This past year has brought many exciting changes to our work in that region. Hope Springs Water has helped to form an Ethiopian national NGO (non-governmental organization, or nonprofit organization) with a home office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. There are five national employees who run the office; handle governmental affairs and agreements/permissions; organize, plan, and monitor our projects; and help plan and execute all logistical requirements for the five or six teams that travel there during the dry season every year to drill water wells, work on sanitation projects, teach hygiene education in the schools, and provide the Hope for Girls menstrual management program and materials to girls to help them stay in school following menarche. We were blessed to be able to drill five wells in 2020 throughout the Illuu and Tollee Waredas. The five functional wells provide water for between 1500 and 2000 people who live in those rural villages. In 2020 Hope Springs Water added our newest W.A.S.H. (water, sanitation, hygiene) zone in Bungoma County, Kenya, where the initial water wells are planned to help widows and orphans. In September we drilled our first deep water well near the Myanga village orphanage and was drilled at 80 meters and equipped with an electric pump and controls that will provide water for the orphanage and the surrounding village of 6,000 people. Hope Springs Water also helped orphans in the Bungoma area with their health care needs by sponsoring antimalarial and typhoid vaccinations. These together reduced the number of hospitalized children by 85%. 41415 15388 Despite the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Hope for Girls program distributed 774 menstrual hygiene management kits to girls in Belize and Mexico in 2020. With a great focus on fundraising, we were able to increase the program's income. In preparation for future distributions, 5,000 tote bags, 6 bolts of PUL fabric, and 4,000 menstrual cups were purchased for the assembly of the MHM kits to be distributed in 2021-2022. Belize had a successful trip in January 2020. 13336 8012 In 2020, we were able to use funds for relief efforts for Hurricanes that hit the US as well as storms that hit Nicaragua. Hurricane Laura hit in August of 2020. We were able to send water and supplies because of relief funds Hope Springs Water has raised. Towards the end of 2020, Hope Springs Water helped in relief efforts along the Nicaraguan coast. We are hopeful to continue to raise funds for relief efforts each year. 0 0 0 240625 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 TX X X Bliss Nelson 8172919247 PO Box 1567 Athens TX 75751 Bliss Nelson Executive Director 40 10 X 53861 0 0 Colleen Nelson School Health Education Coordinator 30 10 X 41304 0 0 Eddy Dark Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 Charles T Mettetal Trustee 35 5 X 0 0 0 Stephen Akin Trustee/President 10 2 X X 0 0 0 Mike Gillert Trustee/Vice-President 5 1 X X 0 0 0 Frank Tindle Treasurer/Secretary 15 5 X X 0 0 0 Jimmy Leatherwood Trustee 5 1 X 0 0 0 Debbie Leatherwood Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 Richard Drummond Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jamie Running Trustee 5 2 X 0 0 0 Suzan Stutts Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 Don Greenlee Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 Bo Jackson Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 Candace Donnell Trustee 5 2 X 0 0 0 95165 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 21808 0 16611 224769 0 263188 0 0 0 0 0 0 21727 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 263188 0 0 0 5000 5000 153648 153648 66701 33351 33350 0 9171 4586 4585 4282 1287 2995 8942 8737 80 125 5724 4970 754 8334 7275 1050 9 9354 9037 317 287 287 111 111 4139 4139 4200 3853 347 Ethiopia and Hope for Girls 388 388 0 0 Miscellaneous 959 20 939 0 Central America 2157 2157 0 0 Relief 1890 1890 0 0 285287 240625 44528 134 212113 147083 0 28050 1981 1820 13650 36941 0 0 4139 0 311 311 232194 214205 17121 20200 2864 3895 19985 24095 X 134726 125050 77483 65060 212209 190110 232194 214205 -22099 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 251110 203255 192144 358529 246577 1251615 0 0 0 0 0 9548 0 0 0 9548 260658 203255 192144 358529 246577 1261163 1261163 288 288 288 0 0 0 0 288 260946 203255 192144 358529 246577 1261451 0.99977 0.99954 0.00023 0.00046 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 Payroll Liabilities 3895 3895 Sub-Saharan Africa 1 5 Program Services The WaSH (water access, sanitation, and hygiene education) zone that Hope Springs Water is currently actively involved in is in the Southwest Shewa Zone of the state of Oromia, centrally located in the east African country of Ethiopia.
