DescriptionTHE ORGANIZATION'S LARGEST PROGRAM SERVICE IS THE CHILD AND STUDENT SPONSORSHIP INITIATIVE. 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 AND SEVEN COLLEGE STUDENTS INDIVIDUALLY 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 100,000 IN GRANT FUNDS TO HELP IN 2011, WHICH PROVIDED FULL FUNDING FOR MORE THAN THIRTEEN STUDENTS. THE THIRD LARGEST PROGRAM SERVICE FOR OUTLAYS IN 2011 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. 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 106,000 WAS DEPLOYED FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF, INCLUDING WATER FILTRATION PROJECTS, IN 2011.Description

ANY SIGNIFICANT NEW PROGRAM SERVICES NOT LISTED ON A PRIOR RETURNFORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 2THE 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 CONTINUED INTO 2011 AND WAS MADE POSSIBLE, IN PART, FROM A GENEROUS GRANT FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO.
FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTIONFORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4ATHEY ATTEND ONE OF THE THREE ACCREDITED UNIVERSITIES IN HAITI - THE UNIVERSITY OF HAITI, THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME AND QUISQUIYA UNIVERSITY.
