Through its CHILDREN'S PRESCHOOL PROGRAM, in 2023 LWFK (Living Water For Kenya, Inc) funded the operation of six preschools that served over 300 severely impoverished children. For many of these children, the only food and clothing that they had was provided at school by LWFK. The free education that they received has given them a head start on learning skills that will serve them for life. LWFK reconstructed five preschool classrooms and two preschool toilet buildings that had seriously deteriorated from termite and storm damage. No funding other than that provided by LWFK is available. for these needs. The Kenyan government has no assistance available. 0 22456 The BLESSED TO BLESS ACADEMY is a grade 1 through 8 School for approximately 250 youth that was built by LWFK. In 2023 LWFK funded repairs to and maintenance of several buildings on the campus. LWFK also provided bussing for the school children. LWFK's donor sponsors fully covered the educational costs of 53 of the Academy's students. No funding other than that provided by LWFK is available for these needs. The Kenyan government has no assistance available. 0 50005 Continued SCHOOLING OF THE ACADEMY GRADUATES. Most of our sponsors have loyally supported the 40 students that have graduated the Academy's 8th grade and are now attending local high schools. Even though these students are no longer in the Academy, our donors continue to fund their education. Other than from LWFK, there are no assistance programs for these children in Kenya to cover their high school costs. 0 21035 Through its CHURCH SUPPORT PROGRAM LWFK worked in 2023 with six local churches to establish good and secure facilities, training, and pastor housing. LWFK has provided most of these churches with water wells, the water is provided free to the community. Two of the churches are used for the adult Literacy/Bible Programs and one that is used for sewing classes on weekdays is also used by the government for a medical clinic on Saturdays. These churches often provide seminars for Christian training of church leaders throughout the region. No funding other than that provided by LWFK is available for these needs. The Kenyan government has no assistance available. 0 7187 Through LWFK's unique ADULT BIBLE STUDY AND LITERACY PROGRAMS in two of the churches, illiterate people are having their lives changed. One of these programs serves 120 Senior Adults while the other serves 25. These classes teach them how to read and how to handle money. In addition, 10 adult "SEEKERs" are learning about Jesus. These two churches are in extremely remote, rural areas where most of the adults have no such knowledge. LWFK provides eyeglasses and shoes through the Literacy/Bible Program. In 2021 one of the women graduates won an election for a community leader position. In winning, she beat five men because she had these skills, and they did not. This program, which welcomes anyone, is changing lives. No funding other than that provided by LWFK is available for these needs. The Kenyan government has no assistance available. 0 13729 The WIDOW PROGRAM reaches out to older ladies and some widowers and provides them both with fellowship and with a means of raising food for themselves to eat and to sell. Over 180 elderly currently participate in the program which provides them with corn seeds and fertilizer for the two growing seasons. One of the benefits of this program is that each participant brings in 10% of their harvest which they distribute among the less fortunate and the more infirm of the community. Under this program LWFK also has an element which using treadle sewing machines teaches widows and young women at two locations how to sew (make) clothing which they sell. No funding other than that provided by LWFK is available for these needs. The Kenyan government has no assistance available. 0 6767 121179 David W Hansen President 33 0 0 0 Ron Case Secretary 10 0 0 0 Wayne Oestreich Treasurer 10 0 0 0 John Imala Board Member Kenyan Coordinator 30 0 0 0 Eleanor Hansen Board Member 15.00 0 0 0 Sandi Case Board Member 10 0 0 0 Diane Oestreich Board Member 5 0 0 0 Mary Imala Board Member Kenyan Assistant Coordinator 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA David Hansen 78850 Sunrise Mountain View Palm Desert CA 922112614 9092895788 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 127395 91733 120055 162262 117503 618948 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 127395 91733 120055 162262 117503 618948 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 618948 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 127395 91733 120055 162262 117503 618948 1 1 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Other expenses include but are not limited to: Governmental Fees, Bank Charges, Office Supplies, Associations, and services.
