Before 2018, Hope Springs Water's drilling and sanitation projects in Ethiopia were managed through partnerships with existing NGOs (nonprofit companies) already working in Ethiopia. After our third partner NGO changed directions and no longer desired/required our help with water and sanitation projects, Hope Springs Water decided to help form an Ethiopian NGO whose primary purpose matched up perfectly with the goals of Hope Springs Water. The Ethiopian NGO Tesfa Le Hiwot, or Hope for Life, was approved by the Ethiopian government this year, and with Hope Springs Water as it's principal community development partner, has opened an office in Addis Ababa and hired employees who are actively working to pursue the goals of Hope Springs Water on a daily basis. In November of this year, we participated with our US partner, Ethio Team, in deworming students in rural schools in the Tollee Wareda of Ethiopia and launched our new Women's Health Initiative, called Hope for Girls. This program is a menstrual management program designed to help girls in rural areas of Ethiopia remain in school beyond puberty by helping them manage the logistical difficulties associated with monthly menses in an environment that has limited or no sanitation facilities, and no access to sanitary supplies for the girls at all.We plan to positively impact the number of girls who can remain in school by providing sanitary supplies, adequate sanitary facilities in the schools, and drilling wells in the schools to simplify their daily water collection duties for their homes. We are sending sea cargo containers to Ethiopia in the near future that contain a new, more powerful drilling rig, and supplies to support all of our operations in Ethiopia. We will begin actively drilling again in January of 2019, and have agreements with the Ethiopian government to drill at least twelve wells in 2019 in villages in the Elu Wareda in the Southwest Shewa Zone of Central Ethiopia. We will also be helping provide sanitation projects, hygiene education, and Women's Health programs in the schools in this region. 50292 0 0 Hope Springs Water's work in Central America has been steadily growing, with new opportunities continuing to be presented over the past year. Our Director of Central American Operations, Bruce Hinds, reports that, by the end of the 2018-2019 WaSH season, we will have recovered 48 wells in the Toledo District of Belize. 18478 0 0 Another nonprofit company in Guatemala has given us access to an Explorer 2000, trailer-mounted drilling rig that offers us the opportunity to expand our WaSH Zone into the region between Puerto Barrios and the Sarstoon River on the East Coast of Guatemala, where there is great need for both safe water and sanitation programs. We have found this region of Guatemala to be relatively free of the political turmoil that is found in the northern regions of Guatemala. Discussions for beginning a WaSH program in the northeastern region of Nicaragua are ongoing and are currently awaiting a continued calming of the political climate in that area. In 2018 HSW drilled three new wells in the Sarstoon River region of Guatemala. 26039 0 0 In 2018, HSW was able to provide over $5900 in relief funds to Hurricane survivors through designated donations. HSW also funded a well in Samichique Mexico. HSW funds in this area provide access to other program funding that supports the mission of Hope Springs Water. Other expenses are allocated to program expenses based on time spent for that program. 26039 0 0 195983 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 TX X Bliss Nelson 8172919247 216 South Palestine Athens TX 75751 Charles T Mettetal Executive Trustee 20 10 X 0 0 0 Suzan Stutts Trustee 2 1 X 0 0 0 Mike Gillert Trustee 2 1 X 0 0 0 Debbie Leatherwood Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 Steve Akin Vice Chairman 5 2 X X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Lowe Trustee 2 0 X 0 0 0 Bruce Hinds Secretary/Treasurer 10 1 X X 0 0 0 Tyler Lowe Trustee 2 1 X 0 0 0 Jimmy Leatherwood Chairman 5 2 X X 0 0 0 Jessica Richardson Sr. Director of Development 40 5 X 44472 0 0 Bliss Nelson Director of Finance & Admin 20 10 X 28212 0 0 72684 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 37595 1000 0 149880 5487 188475 0 0 0 0 0 3670 37595 12590 -8920 0 -8920 0 0 0 0 0 179555 0 0 -8920 80654 51938 28716 6116 4893 1223 7041 4533 2508 14026 7714 6312 9525 5239 4286 59290 56530 2760 16247 16247 3684 910 2774 Water Well Belize 7131 7131 0 Water Well Ethiopia 26571 26571 0 Water Well Guatemala 1191 1191 0 Project Funding & Other Program Exp. 13086 13086 0 244562 195983 48579 0 170078 105902 944 10504 9776 7354 26967 80165 18287 78125 61878 311 311 266372 205778 710 6554 10810 2131 2998 9395 13808 X 183128 191970 73849 0 0 0 256977 191970 266372 205778 -65007 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 264026 268555 251110 203255 192144 1179090 0 0 0 0 0 -4058 6910 9548 0 0 12400 259968 275465 260658 203255 192144 1191490 1191490 300 288 0 588 300 288 0 0 0 588 260268 275753 260658 203255 192144 1192078 0.99951 0.99919 0.00049 0.00081 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 75510 0 15896 59614 4655 0 2391 2264 61878 2998 2998 Golfwell 29624 0 29624 1100 2869 3980 602 0 107 Turkey Trot 11641 0 11641 0 191 300 0 0 3441 0 41265 0 41265 1100 3060 4280 602 0 3548 12590 28675 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Jimmy & Debbie Leatherwood are married.
