TEACHER TRAINING - UNTIL 2016 WAZA HAD TRAINED ABOUT 240 TEACHERS EACH YEAR, IN TWO LOCATIONS, KINSEVERE (A RURAL AREA) AND LUBUMBASHI (A CITY). AT KINSEVERE, WE PARTNER WITH MMG/KINSEVERE MINING COMPANY, WHERE TEACHERS ATTEND THREE WORKSHOPS. THESE ARE AT THE KINSEVERE PRIMARY, KIFITA PRIMARY, AND MUOBE SECONDARY SCHOOLS. IN LUMBUMBASHI, THE TRAINING WAS CONDUCTED AT THE MYRT SCHOOL. THERE, AT LEAST 150 TEACHERS, ATTENDED FIVE DAYS OF TRAINING. DURING THE PAST EIGHT SUMMERS (2016-2023) WE WERE NOT ABLE TO CONDUCT TRAINING IN LUMBUMBASHI DUE TO THE TENSE POLICITAL SITUATION SURROUNDING THE NATIONAL ELECTIONS AT DRC. HOWEVER, WE DO CONTINUE TO MEET WITH VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR FUTURE TRAINING SESSIONS. VISION SCREENING - DURING 2016 AND 2017 WE WERE ABLE TO CONDUCT LIMITED VERSION SCREENING EXAMINATIONS THAT DID NOT NECESSITATE GATHERINGS OF LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE. VISION SCREENING IS CRITICAL TO OUR OVERALL GOAL OF RISING THE EDUCATION LEVEL OF THE YOUTH IN THE DRC. WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF CORRECTING GLASSES IN INVENTORY, AND EXPECT SCREENING AND EYE GLASS DISTRIBUTION TO RE-START WHEN RESTRICTIONS ON LARGE GATHERINGS ARE LIFTED. SCHOLARSHIPS - WAZA ALLIANCE HAS RENEWED OUR COMMITTMENT TO OUR 28 PRIMARY AND SECONDARY STUDENTS. SEVERAL STUDENTS HAVE GRADUATED IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO THREE COLLEGE STUDENTS EACH YEAR TO FUND THEIR UNIVERSITY CLASS FEES. NOTE - THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN THE DRC, WHILE IMPROVING, HAS NOT STABILIZED TO THE POINT WHERE WAZA BELIEVES IT IS ADVISABLE TO CONDUCT TEACHER TRAINING IN LUBUMBASHI. WE ARE PLANNING TO VISIT LUBUMBASHI, WHATEVER THE SITUATION, TO PLAN AND PROMOTE OUR EDUCATIONAL GOALS WITH TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, STUDENTS, GOVERNMENT MINISTERS AND OTHER NGO'S. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES - SINCE FY 2015, WE HAVE CONTRACTED WITH MMG/KINSEVERE MINING TO SUPERVISE SCHOLARSHOPS, ASSESS THE PROGRAM OF THE SCHOLARS AND PLAN THE TRANSFER OF THESE SCHOOLS TO THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT. IN ADDITION MMG/ KINSEVERE HAS PROVIDED FUNDS TO ESTABLISH A LIBRARY FOR THE STUDENT'S USE. GRANTS AND OTHER SIMILAR AMOUNTS PAID. THESE FUNDS WERE PAID DIRECTLY TO SCHOOLS, FOR TUITION, FEES AND SUPPLIES FOR THE SCHOLARS NOTED ABOVE. 31250 X 61053 61053 RICHARD HOLLOWELL TREASURER 3.00 0 FAUSTIN N'TALA PRESIDENT 8.00 0 JACK LEONARD VICE PRESIDE 2.00 0 SYLVIA HYDE SECRETARY 1.00 0 false false false false false false true 7860 false false IN RICHARD HOLLOWELL PO BOX 28 PENNEY FARMS FL 32079 9045226520 true CG false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 42473 12641 28538 24327 27327 135306 42473 12641 28538 24327 27327 135306 41308 93998 135306 122707 0.69470 0.61750 X LOAN FROM JACK LEONARD VICE PRESIDENT OPERATIONS X 5000 5000 false true false LOAN FROM RICHARD HOLLOWELL TREASURER FUND RAISING X 1460 1460 false true false LOAN FROM LULU DIRECTOR OF DRC OPER OPERATIONS X 1400 1400 false true true 7860 FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 10 NAME: SCHOLARSHIPS CASH CONTRIBUTION: 31,250 FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 16 EXPENSES MMG STUDENT FOLLOW UP 6,000 VISION SCREENING - ROOM R 4,200 TRAVEL - INTERNATIONAL 3,435 STIPENDS TO CONGO INSPECT 7,200 BANK FEES 75 TELEPHONE AND COMMUNICATI 1,750 BOOKS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 333 EDUCATIONAL SUPPLIES AND 7,071 SEMINARS - EDUCATIONAL MA 900 LATE FILING FEE 320 NON-INVESTMENT DEPRECIATION 997 TOTAL 32,281 FORM 990-EZ, PART II, LINE 24 INVENTORIES FOR SALE OR USE 71,772 71,772 LAPTOPS 6,860 6,860 LESS ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION 3,660 4,657 OFFICE FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT 0 0 TOTAL 74,972 73,975 FORM 990-EZ, PART II, LINE 26 LOANS FROM OFFICERS 7,860 7,860 FORM 990-EZ, PART III WAZA ALLIANCE'S PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CHILDREN IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, BEGINNING WITH THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC) BY IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF THEIR EDUCATION.
