19 Response Program, GUIU launced the Community Classrooms Project to deliver school curriculum together with human rights education, life skills and age appropriate SRHR information for out-of-school adolescents, filling a major educationoal gap during the prolonged school closures. 71340 69061 0 The Boy Champions Project (BCP) reaches in-school adolescent boys with critical knowledge and information to challenge deeply-held gender normative attitudes and beliefs and improve their knowledge around sexual and reproductive health and rights and gender-based violence.

The project held a total of 28 sessions with 263 adolescent boys from seven schools before schools were closed again due to the Covid-19 pandemic. 66450 64172 0 Other program services in 2021 included the Mazuri Desighs Hub which aims to enhance the economic empowerment of young women through a vocational training course in fashion design and tailoring that is combined with entrepeneurial and personal skills training for out-of-school vulnerable young women ages 16-35 years. 40 young women graduated from the Mazuri Designs Hub in 20210during a fashion show and celebration. 66450 64172 0 349248 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 1 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false true false false false CA X X X HARVEY WOLF 8059671636 4721 VIA LOS SANTOS SANTA BARBARA CA 93111 X SOFIE FREDLUND-BLOMST PRESIDENT 4.00 X X 0 0 0 HILARY HABER VICE-PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CONNIE VIVEROS TREASURER 4.00 X X 0 0 0 HARVEY WOLF SECRETARY 4.00 X X 0 0 0 AYO ROACH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 13779 415214 428993 13779 0 0 0 0 0 428993 0 0 0 340133 340133 38000 7600 7600 22800 3785 757 757 2271 3231 646 646 1939 400 0 400 0 773 0 773 0 783 0 0 783 937 0 834 103 6188 0 2012 4176 16 16 0 0 60 0 0 60 478 96 96 286 California tax filing 75 0 75 0 394859 349248 13193 32418 230522 264656 230522 264656 0 0 X 230522 264656 230522 264656 230522 264656 34134 X false false false false X 0 138019 211760 284003 427906 428993 1490681 0 0 138019 211760 284003 427906 428993 1490681 693731 796950 0 0 0 1490681 0.53460 0.57100 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Sub-Saharan Africa General Support 1 false false false false false false Pt VI, Line 8b The organization has no committees at this time, and therefore, no documentation is available.
