On issues of faith and justice in Africa, we sent communications to members last year by mail and in print. AFJN wrote articles for our website, issued press communications, held events on timely US-Africa topic. Worked with partners, coalitions, and networks, briefed members of the Administration and Congress, educated interns, congregations, parishes, faith-based organizations and the public. 88909 230000 Communication and education on Just Governance: African bishops have identified corruption as Africa's major problem and describe it as a "cancer that stands in the way of Africa's development." AFJN works to empower communities in AFrica to tackle these problems. Land grabbing: Since 2008, foreign investors, some of whom are private banks and pension funds, have acquired massive tracts of farmland, resulting in displacement and loss of livelihood for many families. At the request of local people, AFJN organizes workshops and conferences, town hall meetings and radio programs to educate local communities about land grabbing, and support small-scale farmers and responsible investments in Africa's agricultural sector. 276124 55948 Empowering women in Africa: AFJN assists African women religious in shaping their role as agents of change beyond providing services to the poor. It builds on the strength of the sisters as service providers, mobilizing them towards changing the structures that perpetuate poverty and oppression and injustice in their communities and countries. It works with them to build them into a formidable force for addressing the current socioeconomic and political ills. 0 0 0 460141 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 13 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Africa Faith and Justice Network 2028173670 3025 4th Street NE Floor 2 Washington DC 20017 Steven Nabieu Rogers Executive Director 40 0 X X 80000 0 0 Ebuka Mbanude Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Nkechi Iwuoha Board Chair 1 1 X X 0 0 0 Maura Browne Board Vice Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Bill Christy Board Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Jemima Andan Board Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Margaret Doyle Board Member, Development Chair 1 0 X 0 0 0 Barthelemy Bazemo Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Charles Brown Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ruffino Ezama Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 George Kintiba Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jean-Marie Mvumbi Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 Arleen Peterson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Faustine Wabwire Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Chero Chuma Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 80000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19600 0 0 0 521395 74600 540995 0 24250 24250 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 565245 24250 0 0 80000 32000 20000 28000 199085 113478 47781 37826 10473 5235 2514 2724 21608 11020 5186 5402 17296 8821 4151 4324 7700 1926 5774 187 187 28607 14589 6866 7152 27089 13815 6502 6772 13378 12843 535 8897 8897 1240 1240 Projects and Programs 215137 215137 0 0 In Kind 74600 22380 52220 705297 460141 152956 92200 1037505 1172644 350000 75000 89 95 0 0 0 1387594 1247739 8831 10194 1164250 1500 5032 3865 1178113 15559 X 184603 132654 24878 1099526 209481 1232180 1387594 1247739 -140052 0 0 0 1162751 0 X 0 0 0 X 705853 251909 480600 387134 540995 2366491 705853 251909 480600 387134 540995 2366491 2366491 24250 24250 2390741 0.98986 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3865 3865 X In Kind 1 74600 estimate based on comparable fees charged by experts 0 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The organization has membership (individual, supporting, and organizational/institutional).
