THE FOUNDATION'S FIRST MAJOR PROJECT WAS THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MARIAL BAI SECONDARY SCHOOL, WHICH OPENED IN 2009 WITH A PILOT CLASS OF 85 STUDENTS CHOSEN FROM THOUSANDS OF APPLICANTS ACROSS SOUTH SUDAN. THE MARIAL BAI SECONDARY SCHOOL NOW OFFERS A VARIETY OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY SERVICE INCLUDING: STUDENT GOVERNMENT, DRAMA AND DEBATE CLUBS, BOY SCOUTS AND GIRL GUIDES, COMPETITIVE SPORTS PROGRAMS, AND SOCIAL ACTION GROUPS. 0 0 76333 GIRLS EDUCATION IN THE FORM OF AN ALL GIRLS SCHOOL (ALOK GIRLS' ACADEMY) IS THE VAD FOUNDATION'S LARGEST PROGRAM. IN 2021, 800 GIRLS ENROLLED AT AGA, MAKING IT THE FOUNDATION'S LARGEST ACADEMIC YEAR IN ITS HISTORY. STUDENTS ATTEND CLASSES FEBRUARY THROUGH DECEMBER (SOUTH SUDAN ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR) WHERE OUR STAFF OF TEACHERS CONDUCT LESSONS IN ENGLISH, SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, WRITING, HISTORY, AND GEOGRAPHY. STUDENTS ALSO PARTICIPATE IN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES SUCH AS SOCCER AND VOLLEYBALL, DRAMA CLUB, AND DEBATE TEAM. OUR TRADITIONAL EDUCATION/SCHOOLING PROGRAM IS OUR PRIMARY FOCUS. 55978 IN 2021, THE SECOND LARGEST PROGRAM WAS OUR MEDIA PROGRAM THAT WAS SUPPORTED BY A GRANT THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED FROM INTERNEWS (USAID). THROUGH THIS GRANT, THE FOUNDATION IMPLEMENTED A MEDIA TRAINING PROGRAM TO SUPPORT LOCAL MEDIA FOR DISPLACED COMMUNITIES AND REFUGEES IN SOUTH SUDAN. THROUGH THE GRANT AND THE PROGRAM, WE TRAINED 415 STUDENTS IN MEDIA AND DRAMA IN PERFORMANCE-BASED EDUCATION. MEDIA AND PLAYS THAT WERE PRODUCED FOCUSED ON EDUCATION ON GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE, HEALTH AND HYGIENE, PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, AND CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY. MANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS ATTEND THE PLAYS THAT WERE PUT ON THROUGHOUT THE REGION. 45 STUDENTS FROM THE LARGER GROUP RECEIVED ADDITIONAL TRAINING IN CAMERAWORK, VIDEO EDITING, SCRIPTING, AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT. OVER 2500 COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN HELPED THROUGH THE SERVICES OF MEDIA AND STORY-TELLING. 25444 VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS ARE THE THIRD LARGEST PROGRAM THAT THE FOUNDATION HAS. THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS, WE TRAIN COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN MASONRY, CARPENTRY, SEWING, FARMING, AQUACULTURE, AND BEE-KEEPING. THESE STUDENTS AND ADULTS ARE THEN ABLE TO BECOME ENTREPRENEURS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND MAKE A LIVING TO HELP SUPPORT THEIR FAMILY. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WE TRAINED OVER 200 COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THESE PROGRAMS. THE ABOVE PROGRAMS ARE THE MAIN FOCUSES OF THE FOUNDATION; HOWEVER, WE DO OFFER HEALTH AND HYGIENE CLINICS AND TRAINING, WHICH STARTED AS A RESULT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. 157755 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 2 1 0 1 KE 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X AMANDA BUCHHOLTZ 4155508840 849 VALENCIA STREET SAN FRANCISCO CA 94110 VALENTINO ACHAK DENG EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/CO-FOUNDER 40.00 X X 78000 0 0 DAVE EGGERS CO-FOUNDER 5.00 X 0 0 0 GREG LARSON PRESIDENT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 TIFFANIE DEBARTOLO VICE PRESIDENT 3.00 X X 0 0 0 REECE HIRSCH SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ANN GOLDBLATT BOARD MEMBER 10.00 X 0 0 0 PHIL MAYS BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT SHUMAKER BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN HERLIHY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 78000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18750 127655 97693 244098 358 358 0 18750 1700 -1700 -1700 242756 0 0 -1342 78000 78000 77468 38734 38734 3782 3782 12544 12544 9193 9193 12198 12198 2265 2265 18926 9000 9926 20643 20643 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM EXP 59160 59160 OTHER PROGRAM EXPENSES 11595 11595 PAYROLL FEES 1669 1669 307443 157755 101028 48660 227476 166813 387 387 969331 343486 646487 625845 238840 248496 785 785 1113975 1042326 9118 10657 9118 10657 X 0 0 0 0 1104857 1031669 1104857 1031669 1113975 1042326 -64687 9299 -17800 0 X 0 0 0 X 394795 425037 286404 418498 244098 1768832 394795 425037 286404 418498 244098 1768832 136025 1632807 21652 2654 3301 1964 358 29929 1798761 0.90770 0.87520 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 93941 93941 559605 163658 395947 198273 62316 135957 117512 117512 0 625845 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA - ANGOLA, BENIN, BOTSWANA, BURKINA, FASO, 1 20 PROGRAM SERVICES - TRADITIONAL SCHOOL/EDUCATION, VOCATIONAL TRAINING SEE PART V 157755 1 20 0 0 1 20 157755 0 157755 0 0 0 0 0 0 PART I, LINE 2: ALL FUNDS ARE TRANSFERRED FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S U.S. BANK ACCOUNT TO THE FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT ON A CALENDAR YEAR COINCIDING WITH THE PROGRAMMING CALENDAR FOR PRE-BUDGETED EXPENSES.
