THE PROCESS OF GOING TO FETCH WATER IS A LONG AND ARDUOUS ONE AND USUALLY FALLS TO YOUNG GIRLS. THEY MUST TRAVEL HOURS IN EACH DIRECTION, FACING WILD ANIMALS, PRECARIOUS TERRAIN, AND EVEN PREDATORY ADULTS. EVEN IF THEIR JOURNEY IS A "SAFE" ONE, THEY MISS SCHOOL, PUTTING THEM BEHIND. PART OF THIS INITIATIVE IS THE INSTALLATION OF WELLS FOR CLEAN, UNCOMTAMINATED WATER RIGHT IN THE VILLAGES OF SOUTH SUDAN WHERE THEY ARE SO DESPARATELY NEEDED. 124967 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 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 1 OD 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 X SHARON EDWARDS 2023295482 205 YOAKUM PARKWAY 519 ALEXANDRIA VA 22304 DARRIN PETERSON CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD 25.00 X X 0 0 0 LANCE M MARTIN PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DR CHOLENE ESPINOZA VP/MEDICAL PROGRAMS 10.00 X X 0 0 0 SHARON EDWARDS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 22000 0 0 M SEAN PURCELL DIRECTOR/LEGAL COUNSEL 1.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER SPEARS OLSEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELLEN RATNER EMERITA 1.00 X 0 0 0 22000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 105693 105693 105693 0 0 0 X 22000 16500 5500 810 810 4605 4605 22168 22168 622 622 2065 2065 9890 9890 FOOD PROGRAM EXPENSE 35575 35575 WELLS PROGRAM EXPENSE 15800 15800 FARM PROGRAM EXPENSE 11224 11224 GOAT PROGRAM EXPENSE 10214 10214 3776 3596 180 138749 124967 13160 622 68306 35250 23511 23511 0 0 3545 3545 71851 38795 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 71851 38795 71851 38795 71851 38795 -33056 0 X 0 0 0 X 196122 217042 187241 158388 105693 864486 196122 217042 187241 158388 105693 864486 64364 64364 0 64364 64364 800122 196122 217042 187241 158388 105693 864486 0.92550 0.83130 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 23511 23511 0 0 OTHER RECEIVABLES 3545 3545 EAST AFRICA - SOUTH SUDAN 2 2 PROVIDING MEDICAL EDUCATION, EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT AND FOSTERING SUSTAINABILITY 95931 2 2 0 0 2 2 95931 0 95931 0 0 0 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE COMMITTEE PRIOR TO ITS FILING.
