BUT CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN ORPHANED OR ABANDONED ARE OFTEN ALONE, SEPARATED FROM SIBLINGS, AND LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES IN ORPHANAGES OR ON THE STREET. SELAMTA RECREATES AND EMPOWERS FAMILIES SO THESE CHILDREN CAN GROW UP KNOWING THEIR GOD-GIVEN DIGNITY AND WORTH, HEALING GENERATIONAL BROKENNESS, AND TRANSFORMING LIVES. SELAMTA'S HOLISTIC, COMMUNITY-INTEGRATED, PERMANENT APPROACH BRINGS CHILDREN FROM INSTITUTIONS AND THE STREET INTO THE LOVING ARMS OF A HEALTHY FAMILY WHERE HOPE AND HEALING ARE FOUND. 0 0 508133 421011 1200 THE NEED FOR SELAMTA'S PROGRAMS IS SIGNIFICANT. POVERTY, BROKENNESS, AND A LACK OF DOMESTIC ADOPTION IN ETHIOPIA CREATE AN URGENT NEED FOR ALTERNATIVES TO INSTITUTIONS OR LIFE ON THE STREETS. CHILDREN OFTEN COME TO SELAMTA FROM GOVERNMENT ORPHANAGES AND INSTITUTIONS, WHERE THEY MAY BE SEPARATED FROM SIBLINGS AND LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES. OUR FOREVER FAMILIES PROVIDE A PERMANENT SOLUTION, RECREATING AND EMPOWERING FAMILIES SO THESE CHILDREN CAN THRIVE. SELAMTA IS TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH OUR CORE COMPETENCIES:WRAPAROUND CARE: OUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM FOCUSES ON EDUCATION, HEALTH AND WELLNESS, PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT, AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT, PROVIDING THE STRUCTURE AND SUPPORT NECESSARY FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY TO GROW AND ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS.COMMUNITY INTEGRATION: WE LEVERAGE THE SYSTEMS AND RESOURCES OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, INCLUDING SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, AND MEDICAL RESOURCES, TO ENSURE OUR FAMILIES' NEEDS ARE MET. WHEN LOCAL RESOURCES ARE UNAVAILABLE, WE EXTEND BEYOND GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES TO SECURE WHAT'S NEEDED.PERMANENCY: PLACEMENT WITH A FOREVER FAMILY IS PERMANENT. EVEN AFTER A CHILD GROWS UP AND ESTABLISHES THEMSELVES, THEY ALWAYS HAVE A SUPPORT NETWORK FROM THEIR FAMILY AND SELAMTA'S PROFESSIONAL TEAM.WHILE A CULTURE OF ADOPTION IS BEING NURTURED IN ETHIOPIA, SELAMTA'S FOREVER FAMILIES STAND IN THE GAP FOR CHILDREN WHO NEED TO KNOW THE LOVE OF A FAMILY TODAY. SELAMTA FAMILY PROJECT CONTINUED TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALIZED AND INTENTIONAL HOLISTIC CARE TO EACH CHILD AND FAMILY WE SERVE, FOCUSING ON EDUCATION, HEALTH, AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT. OUR EDUCATION TEAM DILIGENTLY WORKED TO DETERMINE THE BEST SCHOOL PLACEMENTS FOR EACH CHILD, ENSURING THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS WERE MET, ALLOWING THEM TO THRIVE ACADEMICALLY. WE SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED 17 YOUNG ADULTS INTO INDEPENDENCE AND CONTRIBUTED TO POLICY CHANGES BY SERVING ON A SELECTIVE ADVISORY BOARD FOR A GOVERNMENT-RUN PROGRAM SUPPORTING YOUNG ADULTS TRANSITIONING OUT OF CARE. ADDITIONALLY, OUR TEAM PLAYED A PIVOTAL ROLE IN PLANNING, HOSTING, AND LEADING THE FIRST-EVER TRUST-BASED RELATIONAL INTERVENTION (TBRI) TRAINING ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT, WITH FIVE PSYCHOSOCIAL TEAM MEMBERS BECOMING CERTIFIED TBRI PRACTITIONERS. OUR HEALTH TEAM REMAINED COMMITTED TO TREATING ACUTE AND CHRONIC CONDITIONS WHILE SECURING THE BEST CARE AND RESOURCES FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES. SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT WAS ALSO A PRIORITY, PROVIDING WEEKLY BIBLE STUDIES, SMALL GROUP FAITH DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS, AND INTENTIONAL PRAYER GATHERINGS, WHICH WERE CRUCIAL FOR OUR FAMILIES DURING TIMES OF CIVIL UNREST AND GLOBAL INFLATION. