We work to alleviate the effects of post-genocidal poverty through educational sponsorships and charitable giving. On top of that we promote dignity among those whom we serve and ultimately- a path to self-sufficiency and replication. We partner with reputable local churches and nonprofits who provide boots on the ground' to support our operations and to be the hands and feet of Jesus' in our target communities. We are currently partnering with churches and nonprofits in Rwanda Iraq Pakistan and Albania. We believe that God is lifting up the nation of Rwanda to be a blessing and an example of success to other countries that have experienced genocide. Our heart is for orphans and widows but we serve refugees and other vulnerable people too. Rwandan Child Sponsorship Program: We currently have 97 orphans and other vulnerable children from 4 villages across Rwanda connected to US Sponsors. For $45 per month the children are given an education school supplies healthcare food clothes shoes monthly hygiene supplies Bibles in English and their native Kinyarwanda Bible teaching beds blankets mosquito nets and wash tubs. We want to set them up for success at home school and in life. The children also receive private tutoring on Saturdays to help them get caught up in school; warm meals with gummy vitamins served at their local church each Saturday; and several kilos of dried food sent home with them each month to share with their families. In return the childrens Sponsors receive Annual Sponsorship Updates with letters and pictures from their children sharing about their growth and successes. For Christmas the children are given goats pigs or cows and seeds for planting a garden as well as instructions on how to care for and multiply them all successfully. 0 71914 Rwandan Nutrition Program Part and Line Number: Part III - Line 29 Nutrition Program: We've served over 100,000 meals and given 1000s of pounds of food relief to malnourished children all across Rwanda. This began because many of the children in our sponsorship program were too weak to go to school even if they got sponsored so we started serving meals to those children. Our Primary Nutrition Program located in Nyaraguru Rwanda now serves over 800 children and has created 11 part-time jobs in this village. We also serve meals to our 97 sponsored children weekly at their various churches which has created even more jobs. It has truly changed the lives of these little ones and restored hope in a once hopeless situation. Meals for the children consist of meat beans cabbage rice or a cup of porridge hot oatmeal and milk and a gummy vitamin when available. 0 7475 In partnership with another US nonprofit we financed the building of a school and an orphanage in southern Asia. The school is accredited by the nation's education ministry and has over 100 students serving both boys and girls Christians and Muslims ages 4-14. There are 12 teachers and staff members currently volunteers. The school sits between two villages and is the only school in the whole region. The orphanage or children's home which is attached to the school opened in October of 2022. It houses 13 children providing 24 7 supervised care. The children receive 3 meals a day they have warm beds toilets running water security guards solar power and a safe space to be. All of the children attend the school so their school fees are paid for and they receive new books and school supplies annually. They receive new clothes twice a year and school uniforms annually. 0 52737 132126 Kendra Willard Executive Director 15 0 0 0 Reuben Willard President 1 0 0 0 Weston Turner Secretary 1 0 0 0 Casey Wilbanks Treasurer 1 0 0 0 Sara Doan Board Member 1 0 0 0 Ross Pehl Board Member 1 0 0 0 Joy Field Board Member 1 0 0 0 false false false false false 0 false false false false Kendra Willard 909 Woodland Park Ave Midland TX 79705 6203382732 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 43885 89114 126536 187147 162276 608958 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43885 89114 126536 187147 162276 608958 158778 450180 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 608958 0.7393 0.5911 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part I, line 10 | Grants And Similar Amounts Paid:, Amount:| ., $131421| Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| Fees for service, $6360| Office Expenses, $4518| Advertising and promotion, $62| Information Technology, $8676| Other Expenses, $545| Insurance, $1111|
