Furthermore, RNM is committed to addressing the need to remove conditions that lead to abject poverty, cycles of disease, and ill health, especially among children and women thru sustainable development. Working with donor partners and volunteers, RNM focuses on reducing shortages of sanitary water as it shares the gospel of Christ the living water to improve school attendance, health & hygiene habits for the desperately poor. RNM also uses solar power, safe Water Access, and Hygiene education as a tool for integral mission, thereby using the opportunity to share the love of Christ through its intentional gospel proclamation activities We had 2 fundraising campaigns in 2021 during the mid-year Walk 4 Water and the October Water Relief Gala events to raise money for the ministry. Both functions were reasonably well attended by about 135 different volunteers. We also used the September 9/11 Shell Oil Company Heroes Program to help us raise some matching funds to reach the minimum public support level of 33% of the funds raised in 2020. The majority of our funds came from grants from the Giles family foundations and the Government Covid-19 grants/PPP loans that were forgiven. Specific water well project funding that we used to get from partners like LWI in the USA was discontinued in the prior year. However, we were also successful in locally generated revenue in Nigeria used in-country to do a few deep well projects and sustain our local staff - the drill teams and the Health & Hygiene WASH teams. Overall, we drilled 8 new public wells, 4 privately sponsored wells for private-ministry partnership well projects that supply the communities where the sponsor owns the property, plus 8 Rehabilitation wells. Further, we conducted Hygiene and Sanitation training in all the sites where we drilled new wells or did rehab projects. The WASH team also did an average of 1-2 Site Visits per month to old water well project sites that are successful and functional from as far back as 2003. That means a minimum of 12 Sites were visited to confirm the functionality of their water well projects, reinforce hygiene training, and share the gospel of Christ as the need arises. 62213 X 27500 Other international charity work we did was to provide food, and support for staff/teachers at 3 Orphanages / Widow Care ministries or partners in India and did a water well rehab for an Orphanage in Nigeria. Provided a motorbike to Orphanage 2 in India for food and miscellaneous transportation services. 9500 X 31200 Finally, we invested in our Workshop landed property in Aba, Abia State by rebuilding part of the fallen fencing; adding a security gate raised the land from flood plains by sand-filling it plus a topping off with some crushed rocks and constructed the Gate House for Security into the Workshop premises. 2500 X 3750 62450 Dr Ambrose S O Okorie President / Founder 36 1600 0 1500 Michael D Smith Secretary 2 0 0 0 Cyril E Okeke Treasurer / Associate Events Director 2 0 0 0 Emile Chuck Toups Director - Strategy and Planning 2 0 0 0 David Durkin Director V-TEN 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 TX Cyril E Okeke PO BOX 1307 LEAGUE CITY TX 775741307 8326926348 1 NI 1 NI 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 192769 123623 69822 89821 116771 592806 3500 4055 5565 0 0 13120 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 196269 127678 75387 89821 116771 605926 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 605926 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10958 0 46000 21679 78637 196269 138636 75387 135821 138450 684563 0.88513 0.92024 0 0.00000 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Income from Fundraising campaigns and Online campaigns.

Our reasonable cause for late filing is as follows: the booking company was unable to complete the review and analysis of the accounting records on time due in part to changing to a different accounting software mid-year and running short of staff to handle their volume of work. Secondly, the President who works closely with our treasurer to complete the 990-EZ suffered from COVID-19 attack and had to quarantine himself over a period of 2 weeks leading up to our due date.