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS, SELAMTA HAS STRENGTHENED OUR FAMILIES, BRINGING HOPE AND STABILITY TO THEIR LIVES.SELAMTA'S COMMUNITY CENTER IS IN THE HEART OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. IT SERVES OUR FAMILIES, HOUSES OUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM, AND PROVIDES RESOURCES FOR THE COMMUNITY. WITH A COMPUTER LAB, LENDING LIBRARY, COUNSELING ROOM, AND FIRST AID CLINIC, SELAMTA FAMILIES KNOW WHERE TO GO AND WHOM TO CALL FOR WHATEVER THEY NEED. RECOGNIZING THE TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY CENTER'S WRAPAROUND CARE PROVIDES IN BUILDING A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR FAMILIES, OUR TEAM HAS BEGUN DEVELOPING A STRATEGY FOR A NEW COMMUNITY CENTER. THIS NEW CENTER AIMS TO SUPPORT MORE VULNERABLE FAMILIES IN OTHER PARTS OF ADDIS ABABA. EMPOWERING AND EQUIPPING OUR FAMILIES IS ALWAYS OUR FIRST PRIORITY. EVERY FAMILY NEEDS A NETWORK OF RELIABLE SUPPORT. 508133 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 4 1 0 1 ET 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 FL X SELAMTA FAMILY PROJECT 8456610051 204 E HIBISCUS ST LAKE PLACID FL 33852 MARISA STAM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 20.00 X X 10154 0 0 JAMES WASZ PRESIDENT 2.50 X X 0 0 0 ANDY BURMEISTER SECRETARY 2.50 X X 0 0 0 AIDAN BARRY TREASURER 2.50 X X 0 0 0 JIM SERPLISS DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 LISA KONZELMAN DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 SEYENIE YACOB DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 JULIA ROBERTSON DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS AND OPERATIONS 40.00 X X 42019 0 0 52173 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 92985 479386 1500 572371 TRIP INCOME 900099 1200 1200 1200 2 2 12310 12099 211 211 211 0 92985 1605 -1605 -1605 572179 1200 0 -1392 6641 6641 414370 414370 52173 37536 11521 3116 82640 35151 5795 41694 10313 5560 1325 3428 3946 3946 1185 71 1114 4695 4695 1408 674 734 2263 360 1903 CC PROCESSING FEES 11592 5796 5796 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 11582 2679 4062 4841 BANK SERVICE FEES 1366 131 1235 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN 225 225 110 40 70 604509 508133 37501 58875 90811 40611 1897 5195 1089 1089 93797 46895 28021 13449 28021 13449 X 42491 24750 23285 8696 65776 33446 93797 46895 -32330 0 X X 1 X 0 1 0 X 504654 571460 609528 586374 572371 2844387 22887 7195 26631 36183 1200 94096 527541 578655 636159 622557 573571 2938483 28569 37751 28259 94579 150039 159379 136943 446361 178608 197130 165202 540940 2397543 13 27 38 19 2 99 13 27 38 19 2 99 216 417 633 527554 578682 636413 622993 573573 2939215 0.81570 0.86600 0.00000 X SCHEDULE A, PART III, LINE 12, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2021 AMOUNT: $ 216. 2022 AMOUNT: $ 417.
