The primary goal of the TUDAI and TUKAI programs is to empower adolescents to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health, aiming to reduce vulnerabilities and ensure the protection of their rights. The initiative seeks to instill a shared sense of responsibility within communities to support girls and boys in completing their education and leading successful lives. The project first engaged community leaders and stakeholders to hear their perspectives on the topic and issues affecting young girls and boys and ensure the communities were ready to support these efforts. The team then invited parents and guardians to trainings to share the program and hear from them what they see the issues are and get their support for beginning dialogue around the topic with their children and others. The team continued to work with the trained female Peer Educators and trained 15 male Peer Educators from each of these communities to conduct a series of workshops with 375 boys. Workshops for all 750 were conducted during school breaks in April, August and December of 2024. 74345 4290 0 440877 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 1 0 1 KE 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X X Nicole Minor 2812921211 PO Box 9823 The Woodlands TX 77387 Nicole Minor Executive Director 50 X X 77400 0 0 Katelyn Colston YWLC Program Manager 50 X 43267 0 0 Michelle Patterson Board Chair 3 0 X 0 0 0 Greg Mar Board Member 0.50 0 X 0 0 0 Sean Murphy Secretary 0.50 0 X 0 0 0 120667 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 156287 0 0 330459 0 486746 Program Revenue YWLC Application & Program Income 900099 28667 28667 0 0 Program Revenue Kenyan Women's Network Revolving Funds 900099 837 837 0 0 0 0 0 0 29504 0 0 0 0 9400 156287 11992 -2592 -2592 0 0 513658 29504 -2592 0 12334 12334 297124 297124 0 0 120667 81967 19350 19350 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9230 6270 1480 1480 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 30750 30000 0 750 5314 2657 0 2657 4744 2372 1186 1186 806 403 201 202 0 0 0 0 12000 6000 3000 3000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1560 780 780 Bank Fees 1940 970 485 485 Fundraising Expense 4455 0 0 4455 500924 440877 26482 33565 299844 305835 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 30032 36912 0 94483 94483 424359 437230 5502 3985 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1961 3615 7463 7600 X 371896 392630 45000 37000 416896 429630 424359 437230 12734 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 122810 185504 174132 167834 231911 882191 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 122810 185504 174132 167834 231911 882191 147818 734373 498 247 1007 930 837 3519 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26675 0 0 0 26675 912385 28667 0.80489 0.79406 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 PPP Loan Forgiveness non-taxable other income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 30000 0 0 0 0 0 30000 30000 0 0 0 0 0 30000 30000 0 0 0 0 0 30000 30000 0 0 0 0 0 30000 30000 0 0 0 0 0 30000 1 0 0 0 0 Kenya Cooperative revolving fund receivables 36912 C 36912 Investment in Partnerships 94483 94483 0 Federal Income Taxes 3615 3615 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The intended use of the quasi-endowment fund is to build long-term financial stability for the organization in order to grow programs and fund administrative costs consistent with the organization's mission. 1 Sub-Saharan Africa 1 8 Program Services Proved Access to formal education and mentorship through the Student Sponsorship Program.
