WE PAIR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN NORTH AMERICA WITH CHILDREN AND COLLEGE STUDENTS UNDER THE CARE OF OUR PARTNERING ORGANIZATIONS IN HAITI. WITH OVER 220 CHILDREN SPONSORED, THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES FUNDING AND OVERSIGHT FOR EDUCATION, HOUSING, NUTRITION, CLOTHING, SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND OTHER NEEDFUL LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT. THE NEXT 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 QUISQUIYA 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 OR 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 103,125 IN GRANT FUNDS TO HELP IN 2012, WHICH PROVIDED FULL FUNDING FOR MORE THAN THIRTEEN STUDENTS. THE THIRD LARGEST PROGRAM SERVICE FOR OUTLAYS IN 2012 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. IN TOTAL, 2,184 FAMILIES TOOK PART IN THE CLM PROGRAM IN 2011. OF THOSE, 1,100 WERE RECRUITED IN 2010 AND WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GRADUATE IN 2012. OF THE REMAINDER, 950 WERE NEWLY RECRUITED IN 2011. FINALLY, WE ARE THRILLED THAT 132 MEMBERS WERE ABLE TO GRADUATE OUT OF A TOTAL OF 134 THAT ACTUALLY FINISHED THE PROGRAM IN 2011. THE 98% GRADUATION RATE IS A TESTAMENT TO THE FACT THAT CLM'S TEAM OF CASE MANAGERS IS CONTUING TO DO WORK THAT IS TRULY CHANGING MEMBERS' LIVES AND HELPING THEM ON THE PATH TO A BETTER LIFE. THE ORGANIZATION SENT 58,705 TO CLM IN 2012. THOUGH NOT AN ONGOING PROGRAM SERVICE, THE ORGANIZATION NECESSARILY HAD TO RAISE FUNDS IN 2010 FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF ONE OF OUR PARTNER HOMES IN HAITI, THE ST. JOSEPH'S HOME FOR BOYS IN PORT-AU-PRINCE THAT WAS DESTROYED IN THE EARTHQUAKE IN JANUARY 2010. THROUGH THIS MINISTRY, STREET CHILDREN ARE GIVEN A FAMILY, EDUCATION, HOUSING AND NUTRITION, AND ARE TAUGHT LEADERSHIP. ADDITIONALLY, AS A DIRECT RESULT OF CONTINUED POOR LIVING CONDITIONS IN THE WAKE OF THE EARTHQUAKE, AS WELL AS SEVERAL HURRICANES AND TROPICAL STORMS, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF CHOLERA OUTBREAKS IN HAITI. APPROXIMATELY 42,930 WAS DEPLOYED FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF, INCLUDING WATER FILTRATION PROJECTS, IN 2012. 354265 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 1 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 X ROBERT C BARGER 10.00 X X 0 0 0 ADAM HEBENER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN RINDELS 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CHAD JOHNSON 2.00 X 0 0 0 ERIN MURPHY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 DOUG HILL 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN CARPENTER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RHONDA BOSTROM 1.00 X X 0 0 0 false false false 379571 379571 183 183 379754 183 334065 334065 13500 13500 1033 1033 2800 2800 23450 16250 7200 8415 2750 5665 BANKING/ADMINISTRATIVE FE 9689 9689 OTHER EXPENSES 4322 4322 SUPPLIES 1200 1200 398474 354265 44209 0 184662 177786 39817 25442 224479 203228 10425 4769 25000 28125 35425 32894 X 56335 71768 132719 98566 189054 170334 224479 203228 -18720 X false false X 332719 261052 891529 453576 379571 2318447 332719 261052 891529 453576 379571 2318447 40307 2278140 229 3350 938 183 4700 2323147 14312 0.98060 0.99790 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false CARIBBEAN GRANTS/ASSISTANCE 334065 334065 334065 CARIBBEAN CHILD WELFARE 134735 WIRE CARIBBEAN CHILD WELFARE 53732 WIRE CARIBBEAN CHILD WELFARE 40603 WIRE CARIBBEAN EMERGENCY RELIEF 42930 WIRE CARIBBEAN CHILD WELFARE 58705 WIRE 5 false false false false false false PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES 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.
