Families in our program receive efficient, Onil wood-burning stoves that reduce or eliminate smoke in the homes and Ecofiltro water filters, which reduce or eliminate the number of bacteria in drinking water. These two home interventions combat the prevalence of respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses caused by toxic smoke inhalation and consumption of contaminated water. Each family also receives seven educational sessions to learn how to use and maintain these interventions as well as strategies to maintain the overall health and hygiene of the home. In 2024, international volunteers and ODIM staff installed 61 Onil stoves and 61 Ecofilters, benefiting a total of 239 individuals. ODIM health promoters conducted 93 follow-up evaluation interviews to monitor the use and functioning of the interventions. Additionally, 6 water filters were donated to local public schools, benefiting 814 students and teachers, and 3 stoves were installed in a rural school. Health promoters also produced two instructional videos on the installation and benefits of the Onil stove for publication on social media and local cable TV channels. Health promoters also held workshops for local teachers and parents about the importance of healthy water quality to prevent illnesses. 42571 0 45445 The Mamá y Yo Saludable (Healthy Mommy and Me) program is aimed at improving maternal and child health to combat malnutrition during the first 1,000 days of a child's life.

Participants learn about topics such as healthy nutrition during their pregnancy, breast feeding, child nutrition, cooking techniques, hygiene and infant care, vaccinations, family planning methods, and how to resolve emotional conflicts with spouses and other family members.

At the end of the year, 10 mothers and their toddlers graduated from their 1,000 days in the program.

Participants also receive health consultations, house visits, regular glucose and A1c checks, and extremely low-cost monthly medicines (at approximately $1.50 per month).

In 2024, 45 students (25 girls and 22 boys) graduated from the program. Graduates demonstrated an increase in knowledge from the pre-test to 89% on the post test. Additionally, ODIM health promoters held 3 workshops for parents and teachers on various topics about human sexuality and adolescent development.

The property, consisting of land, a house, and storeroom is located in San Marcos La Laguna, Sololá, Guatemala, some two kilometers from one of ODIM's clinics located in San Pablo La Laguna. The value of $110,000 was ascertained by the purchase price plus improvements to the property. Under FASB's ASU 2020-07, which states that not-for-profits will report contributions of nonfinancial assets and services as a separate line item in the Statement of Activities and not included with other contributions, ODIM has chosen to record this donation of real property below the Change in Net Assets in its annual financial statements. This is mainly due to the significant and unusual nature of this contribution relative to ODIM's overall contribution revenues of $447,336 and the fact that it was not part of its annual budget.
