VALUES: WWFA BELIEVES IN HONORING INDIGENOUS AFRICAN CULTURES AND THEIR WAY OF LIFE. WE WORK COOPERATIVELY WITH LOCAL LEADERSHIP TO EMPOWER THEM TOWARDS SUSTAINING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR COMMUNITY. PRIMARY PROGRAM - WATER WELL CREATION:WATER WELLS FOR AFRICA (WWFA) SAVES AND IMPROVES THE LIVES OF PEOPLE IN RURAL AFRICA BY INSTALLING WATER WELLS FOR THEM, AND TO DATE OUR WORK HAS REMAINED WITHIN MALAWI. WE GIVE THESE COMMUNITIES CLEAR, CLOSE, CLEAN WATER, AND EDUCATION THAT IMPROVES THEIR OVERALL HYGIENE AND HEALTH. IMPORTANTLY: WE CREATE LASTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR RECIPIENTS, BUT WE ALSO EMPOWER THEM TO FULL INDEPENDENCE BY TRAINING A TRIBE-SELECTED GROUP IN COMPLETE PUMP MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. OUR FIRST WELLS WERE INSTALLED ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO...AND STILL PROVIDE LIFE-GIVING WATER TODAY. IN 2014, WE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED SEVEN WATER WELLS IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS: PHALOMBE DISTRICT (3 WELLS INSTALLED): WE BEGAN WITH A RETURN TO HAPARA, WHERE SUCCESSFULLY FINISHED A PROJECT BEGUN IN JUNE 2013. THIS TIME, USING SPECIAL MUD DRILLING EQUIPMENT AND WIDER, STRONGER BARRIER CASINGS, WE GAVE THAT VILLAGE THEIR LONG-AWAITED FRESH WATER. WE ALSO INSTALLED ONE WELL CO-LOCATED NEAR MWANGALA AND LIKOPALI; AND ANOTHER IN TAMBALIKA. ON A FOLLOW-UP VISIT TO THULUWA, WHERE WE INSTALLED A WELL IN 2013, VILLAGE LEADERS TOLD US THERE HAVE BEEN NO CASES OF CHOLERA SINCE THE INSTALLATION! PRIOR TO OUR WELL INSTALLATION THEY HAD BEEN PLAGUED WITH ILLNESS AND DEATH DUE TO THIS DISEASE-AVERAGING 25 ILLNESSES AND 5 DEATHS EACH YEAR. WE ALSO CHECKED IN ON A WELL PREVIOUSLY PLACED IN LUPIYA, AND WERE TOLD BY THE CHIEF LUPIYA THAT NOT ONLY WAS THE WELL WORKING EFFECTIVELY, BUT, "PREVIOUSLY, IN OUR VILLAGE, THERE WAS AN AVERAGE OF 10 CASES OF CHOLERA EACH YEAR, AND 3 DEATHS. SINCE THE BOREHOLE WAS INSTALLED [SEPTEMBER 21, 2013] THERE HAS BEEN NO CHOLERA. THANK YOU." MANGOCHI DISTRICT (4 WELLS INSTALLED): WWFA ALSO COMPLETED A WATER WELL IN KAPULULU; AND CO-LOCATED WELLS NEAR KALIMA AND LIPALASI; IMMANUEL AND NSENGA; AS WELL AS MNEMA AND CHILEKA RIVER. SERVICE EFFECTIVENESS: EACH OF THE WELLS WWFA INSTALLS IS CAPABLE OF SERVING UP TO 2,000 PEOPLE, AND THAT IS A GENERAL GOAL. BECAUSE THE POPULATION OF MOST VILLAGES IS IN THE HUNDREDS RATHER THAN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, WE WORK WITH FEDERAL AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS, AS WELL AS LOCAL LEADERS, TO MAXIMIZE THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF EACH WELL THROUGH INTELLIGENT LOCATION. WE ESTABLISH EACH WELL IN A PLACE THAT IS EASILY REACHABLE BY MULTIPLE COMMUNITIES. OUR WELLS GENERALLY SERVE BETWEEN 1,300 AND 1,700 PEOPLE. WE USUALLY WILL NOT INSTALL UNLESS IT WILL SERVE 50 OR MORE FAMILIES, AND WE STRIVE FOR EACH WELL TO MEET THE NEEDS OF AT LEAST 250 FAMILIES. AVERAGE FAMILY SIZE IN MALAWI IS 5, SO WHEN FACTORED OUT THIS MEANS EACH WELL HELPS AT LEAST 1,250 PEOPLE-AND USUALLY MANY MORE. FROM AN ANNUAL PERSPECTIVE, IN ADDITION TO THE MANY THOUSANDS ALREADY RECEIVING WATER BECAUSE OF WWFA, IN 2014, WWFA PROVIDED LIFE-GIVING WATER TO AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF NEARLY MORE THAN 10,000 PEOPLE-AND WE EXPECT THEM TO HAVE THAT WATER FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS. OUR SUCCESSES ONLY MAKE US WANT TO ACCOMPLISH MORE. GIVEN ADEQUATE RESOURCES, WWFA WOULD GIVE EVERY HUMAN ON THE PLANET CLEAN WATER, BUT PRAGMATISM LEADS US TO WHERE WE CAN DO THE GREATEST GOOD. 0 65595 SECONDARY PROGRAM - EDUCATION & OUTREACH:WWFA EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF PEOPLE IN RURAL AFRICAN VILLAGES WHO LIVE WITHOUT CLEAN AND EASY-TO-REACH WATER. WE SHARE INFORMATION THROUGH PRESENTATIONS, VIDEOS, PRINTED MATERIALS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND OUR ORGANIZATIONAL WEBSITE. 0 4330 69925 GEORGE KURTIS DAHLIN CHAIRMAN/CEO 15.00 0 0 0 ADAM PAYTON TREASURER 1.00 0 0 0 DANIKA PAYTON SECRETARY 1.00 0 0 0 REID POWELL MEMBER 2.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA THE ORGANIZATION PO BOX 635 MANHATTAN BEACH CA 90267 3109957079 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 74293 143009 78681 103643 101193 500819 74293 143009 78681 103643 101193 500819 46708 454111 7 15 34 14 7 77 500896 0.90660 0.96240 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 8 - OTHER REVENUE DESCRIPTION: INTEREST INCOME.
