In addition to working with individuals and communities, World Hope's program works with the Sierra Leone government toward the goal of providing all Sierra Leoneans with access to high-quality, affordable health care. Right now, the majority of health care in Sierra Leone is provided by Community Health Workers; as such, this is a target of World Hope's strategy. In 2017, 1,120 Community Health Workers were trained on maternal and child health issues, such as malnutrition, reproductive health, malaria, and diarrhea. These workers provided more than 17,000 individuals consultations, treated more than 17,000 cases of malaria, and screened more than 30,000 children for malnutrition. Community Health Workers visited more than 8,500 pregnant women and made nearly 8,500 post-natal visits. Over 3,000 health care workers were also trained on newborn resuscitation techniques because newborn asphyxiation is a leading-and highly preventable-cause of death among infants. Through its Health and Nutrition Program, World Hope also: trained 273 health workers in the use of test strips to screen for UTIs and diabetes among pregnant women; provided Vitamin A supplements for more than 32,000 children; and provided acute physical and occupational therapy and family support to 700 children with disabilities. Finally, in partnership with the US Centers for Disease Control and the Gates Foundation, World Hope performed data collection for a new program that will try to uncover the causes of high mortality rates among children under 5 in Sierra Leone. 2847087 2129922 0 Emergency Response and Other Programs: In 2107, World Hope responded to three emergencies: the August mudslides in Sierra Leone; hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria in the US and Caribbean; and the December tropical storm in the Philippines. When disaster strikes, World Hope mobilizes a network of businesses, churches, and NGO partners to provide immediate relief and recovery support. When the mudslides hit Sierra Leone-killing more than 1,000 people and leaving 5,000 homeless-World Hope responded, in collaboration with the Sierra Leone government, to distribute more than 700 water filters, truck in more than 35,600 gallons of water, and distribute 3,355 cakes of soap to help curb the spread of disease. After hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria ravaged parts of the US and Caribbean, World Hope responded by providing 5,800 heavy-duty tarps for temporary shelter, 2,700 water filters, 96 generators, and 130 solar chargers to communities in Texas, Florida, Turks & Caicos, Dominica, Tortola, St. Thomas, St. Croix, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. World Hope also coordinated the delivery of water purification equipment and hygiene kits, medicines (including insulin), and donated goods in affected communities. In Turks and Caicos, for instance, World Hope desalination kits provided the only source of clean water on some of the islands following the storms. In Puerto Rico, World Hope helped deliver $225,000 worth of donated insulin to the Puerto Rico Department of Health. More than 300 volunteers supported rebuilding efforts in Texas and Florida following the storms, reaching more than 10,000 people. 2821057 0 0 Water and Sanitation: Through its Water and Sanitation Program, World Hope is committed to providing clean water sources and improved sanitation facilities to communities in developing countries worldwide. In 2017, World Hope drilled 192 wells across Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, and Cambodia. In total, these wells benefited 132,111 people-around 700 people for each well. In addition to providing the obvious impact-clean water, which decreases instances of waterborne illness and death-clean water sources have subtler impacts that are equally profound. For instance, clean water sources allow more children-especially girls-to reach higher levels of educational achievement. In Africa, 90% of water-gathering is done by girls, which limits their time spent in school. Girls with less education marry younger and have more children. In this way, limited access to clean water can contribute to the cycle of poverty-whereas access to clean water can help break it. In 2017, 44 wells were drilled at health clinics to improve health care provision, and water towers were constructed in 34 of these clinics to provide clean water for sinks, showers, and toilets. Finally, in 2017, 32 wells were drilled at schools. Without clean water at school, girls often drop out-or have a significant number of absences each month-once they reach puberty because they cannot care for their own hygiene needs. This is another way in which water is not just water-it is a future for hundreds of thousands of the world's girls. And World Hope is ensuring they reach their goals through access to a basic human necessity: water. 907879 0 219865 World Hope's Agriculture Program provides subsistence farmers-who make up the majority of the world's rural poor-with the tools, knowledge, and market connections to grow, consume, and sell more produce. Within these communities, improved agricultural outputs lead to improved health (family members have healthier diets), increased levels of education (children can go to school when the family makes more money), and improved livelihoods (more money can be spent on necessities like health care, electricity, and modern sanitation). In 2017, World Hope's Agriculture and Economic Development: Agricultural Program improved the lives of rural farmers in Sierra Leone, Cambodia, and Mozambique. In Sierra Leone and Mozambique, 36 GRO greenhouses-greenhouses that protect crops from the elements and use far less water than traditional methods-benefited 1,615 rural farmers. Market connections increased income for 54 farmers. In Cambodia, 92 mushroom "grow houses"-small structures designed to grow mushrooms, a cash crop-benefited 75 households, including 137 women, 148 men, and 141 children. These houses produced more than 67 tons of mushrooms, which were sold at market for $177,729. 