THE ORGANIZATION SPECIFICALLY FUNDS THE COLLEGE EDUCATION OF EIGHTEEN STUDENTS. THEY ATTEND ONE OF THE THREE ACCREDITED UNIVERSITIES IN HAITI - THE UNIVERSITY OF HAITI, THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME AND QUISQUEYA UNIVERSITY. THESE STUDENTS COME FROM SUCH POOR BACKGROUNDS THAT A COLLEGE EDUCATION WOULD OTHERWISE BE OUT OF THE QUESTION. IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR A SCHOLARSHIP, THEY NEED TO NOT ONLY COME FROM THE MOST IMPOVERISHED SITUATIONS BUT ALSO HAVE AN A+ AVERAGE IN HIGH SCHOOL. THE FUNDING PROVIDES TUITION, ENGLISH CLASSES, BOARD, ROOM, A SMALL STIPEND, A COMPUTER LAB, LEADERSHIP TRAINING, AND EMPOWERMENT. OVER THE ELEVEN YEARS THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN THIS PROGRAM, 100% OF THOSE COMPLETING THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION ARE EMPLOYED AT SALARIES AVERAGING 14,000 PER YEAR (OVER 17 TIMES THE NATIONAL PER CAPITA INCOME). OUR ORGANIZATION PROVIDED 147,500 IN GRANT FUNDS TO HELP IN 2016, WHICH PROVIDED FULL FUNDING FOR MORE THAN EIGHTEEN STUDENTS AND ALSO PROVIDED FUNDING FOR AN INTERNAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. THE SECOND LARGEST INITIATIVE IS THE ORGANIZATION'S CHILD AND STUDENT SPONSORSHIP INITIATIVE. WE PAIR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN NORTH AMERICA WITH CHILDREN UNDER THE CARE OF OUR PARTNERING ORGANIZATIONS IN HAITI. WITH OVER 400 CHILDREN SPONSORED, THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES FUNDING AND OVERSIGHT FOR EDUCATION, HOUSING, NUTRITION, CLOTHING, SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND OTHER NEEDFUL LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT. THE NEXT LARGEST PROGRAM SERVICE FOR OUTLAYS IS THE CHEMEN LAVI MIYO (PATH TO A BETTER LIFE) PROJECT THROUGH FONKOZE, HAITI'S BANK FOR THE POOR. THIS IS THE INITIATIVE THAT WORKS TO LIFT ULTRA-POOR FAMILIES (USUALLY A MOTHER WITH THREE TO SEVEN CHILDREN) IN THE CENTRAL PLATEAU OF HAITI OUT OF ULTRA-POVERTY. BASIC HUMAN NEEDS ARE MET, INCLUDING HEALTH CARE. CLEAN WATER IS PROVIDED, EMPOWERMENT IS GIVEN, AN ECONOMIC ENTERPRISE IS MADE POSSIBLE, AND THE CHILDREN ARE ENROLLED IN SCHOOL. OVER AN 18 MONTH PERIOD, USING A CASE WORKER MODEL, FAMILIES ARE RAISED UP FROM DESPERATE POVERTY TO A POSITION WHERE THEY NOW QUALIFY FOR MICROFINANCING. TO DATE, FONKOZE HAS WORKED SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER WITH 6,000 WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES IN HAITI'S CENTRAL PLATEAU TO HELP THEM GRADUATE FROM ULTRA-POVERTY. AN HTF-SUPPORTED COHORT OF 100 WOMEN WAS LAUNCHED IN FEBRUARY 2016. 97% OF PARTICIPATING WOMEN COMPLETED THE PROGRAM, ENABLING THEM TO HAVE A SAFE LIVING SITUATION, PROVIDE THEIR FAMILIES WITH AT LEAST TWO MEALS A DAY, SEND ALL THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL, MAINTAIN AN INCOME AND AN ACTIVE SAVINGS ACCOUNT, AND DEVELOP A SOLID PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. THE 97% GRADUATION RATE IS A TESTAMENT TO THE FACT THAT CLM'S TEAM OF CASE MANAGERS IS CONTINUING TO DO WORK THAT IS TRULY CHANGING MEMBERS' LIVES AND HELPING THEM ON THE PATH TO A BETTER LIFE. COMMUNITY IN ACTION ALLOWS HTF TO BRING TOGETHER PARTNERS FROM HELP, TETKOLE, PAZAPA, AND THE ST. JOSEPH FAMILY TO HOLD A SUMMER CAMP IN JACMEL FOR MORE THAN 300 CHILDREN EACH YEAR. WE ALSO SUPPORT A SECOND WEEK OF CAMP WITH OUR CHEMEN LAVI MIYO PARTNER IN THE CENTRAL PLATEAU OF HAITI. THE OCTOBER 2016 HURRICANE MATTHEW COMPELLED US INTO AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE ON BEHALF OF OUR PARTNERS IN 2016. BECAUSE OF THE URGENCY OF THE SITUATION AND OUR LONGSTANDING GRASSROOTS RELATIONSHIPS IN THE COUNTRY, WE WERE ABLE TO EFFICIENTLY AND SWIFTLY FACILITATE EMERGENCY RELIEF. WITH FUNDING GENEROUSLY PROVIDED BY DONORS TO HTF, WE ALSO WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE WATER FILTERS AND FOOD PACKAGES TO OVER 200 FAMILIES IN JEREMIE AND LES CAYES, TWO REGIONS THAT WERE HARDEST HIT BY HURRICANE MATTHEW. 407562 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false X ERIN MURPHY 7708311966 1350 PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD SUWANEE GA 30024 ERIN MURPHY EXE DIR/TREA 40.00 X X 75000 0 0 ROBERT C BARGER PRESIDENT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 LORNE HLAD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN RINDELS VICE PRESIDE 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CHAD JOHNSON SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 TIM KUENZLI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 THEODULE JEAN-BAPTISTE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL MUSSACHIO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 75000 false false false 478361 478361 80 80 478441 80 366537 366537 75000 56250 18750 13500 13500 10145 7867 2278 2500 2500 20900 20900 682 662 20 46765 6963 32379 7423 BANKING/ADMINISTRATIVE FE 14393 14393 SUMMER CAMP 12500 12500 OTHER EXPENSES 3951 3951 566873 407562 130860 28451 135959 47527 17504 17504 153463 65031 12384 12384 43125 43125 55509 55509 X -38590 -127022 136544 136544 97954 9522 153463 65031 -88432 X false false false X 379571 469562 463361 514098 478361 2304953 379571 469562 463361 514098 478361 2304953 106710 2198243 183 141 148 80 552 2305505 0.95350 0.95500 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false CARIBBEAN GRANTS/ASSISTANCE 366537 366537 366537 CARIBBEAN CHILD WELFARE 366537 WIRE false false false false false false SCHEDULE F, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 2 MULTIPLE TRIPS TO HAITI ARE TAKEN EACH YEAR BY BOARD MEMBERS TO MONITOR THE USE OF FUNDS.
