RVF IS A NON-POLITICAL, NON-PARTISAN CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION. 0 0 1620966 RVF'S MAJOR INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE SAFE WATER FOR DRINKING AND PERSONAL HYGIENE TO CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES IN GAZA WAS RESUMED IN APRIL 2024. BY THE END OF 2024, RVF HAD INSTALLED 11 FULLY OPERATIONAL DESALINATION UNITS POWERED BY SOLAR SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE DRINKING WATER AND A MEANS OF PERSONAL HYGIENE TO THE DISPLACED POPULATION AT LOCATIONS THE SOUTHERN PART OF GAZA, AS THE NORTH HAD BEEN CLOSED BY THE MILITARY. THIS INITATIVE, MADE POSSIBLE BY A GRANT FROM THE UAE, DIRECLTY BENEFITED OVER 90,000 CIVILIANS, PRIMARILY CHILDREN. ACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATER IS A GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITY. IN THE GAZA STRIP, HOME TO OVER 2 MILLION PEOPLE, THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE NEED FOR POTABLE WATER TO HELP CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES SURVIVIE. RVF IS CONTINUING THIS LIFE-SAVING WORK IN 2025. GIVEN THE SCOPE OF THE DESTRUCTION IN GAZA AS A RESULT OF THE ONGOING WAR, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW THIS PROGRAM WILL BE SCALED ONCE THE WAR ENDS. RVF IS IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UAE, WHO WILL WORK WITH THE ORGANIZATION TO ASSESS THE NEXT STEPS AT THAT TIME. 322599 100073 RVF WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO INTRODUCE MODERN VACCINES FOR CHILDREN INTO THE NATIONAL ROUTINE VACCINATION SCHEDULES IN MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES (MICS) AND PUBLISHES THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL RESULTS OF THE PROGRAMS IN PEER-REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS. THE VACCINATION PROGRAMS ARE IMPLEMENTED ENTIRELY BY LOCAL HEALTH CARE WORKERS, THEREBY BUILDING LOCAL CAPACITY AND OWNERSHIP FROM THE BEGINNING, AND ARE FULLY SUSTAINED BY THE HOST GOVERNMENTS WITHIN 3 YEARS OF INCEPTION. FOLLOWING THE LAUNCH OF THE RVF-INITIATED ROTAVIRUS VACCINATION PROGRAM FOR ALL INFANTS IN GAZA AND THE WEST BANK IN 2016- APPROXIMATELY 135,000 BABIES ANNUALLY RVF, WITH FINANCING FROM THE BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION, HAS BEEN CONDUCTING SURVEILLANCE DOCUMENTING THE IMPACT OF THE ROTAVIRUS VACCINE ON THE DISEASE BURDEN. THE RESULTS OF THE FIRST PHASE OF THE SURVEILLANCE WERE PUBLISHED IN THE PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL VACCINE. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE WAR, THE SUPPLY OF ROTAVIRUS VACCINE WAS INTERRUPTED FROM JUNE THROUGH DECEMBER 2024, SO THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT ROTAVIRUS DISEASE WILL REEMEERGE BEFORE THE VACCINE SUPPLY CAN BE REPLENISHED AND VACCINATION RESUME IN 2025. IN EGYPT RVF CONTIUNES ITS INITIATIVE TO INTRODUCE THE ROTAVIRUS VACCINE INTO THE NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULE FOR CHILDREN AND TO TRANSFER THE TECHNOLOGY TO MANUFACTURE THE VACCINE IN THE COUNTRY. THE RVF-SPONSORED BASELINE STUDY OF ROTAVIRUS DISEASE PREVALENCE IN EGYPT, FINANCED BY THE GATES FOUNDATION AND PUBLISHED IN THE EGYPTIAN PHARMACEUTICAL JOURNAL, HAS LENT MOMENTUM TO THE REGISTRATION PROCESS OF THE VACCINE IN EGYPT AND THE PLANNING OF THE TECH TRANSFER FROM THE INDIAN MANUFACTURER TO AN EGYPTIAN VACCINE MANUFACTURER. 1943565 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 2 0 1 4 1 0 1 GG RS OC 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X X MERLE NILK 2022965730 1776 K STREET NW 7TH FLOOR WASHINGTON DC 20006 ELENA ROSTROPOVICH PRESIDENT 5.00 X X 0 0 0 THOMAS R PICKERING CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 CATHERINE MANNICK SECRETARY/TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 RAZAN AL SHATTI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 EDWIN ASTURIAS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN BEYRLE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CONSUELO DUROC-DANNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MONIQUE DUROC-DANNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LUBNA HUSSAIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NATASHA LEBEDEVA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ORIN LEVINE DIRECTOR UNTIL 09/2024 1.00 X 0 0 0 J STEPHEN MORRISON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GHASSAN MUSTAKLEM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY A NEARING DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STANLEY PLOTKIN MD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM P AMOSS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 236587 0 25941 MERLE NILK FINANCE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 148723 0 14160 385310 0 40101 2 0 1 0 0 177076 4567 177076 190527 190527 1951724 1932216 19508 19508 19508 387111 0 0 210035 100073 100073 390453 241019 142687 6747 314307 257824 47868 8615 5978 3928 1764 286 37495 24066 12090 1339 40345 25484 13721 1140 30520 24684 5836 45369 30393 14976 118434 118434 73426 32129 41297 56838 47290 9548 38359 23432 14927 3236 2730 506 5142 5142 PROGRAM MATERIALS & SVC 1012079 1012079 2272054 1943565 310362 18127 79581 170176 2878176 112449 0 120600 0 45339 9730 29941 27642 30785 2299 4514531 6791 301000 221700 5204285 3288872 44049 71956 34386 0 78435 71956 X 586339 491639 4539511 2725277 5125850 3216916 5204285 3288872 -1884943 -23991 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 874897 902374 6333793 1113541 177076 9401681 874897 902374 6333793 1113541 177076 9401681 2350970 7050711 836 185 10603 48605 190527 250756 3016 3016 9655453 479330 0.73020 0.67990 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MISCELLANEOUS - 2020 AMOUNT: $ 3,016.
