This includes conserving the natural resources upon which their agro-businesses depend. We also help women play an equal role. 5 5 1 0 0 0 263772 418781 0 0 0 0 0 0 263772 418781 0 0 0 0 152442 190040 0 0 0 128905 207550 281347 397590 -17575 21191 98146 134212 1858 16733 96288 117479 X Strategies for International Development (SID) develops, applies, and promotes better methods for eradicating rural poverty. We help small farmers make the transition from subsistence to successful commercial farming. We carryout programs in the poorest regions of Guatemala and Peru. 1 0 175229 184569 In Guatemala, in 2023 we continued our regional program in Alta Verapaz. Farmers in the general population are increasing their knowledge and adopting practices to help them graduate from poverty. The results for early-adopter communities are divided into three groups: (I) 40 original communities in the municipalities of San Cristóbal and Carchá; (II) 21 original communities in the municipality of Cobán; and (II) 60 new communities in all three municipalities. The 715 coffee farming families in Group I increased their income from the baseline of $106 to $828 a year from coffee. The 477 families in Group II increased their income to $542, and the 2,165 families in Group III to $452. Nearly all of the women have second businesses. They raise and sell chickens, pigs, ducks, and turkeys for meat; produce eggs; grow vegetables, fruit, and coffee tree seedlings; roast and ground coffee; and produce traditional embroidered blouses. The average earnings per business of the 824 women from the original 61 communities went from $183 to $586. The average earnings per business of the 1,145 women from the 60 new communities went from $127 to $502. 19606 20651 In Peru, in 2023 we continued to provide technical assistance to the dairy-producing families that receive loans from our micro-credit program. We helped farmers make business plans as well as improve their land-use plans. We provided technical assistance in the practices that improve the health and nutrition of their dairy cows. 65686 69187 In Uganda, in 2023, we continued our regional program in the Luweero District. Farmers in the general population are increasing their knowledge and adopting practices to help them graduate from poverty. The farmers in the early-adopter villages increased their productivity from 113 to 124 kilos per 1/4 acre of coffee, sold more coffee in dried cherries, and had significant price increases. As a result, they increased their income from $227 to $487. Also, the number of participating families increased from 961 to 1,705. We added the women's program in the project's second year. 1,145 women started or expanded 28 different types of second businesses. All the women made business plans for their second businesses and evaluated their results. The average annual income for all the businesses was $88. 51037 53757 We began our project in Malawi in September 2023 when farmers met in workshops throughout the region and defined 22 practices they needed to adopt in order to graduate from poverty with fresh milk. They defined 12 practices for increasing productivity through better feeding, 2 through better breeding, and 5 through better animal health, 3 for improving the quality and price of the milk, 3 for conserving soils and water, and 4 for making better business decisions. 51037 0 53757 311558 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 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 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 DC X X Judith R Russo 2025441115 330 Pennsylvania Ave SE Suite 304 Washington DC 20003 Judith Russo Program and Financial Director 40 X X 60480 0 0 Nancy Hirschhorn Board President 1 X 0 0 0 Christopher Goldthwait Board Treasurer 1 X 0 0 0 Dan Berman Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Martha Rebour Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Amanda Jennings Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Charles Patterson Executive Director 40 X X 0 0 0 60480 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 418781 0 418781 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 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 418781 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 52480 0 52480 0 124694 124694 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12866 8239 4627 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23509 15873 7636 0 0 0 0 0 5906 4756 1150 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15004 9401 5603 0 64225 61764 2461 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8112 3035 5077 0 0 0 0 0 Program Supplies 51243 51243 0 0 Communications 6651 4409 2242 0 Training and Seminar Costs 4988 4988 0 0 Printing and Publications 1925 1925 0 0 25987 21231 4756 0 397590 311558 86032 0 50912 71574 0 0 0 0 24014 22229 0 0 0 7044 0 0 1858 17080 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 21362 16285 98146 134212 0 -347 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1858 17080 0 1858 16733 X 50560 56168 45728 61311 96288 117479 98146 134212 21191 0 0 0 0 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 265654 240088 208528 263732 418779 1396781 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 265654 240088 208528 263732 418779 1396781 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1396781 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 0 0 0 0 265654 240088 208528 263732 418779 1396781 1 1 0 0 X Schedule A, Part I, Line 12 We do not have any additional income other than the income from grants that were recorded in Part III, Section A.

Within the board of directors there is a finance review committee that reviews the results of the financial audit We submitted Form 8868, which was approved and granted us a 6-month extension to file. We requested the extension for the following reasons. Our auditor needed additional time to test the expenditures in our field projects (Guatemala, Peru, Uganda, and Malawi). He also needed extra time to confirm bank balances.
