WE PAIR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN NORTH AMERICA WITH CHILDREN UNDER THE CARE OF OUR PARTNERING ORGANIZATIONS IN HAITI. WITH OVER 245 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 IN 2013 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 PROCESS USING A CASE WORKER MODEL, FAMILIES ARE RAISED UP FROM DESPERATE POVERTY TO A POSITION WHERE THEY NOW QUALIFY FOR MICRO- FINANCING. TO DATE, FONKOZE HAS WORKED SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER WITH 2,550 WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES IN HAITI'S CENTRAL PLATEAU TO HELP THEM GRADUATE FROM ULTRA-POVERTY. IN 2013, CLM WELCOMED 610 NEW WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES TO THE PROGRAM AND CONTINUED TO SERVE 1,101 OTHERS. 97% OF PARTICIPATING WOMEN COMPLETED THE PROGRAM IN 2013, 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. THE ORGANIZATION SENT 155,964 TO CLM IN 2013. THE THIRD LARGEST INITIATIVE IS THE ORGANIZATION'S COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP SERVICES THROUGH THE HAITIAN EDUCATION & LEADERSHIP PROGRAM (HELP). THE ORGANIZATION SPECIFICALLY FUNDS THE COLLEGE EDUCATION OF TWENTY 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 AND EMPOWERMENT. OVER THE NINE YEARS THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN THIS PROGRAM, 100% OF THOSE COMPLETING THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION ARE EMPLOYED AT SALARIES AVERAGING 13,000 PER YEAR (OVER 30 TIMES THE NATIONAL PER CAPITA INCOME). OUR ORGANIZATION PROVIDED 122,500 IN GRANT FUNDS TO HELP IN 2013, WHICH PROVIDED FULL FUNDING FOR MORE THAN SIXTEEN STUDENTS. THE JANUARY 12, 2010 EARTHQUAKE COMPELLED US INTO AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE ON BEHALF OF OUR PARTNERS IN 2010. BECAUSE OF THE DIRE URGENCY OF THE SITUATION AND OUR LONGSTANDING GRASSROOTS RELATIONSHIPS IN THE JACMEL AREA, WE WERE ABLE TO EFFICIENTLY AND SWIFTLY FACILITATE EMERGENCY MEDICAL RELIEF, BASIC HUMANITARIAN RELIEF, AND PROVIDE TEMPORARY SHELTER FOR THOUSANDS. IN THE LATTER PART OF 2010 AND AT THE REQUEST OF THE AUTHORITIES IN THE JACMEL AREA, WE OVERSAW A CHOLERA AWARENESS, PREVENTION, AND TREATMENT INITIATIVE FOR THE SOUTHEAST DEPARTMENT OF HAITI. THE PRIMARY TARGET OF OUR INITIATIVE WAS CHILDREN, AND THE EDUCATION PIECE OF THE INITIATIVE INCLUDED HYGIENE AND OTHER PRECAUTIONARY AND PROTECTIVE SKILLS. THIS CHOLERA AWARENESS INITIATIVE HAS CONTINUED THROUGH 2013 AND HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE, IN PART, FROM A GENEROUS GRANT FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO. 471813 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 1 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false false false false X 8 8 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 25000 0 0 ROBERT C BARGER PRESIDENT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 GREG BENNETT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN RINDELS VICE PRESIDE 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CHAD JOHNSON BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 TIM KUENZLI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN CARPENTER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RHONDA BOSTROM SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL MUSSACHIO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 25000 false false false 469562 469562 141 141 1882 1271 611 611 470314 752 448613 448613 25000 18750 6250 13500 13500 2945 2467 478 4200 4200 29600 22400 7200 5373 800 3720 853 BANKING/ADMINISTRATIVE FE 7760 7760 OTHER EXPENSES 5637 5637 542628 471813 63234 7581 177786 136025 25442 17504 203228 153529 4769 12384 28125 43125 32894 55509 X 71768 -38524 98566 136544 170334 98020 203228 153529 -72314 X false false X 261052 891529 453576 379571 469562 2455290 261052 891529 453576 379571 469562 2455290 142617 2312673 229 3350 938 183 141 4841 2460131 13398 0.94010 0.98060 X PART II, LINE 10 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false CARIBBEAN GRANTS/ASSISTANCE 448613 448613 448613 CARIBBEAN CHILD WELFARE 443351 WIRE CARIBBEAN EMERGENCY RELIEF 5262 WIRE 7 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.
