BUT CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN ORPHANED OR ABANDONED ARE OFTEN ALONE, SEPARATED FROM SIBLINGS, AND LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES IN ORPHANAGES OR ON THE STREET. SELAMTA RECREATES AND EMPOWERS FAMILIES SO THESE CHILDREN CAN GROW UP KNOWING THEIR GOD-GIVEN DIGNITY AND WORTH, HEALING GENERATIONAL BROKENNESS, AND TRANSFORMING LIVES. SELAMTA'S HOLISTIC, COMMUNITY-INTEGRATED, PERMANENT APPROACH BRINGS CHILDREN FROM INSTITUTIONS AND THE STREET INTO THE LOVING ARMS OF A HEALTHY FAMILY WHERE HOPE AND HEALING ARE FOUND. 0 0 384722 324523 THE NEED FOR SELAMTA'S PROGRAMS IS SIGNIFICANT. POVERTY, BROKENNESS, AND A LACK OF DOMESTIC ADOPTION IN ETHIOPIA CREATE AN URGENT NEED FOR ALTERNATIVES TO INSTITUTIONS OR LIFE ON THE STREETS. CHILDREN OFTEN COME TO SELAMTA FROM GOVERNMENT ORPHANAGES AND INSTITUTIONS, WHERE THEY MAY BE SEPARATED FROM SIBLINGS AND LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES. OUR FOREVER FAMILIES PROVIDE A PERMANENT SOLUTION, RECREATING AND EMPOWERING FAMILIES SO THESE CHILDREN CAN THRIVE. SELAMTA IS TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH OUR CORE COMPETENCIES:WRAPAROUND CARE: OUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM FOCUSES ON EDUCATION, HEALTH AND WELLNESS, PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT, AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT, PROVIDING THE STRUCTURE AND SUPPORT NECESSARY FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY TO GROW AND ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS.COMMUNITY INTEGRATION: WE LEVERAGE THE SYSTEMS AND RESOURCES OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, INCLUDING SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, AND MEDICAL RESOURCES, TO ENSURE OUR FAMILIES' NEEDS ARE MET. WHEN LOCAL RESOURCES ARE UNAVAILABLE, WE EXTEND BEYOND GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES TO SECURE WHAT'S NEEDED.PERMANENCY: PLACEMENT WITH A FOREVER FAMILY IS PERMANENT. EVEN AFTER A CHILD GROWS UP AND ESTABLISHES THEMSELVES, THEY ALWAYS HAVE A SUPPORT NETWORK FROM THEIR FAMILY AND SELAMTA'S PROFESSIONAL TEAM.WHILE A CULTURE OF ADOPTION IS BEING NURTURED IN ETHIOPIA, SELAMTA'S FOREVER FAMILIES STAND IN THE GAP FOR CHILDREN WHO NEED TO KNOW THE LOVE OF A FAMILY TODAY. IN 2024, SELAMTA FAMILY PROJECT MARKED A HISTORIC MILESTONE BY LAUNCHING OUR FIRST FULL FOREVER FAMILY INTO INDEPENDENCE AFTER 19 YEARS OF HOLISTIC CARE. THIS YEAR ALSO SAW THE PUBLICATION OF A PHD DISSERTATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA HIGHLIGHTING THE TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT OF OUR MODEL-100% OF SELAMTA YOUTH GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL (VS. 17% NATIONAL AVERAGE), 78% COMPLETED HIGHER EDUCATION (VS. 3%), AND ALL SECURED HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT, WITH ONE BECOMING A HOMEOWNER. OUR TEAM CONTINUED TO INFLUENCE NATIONAL CHILD WELFARE POLICY IN ETHIOPIA, PARTICIPATING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NATIONAL STANDARD OF CARE FOR YOUTH AGING OUT OF CARE. WE SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITIONED 14 YOUTH INTO INDEPENDENT LIVING, WHILE CONTINUING TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALIZED, HOLISTIC SUPPORT ACROSS EDUCATION, HEALTH, AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT. THIS INCLUDED SPECIALIZED SCHOOL PLACEMENTS, CHRONIC AND ACUTE HEALTH CARE SUPPORT, AND CONSISTENT FAITH-BASED PROGRAMMING. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS, SELAMTA HAS STRENGTHENED OUR FAMILIES, BRINGING HOPE AND STABILITY TO THEIR LIVES. 384722 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 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 ET 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 FL X SELAMTA FAMILY PROJECT 8456610051 204 E HIBISCUS ST LAKE PLACID FL 33852 JULIA ROBERTSON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 61827 0 0 ANDREW BURMEISTER PRESIDENT/SECRETARY 2.50 X X 0 0 0 AIDAN BARRY TREASURER 2.50 X X 0 0 0 MARISA STAM BOARD MEMBER 2.50 X 0 0 0 JAMES WASZ BOARD MEMBER 2.50 X 0 0 0 JIM SERPLISS DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 SEYENIE YACOB DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 61827 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 75340 442884 4600 518224 2 2 12272 11990 282 282 282 0 75340 1640 -1640 -1640 OTHER MISCELLANEOUS IN 900099 29075 29075 29075 545943 29075 0 -1356 6429 6429 318094 318094 61827 40187 15457 6183 37149 9287 27862 7571 3785 1182 2604 2800 2800 498 498 1190 631 559 2221 1383 183 655 3126 1509 1617 2384 801 1583 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 13396 2390 6218 4788 CC PROCESSING FEES 8278 4139 4139 BANK SERVICE FEES 1799 226 1573 LICENSES AND PERMITS 61 61 466823 384722 35372 46729 40611 113424 5195 24575 1089 1089 46895 139088 13449 26522 13449 26522 X 24750 56174 8696 56392 33446 112566 46895 139088 79120 0 X X 1 X 0 1 0 X 571460 609528 586374 572371 518224 2857957 7195 26631 36183 1200 71209 578655 636159 622557 573571 518224 2929166 28569 37751 28259 47765 142344 150039 159379 136943 146240 592601 178608 197130 165202 194005 734945 2194221 27 38 19 2 2 88 27 38 19 2 2 88 216 417 29357 29990 578682 636413 622993 573573 547583 2959244 0.74150 0.81570 0.00000 X SCHEDULE A, PART III, LINE 12, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2021 AMOUNT: $ 216. 2022 AMOUNT: $ 417. 2024 AMOUNT: $ 29,357.
