A marketing program will support the increased production by linking producers to merchants in a system that rewards farmers and merchants for higher quality production with higher prices and profits; working with farmers to improve quality and with traders to improve harvesting, packing, cooling, shipping and marketing methods. To insure that women specifically benefit, and to encourage equal opportunities for women, CHAMP is implementing a pilot women's program, focusing on home garden and poultry rearing. CHAMP is implementing programs in 16 provinces in the Eastern, South Eastern, and Southern and Central regions of Afghanistan. 221174 The Sustainable Horticulture and Agriculture Development Pilot Project (SHADE) funded by private organizations, attempt to improve the production systems of rural highland Vietnamese farmers who live along sections of the former Ho Chi Minh Trail. This project focuses on the development of agricultural value chains; primarily cacao and black pepper while piloting demo plots for Arabica coffee and taro. Through new methods of cultivation and marketing, rural farmers located in the Southwestern province of Binh Phuoc and the Central Coast province of Quang Tri, can increase their annual income from three to seven times the income from their previous crops. 3638149 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 32 0 1 11 1 0 1 AF VM 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA MD TX VA X X Gary Kuhn - Roots of Peace 4154558008 990 A Street Suite 404 San Rafael CA 94901 Heidi Kuhn CEO/Founder 40.00 X X 203243 0 17515 Gary Kuhn President 40.00 X X 165918 0 20356 Joe Cresalia Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ann Laurence Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Patricia Sheikh Vice Chairwoman/Secretary 1.00 X 0 0 0 Charley Ansbach Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Baker Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jan Hartke Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tor Kenward Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Scooter Simmons Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Tully Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Bachand Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 William Evers Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rod Carvajal Chief of Party 40.00 X 255191 0 5212 William Everett Communication Director 40.00 X 101017 0 242 725369 0 43325 4 0 1 0 0 4630436 387528 5017964 52 52 Miscellaneous income 900099 28884 28884 Change in exchange rat 900099 -327 -327 28557 5046573 0 0 28609 667435 535692 131743 1758371 1419539 338832 11743 8627 3116 358824 263609 95215 187270 137577 49693 87 40 31 16 47800 22141 17113 8546 181500 126980 39365 15155 43446 11425 14156 17865 568218 476479 85265 6474 302731 108672 190794 3265 301624 210721 65626 25277 80539 37860 25516 17163 36081 8730 27351 18205 16805 1400 Subcontractors 139582 127188 12394 Cost Sharing 112138 112138 Miscellaneous 45992 9816 32513 3663 Dues and subscriptions 38744 37121 1623 26053 4110 21943 4926383 3638149 1189187 99047 433588 253974 666 666 345272 179700 73412 52637 39000 39000 0 0 9332 35700 862270 522677 549731 354735 533306 368519 180000 80000 1263037 803254 X -400767 -280577 -400767 -280577 862270 522677 120190 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 18448179 12892991 9764272 3310553 5017964 49433959 18448179 12892991 9764272 3310553 5017964 49433959 49433959 417 562 28 52 1059 26900 593855 30605 129904 28557 809821 50244839 0.98390 0.98530 X 39000 39000 0 0 Deposits 35700 35700 X 5046573 0 5046573 0 5046573 4926383 0 4926383 0 4926383 Part X, Line 2: Roots of Peace is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d.