961286 20220 0 World Hope's Anti-Trafficking and Anti-Gender-Based Violence Program works in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cambodia, and the Philippines to prevent occurrences and treat survivors of human trafficking and gender-based violence. In Liberia, World Hope continued to operate a government-sponsored anti-trafficking hotline, which in 2017 received more than 1,500 calls. World Hope also placed 59 survivors of human trafficking into shelter care and reintegrated 62 survivors into communities. In Sierra Leone, World Hope continued to operate the Recovery Centre, which in 2017 provided residential care for 40 survivors of trafficking, including four teenage girls who gave birth to babies there. The Centre also provided services for 53 survivors and reunited 33 survivors with their families. In prevention efforts, World Hope launched two new campaigns in Sierra Leone, including one funded by the European Union Delegation to Sierra Leone. In the Philippines, World Hope launched a new program, funded by the US Department of State in cooperation with the government of the Philippines, to combat cybercrime that targets children and to shelter and treat child survivors of online exploitation. Finally, in Cambodia, World Hope hosted 65 outreach events to educate the community on gender-based violence and provided services to 212 survivors-a 400% increase over the year prior, suggesting that more women and girls are recognizing the issue and seeking support and treatment. 705043 182500 12924 Education and Child Sponsorship: World Hope believes that a quality education for all children is the key to reducing poverty worldwide. World Hope's Education Program includes child sponsorship, as well as education initiatives in Sierra Leone, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Azerbaijan. In Sierra Leone, World Hope's Enable the Children project provides physical and occupational therapy, as well as care and support services, including services to promote education, to more than 700 children living with disabilities in Freetown. Enable the Children works with families to teach them about their children, including how to help them develop using play, feeding support, and special equipment. In 2017, Enable the Children provided 170 pieces of therapy equipment, 70 school scholarships, 24 small business start-up grants (so families can be home to better care for their child's special needs), and 1,531 home visits to benefit the patients. Also, in Sierra Leone, World Hope is participating with UNICEF and the Sierra Leone government to provide early education to young children, and to educate local families on the importance of early childhood education. In 2017, 17 Early Childhood Development centers were built, and volunteer teams were recruited and trained to help run the centers. In total, 1,765 young children were registered and began attending the centers. In Azerbaijan, World Hope constructed two new classrooms for 60 kindergarten students, and World Hope supported the construction of a secure playground. World Hope maintains a Child Sponsorship Program that is integrated with our other seven programs for maximum long-term impact. In a traditional sponsorship program, individual investments ensure that children are enrolled in school-with the appropriate uniforms and supplies-so they can pursue their education. With World Hope's program, in addition to this, World Hope invests in entire communities, so the benefit can be more widespread and sustainable. As an example, in Haiti-a country with 418 sponsored children-solar panels were installed in two of the schools these children attend, providing power and positioning the schools to receive computers next year. In 2017, 2,047 children in ten developing countries were sponsored through World Hope. This was a 23% growth from the year prior, demonstrating continued commitment among US individuals to invest in children, communities, and livelihoods through this program. In Sierra Leone, 100% of sponsored-children passed the National Primary School Examination. Eighty-seven girls and boys with special needs were among the sponsored children. In addition to individual sponsorships, some sponsorships engage an entire school. In these cases, a School Management Committee (SMC) is created by recruiting and training local volunteers to maximize educational impacts within a community. In 2017, 16 SMCs were created, and they worked with communities on critical education-related issues-such as the importance of sending all children to school, including young girls. 277566 0 0 Public Awareness: These initiatives bring attention to the suffering caused by severe poverty and exploitation. The also educate the public about what they can do to bring about opportunity, dignity and hope to the people that World Hope serves. 2851774 202720 232789 17602982 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 X 22 0 1 25 1 0 1 AJ BK CB HA LI MZ SL 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AK CA CO DC FL GA HI IL KY MD MN MS NC ND NH NM OK OR PA TN UT VA WI WV X X X World Hope International Inc 7039239414 1330 Braddock Place Suite 301 Alexandria VA 22314 Steve Brown Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Robert Clyde Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Gilmer Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 David Blanchard Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jeri Sape Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Dennis Jackson Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Gary Ott Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 John Lee Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Steve