WE CURRENTLY HOUSE 20 CHILDREN AND ASSIST DOZENS MORE IN THE AREA WITH EXTRA FOOD, EDUCATION, SUPPLIES, AND COUNSELING. VIOLENT GANGS THAT NOW CONTROL PORT-AU-PRINCE ARE BLOCKING ROADWAYS AND KIDNAPPING, RAPING, AND MURDERING CIVILIANS. IT WAS NO LONGER SAFE TO OPERATE OUR HOME IN THIS AREA, SO THE VERTILE FOUNDATION BUILT A NEW CHILDREN'S HOME IN LEOGANE, HAITI,AND MOVED THE CHILDREN TO THIS SAFER LOCATION, WITHIN A THREE MINUTE WALK TO OUR SCHOOL. WHEN FULLY COMPLETED, THIS NEW FACILITY WILL HOUSE 24 CHILDREN AND HAVE A LARGER CAPACITY FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS SUCH AS SUMMER CAMPS, TUTORING,AND LANGUAGE LESSONS. 81770 EDUCATION: IN 2019, THE VERTILE FOUNDATION OPENED A SCHOOL IN LEOGANE, HAITI, WHICH CURRENTLY EDUCATES OVER 150 STUDENTS. WE ALSO PROVIDE TEACHER TRAINING AND ACT AS A REGIONAL TESTING CENTER FOR OUR DISTRICT. ONLY 20% OF CHILDREN IN HAITI MAKE IT PAST 6TH GRADE DUE TO THE COUNTRY'S EXTREME POVERTY AND VIOLENCE. SIXTY PERCENT OF HAITIANS LIVE IN POVERTY, AND RECENT EARTHQUAKES AND HURRICANES HAVE DECIMATED MANY SCHOOLS, MOST OF WHICH HAVE NEVER BEEN REBUILT. THE POVERTY AND LACK OF EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES HAVE LEFT THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN SHAMBLES, CONTRIBUTING TO THE CYCLE OF POVERTY. EDUCATION IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO LIFT A CHILD, FAMILY, AND COMMUNITY OUT OF POVERTY.TEACHER TRAINING: OUR EXCELLENT TRACK RECORD HAS EARNED US THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING A TRAINING CENTER FOR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS IN THE REGION.TESTING CENTERS: VERTILE HOUSE ALSO HAS ONE OF THE FEW TESTING CENTERS IN THE REGION. 170710 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 CO X SERINA OJALA 3037158892 6681 ARAPAHOE ROAD 1 BOULDER CO 80203 X NICOLE MILLER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID ALEXANDER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 COLIN FORKIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 GARLISE BONI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SERINA OJALA TREASURER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICARDO CHANGEUX PRESIDENT 1.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA ROZA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 87455 247262 334717 5 5 35020 87455 0 35020 35020 369742 0 0 35025 59512 57850 1662 1850 1850 4000 4000 177 177 4466 2441 360 1665 360 360 10126 10126 SUPPLIES - HOUSING 47474 47474 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE - 14000 14000 OTHER SCHOOL OPERATING 10800 10800 ACADEMIC EXPENSES - HOU 8705 8705 16913 14954 1959 178383 170710 6008 1665 247644 246859 384390 37875 154371 346515 402015 593374 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 402015 593374 402015 593374 402015 593374 191359 0 X 0 0 0 X 209268 136091 142955 136655 247261 872230 69603 122475 192078 209268 136091 142955 206258 369736 1064308 73500 86379 94716 105300 191975 551870 0 73500 86379 94716 105300 191975 551870 512438 2 1 5 5 5 18 2 1 5 5 5 18 209270 136092 142960 206263 369741 1064326 0.48150 0.52060 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 50000 50000 309451 19106 290345 24939 18769 6170 346515 HAITI 2 44 PROGRAM SERVICES PROVIDE HOUSING, FOOD, SUPPLIES AND COUNSELING TO CHILDREN IN LEOGANE, HAITI.
