We do this by providing safe foster homes and by paying all the costs for orphans to attend a primary school for orphans only (Amani Primary School for Orphans), located in the village of Riosiri, Migori County, Kenya. We also partner with community based healthcare providers to sponsor disease awareness and prevention programs and to pay for medicines and hospital care for the poor in the community. The Foundation provided food, uniforms, books and supplies and free primary school tuition for 18 orphans at the Amani Primary School for Orphans in Riosiri, Kenya. 0 16950 The Foundation sponsored 3 days of free medical clinics in Riosiri, Kenya for children, expectant mothers, handicapped individuals and the elderly. We paid for all of the medical professional labor all of the supplies and medications and for any needed hospitalizations or clinic visits. We also built a classroom for the local public primary school, hosted several volunteers during the year and provided sanitary napkins for the entire year for 106 primary age girls. 0 12518 The Foundation paid for housing, food, clothing, books and supplies, tuition and medical care for 6 additional orphans in various schools. 0 10397 39865 Johanna Johannsdottir President 0.5 0 0 0 Andre Masumbuko Vice-President 0.5 0 0 0 Cheryl Wood Secretary 4 0 0 0 Michael E Wood Treasurer 12.00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 39040 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Michael E Wood 6704 Admiral Ave Fair Oaks CA 95628 5303681997 1 KE 1 KE 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 6280 13670 29950 60699 110599 0 6280 13670 29950 60699 110599 59824 50775 0 0 0 8 8 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 110615 13415 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Mike Wood Treasurer Foundation startup 0 percent interest loan X 54000 34213 0 1 0 Musa Hassan Kenyan Director Construction loan at 0 percent interest X 4827 4827 0 1 1 39040 Form 990-EZ, Header, Line B During the fiscal year 2017 the Foundation received two unusually large and completely unexpected grants to the Foundation. These unusually large and completely unexpected grants dwarfed any amounts the Foundation had received in its prior years, as well as the remainder of the 2017 year. When I was preparing the Foundation's IRS return for 2017, I filed form 990-N just as I had done since 2014 because without these unusually large and completely unexpected grants the Foundation remained under the $50,000 limit for IRS 990-N filing. I have since realized that the receipt of unusual grant amounts should not have been used in determining which IRS form to file (990-EZ vs 990-N) but only as part of the "Public Support" calculations. Because of this mistake I am filing an amended return for the Foundation for 2017 so that all of our tax filings and records are correct.