McEuen Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Murtie Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Shafer Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Quillan Byam Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Wayne Schmidt Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jim Mannoia Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mike Chambers Board Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Kevin Batman Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Bobbie Strand Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Swartzendruber Vice-Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 John Lyon CEO 50 0 X 132070 0 42808 Gayle Rietmulder CFO 50 0 X 122220 0 20772 254290 0 63580 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 708462 18838762 9158005 19547224 Tuition 900099 12924 12924 0 0 Greenhouse and Produce Sales 900099 219865 219865 0 0 Sale of well components to another NGO in Sierra Leone 900099 12488 12488 0 0 0 0 0 0 245277 18546 0 0 18546 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19811047 245277 0 18546 3952454 3952454 3053143 3053143 0 0 317871 43125 274746 0 0 0 0 0 2548114 1979578 238408 330128 28200 17136 3793 7271 131129 81620 19299 30210 89458 79300 3475 6683 3300 0 3300 0 8739 0 8739 0 46563 0 46563 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 315212 142491 10927 161794 51951 0 0 51951 556247 451219 85426 19602 202817 129749 59394 13674 0 0 0 0 378881 346523 14359 17999 188402 82205 6264 99933 0 0 0 0 28228 12155 5232 10841 37931 0 37931 0 0 0 0 0 353564 347241 3636 2687 20301 0 20301 0 Health and Nutrition 3661548 3661548 0 0 Education and Child Sponsorship 419198 419198 0 0 Wells and Sanitation 2071996 2071996 0 0 Economic Developemnt 351369 351369 0 0 418413 380932 13196 24285 19235029 17602982 854989 777058 420318 1038408 726114 712770 543335 615954 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 117055 245913 108814 153055 2045486 1511480 794153 534006 0 0 325476 0 0 162519 204284 3197784 3504390 280130 565119 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 85645 0 431935 327249 0 272694 234425 1070404 1126793 X 1064413 973580 447015 787036 615952 616981 2127380 2377597 3197784 3504390 576018 -325801 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4977973 8454751 9441077 12367422 19547224 54788447 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4977973 8454751 9441077 12367422 19547224 54788447 0 54788447 28724 23101 19553 23877 18546 113801 0 0 0 0 0 0 15518 35422 26404 2516 12448 92308 54994556 381054 0.99625 0.98573 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Sale of excess supplies RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 615952 0 1029 0 0 0 616981 614882 0 1070 0 0 0 615952 613731 0 1151 0 0 0 614882 612946 0 785 0 0 0 613731 486275 126671 4269 0 4269 0 612946 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 203075 94812 108263 0 1438052 1083018 355034 0 404359 333650 70709 534006 Program Advances 65203 Intercompany Receivable 113372 Interbranch Receivable 6386 Other Branch Office Receivables 19323 204284 0 Charitable Gift Annuities 49541 Deferred Lease Liability 184884 234425 X Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 These are permanently restricted fund and thus only the earnings can be expended by the organization based on the donor's instructions. Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 WHI follows the authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes included in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. WHI performed an evaluation of uncertainty in income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of December 31, 2017, the statute of limitations for tax years 2014 through 2016 remains open with the U.S. federal jurisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which WHI files tax returns. It is WHI's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertainty in income taxes, if any, in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2017, WHI had no accruals for interest and/or penalties. 1 Sub-Saharan Africa 4 200 Program Services Relief and development 8718392 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grantmaking Anti-trafficking and education 86170 East Asia and the Pacific 1 14 Program Services International relief and development 759910 East Asia and the Pacific 0 0 Grantmaking Educational assistance 144685 South Asia 0 0 Grantmaking Educational assistance 28203 Central America and the Caribbean 0 0 Program Services Medicine and medical supplies 193007 Central America and the Caribbean 0 0 Grantmaking Educational assistance 2752085 Russia and the newly independent States 1 6 Program Services Relief and development 112337 Europe (including Iceland and Greenland) 1 0 Program Services Relief and development 29307 South America 0 0 Grantmaking Inkind donations 12000 North America (including Canada and Mexico, but not the United States) 0 0 Grantmaking Capacity building 30000 7 220 12866096 Sub-Saharan Africa Educational Assistance 10000 Wire 0 Sub-Saharan Africa Anti-trafficking 20220 wire 0 Sub-Saharan Africa Educational assistance 55950 wire 0 East Asia and the Pacific Educational assistance 65035 Wire 0 East Asia and the Pacific Capacity building 70000 wire 0 East Asia and the Pacific Educational assistance 9650 wire 0 Central America and the Caribbean Educational Assistance 24975 Wire 0 North America (including Canada and Mexico, but not the United States) Capacity building 30000 wire 0 South Asia Educational Assistance 10100 wire 0 South Asia Educational assistance 6790 wire 0 Central America and the Caribbean Health care 0 2750374 Medicine and medical Supplies FMV 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 In countries where World Hope does not have a field office, educational initiatives such as tuition payments and providing uniforms/school supplies to children without means are administered through partnering organizations and community groups.
