Description	The Rafiki Foundation is a Christian organization whose goal is to help Africans know God and to raise their standard of living through the following five programs: ChildCare, Education, Widows, Bible Study, and Advanced Learning Institute.The Childcare program provides a permanent home for orphans within each of the ten Rafiki Villages. Each Village is equipped to provide complete care for up to 100 children, including housing, clothing, meals, education, recreation, and medical care. At present (July 2013) Rafiki is home to a total of 817 children, ranging in age from two to twenty, who live at our ten Villages. These children are raised in a family-like setting with ten children living in a cottage with a trained African woman who serves as their mother. The Rafiki Mothers are trained and supervised by a qualified ChildCare administrator who oversees their work. Rafiki provides a Christian classical education to these children from preschool through grade 12. When the children graduate from high school they are enrolled in college or vocational programs so that they can live independently and become godly contributors in their home countries. The program will grow to a total of 1,000 children.Rafiki Education program is developing ten accredited, registered K-12 Christian classical schools - one K-12 school at each of its ten Villages. These schools provide a high quality education for both resident children and day students from the community. The Rafiki schools currently educate more than 1,300 students.The children are taught using Rafiki's Christian classical curriculum which has been developed specifically for Africa. This curriculum provides both textbooks and lesson plans and has been written to international standards, incorporating African national syllabus requirements. All courses are written from a biblical worldview and are culturally relevant to Africa. The schools not only provide a high quality education in core courses in maths, language arts, and sciences, but also in athletics, art, music, and vocational courses. Students graduate with a well-rounded education, critical thinking skills, and tools for lifelong learning.The Rafiki Widows Program presently helps more than 2,500 poor women in eight of Rafiki's ten countries. Working in partnership with local churches, Rafiki provides design guidance and quality standards for handcrafts which are representative of crafts produced in their local economy. Rafiki markets these products in the U.S. to support the women and cover the cost of shipping and marketing.The Rafiki Bible Study Program provides a comprehensive Bible study (600 weeks of lessons covering all sixty-six books of the Bible), primarily for Rafiki's K-12 schools and partner church schools. The Bible study has been developed by theologians in the U.S. and Africa and is written at various age-comprehension levels by individuals experienced in teaching children. This material is being used by all program participants in Rafikis Childcare, Education, Widows, and Advanced Learning Institute programs. Presently it is estimated that more than 130,000 children have access to the Rafiki Bible Study materials through the partner church schools in the ten countries in Africa.The Advanced Learning Institute program, currently under development, will be the capstone of Rafikis education program, providing post-secondary education for adults in teacher training, business, music, and art. The first part of this program will be launched in 2013 and will train women in the start-up of private, Christian, classical preschool/kindergartens in Rafiki's ten countries. This ten-week course (minimum) will be self-study distance learning with courses in computer, keyboard, classroom management, early childhood development, record keeping, and how to start a school.With unemployment running as high as 70% in these ten countries, and with the great need for better education, this program will supply two major needs: jobs and quality schools.The participants will not only be educated through the classroom materials but will also participate in a practicum at Rafiki's school. Upon completion of the course they receive a complete set of Rafiki's curriculum and guidance in how to start their school.Financial notes:Rafiki is a member of the ECFA and maintains high standards in terms of managing its financial resources. Rafikis fundraising depends heavily upon prayer. In addition to Bible study and prayer each day at all Rafiki Villages in Africa, the Rafiki staff members at the Rafiki Home Office in Eustis, FL start each workday with prayer and Bible study. There are currently about 350 Rafiki Prayer Groups throughout the world praying regularly for the work of Rafiki.	Description

Explanation	The Internal Revenue Service has recognized Rafiki Foundation, Inc. as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, income earned in furtherance of the Foundations tax-exempt purpose is exempt from federal and state income taxes and, therefore, these financial statements include no provision or liability for income taxes. The foundation follows the reporting and disclosure guidance for uncertainty in income taxes as defined in FASB ASC 740. The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. As of December 31, 2012, the Foundation had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Generally, the IRS may review the returns for the past three years.	Explanation
