The organization operates a primary school, provides continuing education to students who qualify, operates a community health and services outreach center. Additionally, the organization also supports St. Rafael Junior High in Uganda, extending and supporting electric grids in the community, and is continuing work to construct a girls dormitory which began December 2021. Weather conditions were uncooperative in 2023. While the area is used to the annual wet/dry season challenges, the year was particularly difficult with a prolonged period of drought followed by heavy flooding. The Foundation addressed this by adding a new water collection system and reservoir to provide a reliable water supply. A lot of dirt also needed to be moved to improve drainage. Additionally, in combination with Martens-Kkonge Coffee Project we are helping to empower local farmers to take their product to market without having to rely on middlemen. The plan is to purchase processing machines to allow farmers to go direct. The foundation also has been working on creating a working farm. As of November of 2023, the farm owns 12 cows and 62 goats. The cows provide milk to sell, and the goats are primarily used for food. 147692 147692 147692 Peter Wickman Secretary 5.00 0 Dixie Jirak President 5.00 0 Dennis Kasule Director 5.00 0 Glenn Yamamoto Treasurer 5.00 0 David Wenig Director 5.00 0 Karen Becker Director 5.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false IL Peter J Wickman 370 Mahogany Drive Algonquin IL 60102 8477156181 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 252123 216779 298744 92520 135541 995707 0 0 0 0 252123 216779 298744 92520 135541 995707 0 0 995707 3504 1603 792 92 5991 0 3504 1603 792 92 5991 0 0 252123 220283 300347 93312 135633 1001698 0.99400 0.99320 0.00600 0.00680 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Luncheon 23974 23974 1000 5276 251 23974 23974 1000 5276 251 6527 17447 Part I, Line 2b - Fundraiser Additional Information Luncheon Fundraiser Grants and Similar Amounts Paid In Excess of $5,000.1 | Cash Amount Given: $147692 Other Expenses.1 Computer/IT $2146 Other Expenses.2 Bank Fees $849
