Outreach International, Inc is "To network individuals and organizations on behalf of those we identify as 'Leaders In Obscurity' around the world. A summary of our methodology is 1) to Encourage remote leaders (through personal visits, mentoring in person, online, or one-on-one; 2) Equipping remote leaders (through in-person, small group, online training; 3) Empowering (through personal strategizing, seed resources, accountability teams; 4) Engaging leaders with others (through networking, in-persons, online, conferences, or other events. In 2023 we provided small amounts of "seed investment support' for some key network leaders in India. Before receiving any funds from us, these leaders had to identify their project related to L.I.O.N. purposes, the strategic plan for accomplishing it, and the amount of local support they could raise for their projected budget.This effort also helped these leaders begin to identify teams as well and plan and organize events and projects on behalf of the communities which they are serving. Due to the increased local persecution of those receiving "outside" funds from America, at their request, we greatly reduced again our support to our key leaders in Tamil Nadu. Program expenses went to computer training for youth, and emergency transportation for medical care of elderly slum dwellers. In Jharkand, program expenses went to the continued operation of a village computer training center at Access academy. LION also supported the completion of a dormitory style lodging for teachers, and provided major repair support due to cyclone damage to many of the buildings on campus. In West Bengal, LION leaders provided one medical camp for rural villages near Berhampur. In Punjab, L.I.O.N. supported an effort by our key leaders in Chandigarh with 30 bicycles for the teams to reach remote villages with teaching and support 20302 X 20302 In 2023 through our key leaders in Africa, as in person learning opened up, our Africa Project Against Suicide(APAS) network grew to 31 countries, according to our international APAS team. We held an in person APAS congress in Accra, Ghana for delegates from 8 countries. We also birthed a L.I.O.N. Outreach - Ghana team. Project funding went primarily to the live training events which were also streamed online. We also supported the office in the U.K. where our key coordinator for Africa is living temporarily with his family. These efforts resulted in Africa continuing as our most extensive project effort. 77542 X 77542 In 2023 L.I.O.N. Outreach International, Inc. continued providing some small emergency support to a few of our U.S. based leaders in obscurity. In all cases, the grants went to families struggling with emergency food, medical, and transportation. We continued our online teaching and training, accessible by all of the U.S. leaders. It is expected that our service expenses may continue during 2024, particularly in those areas where we have a network of Native American leaders. 23066 23066 Program Expenses include database software, internet services, computer and digital storage equipment, phone services, and miscellaneous expenses for leader offices... 7000 7000 in 2023 in Nepal we provided a small support for two church planting efforts outside of Katmandu.
