Throughout 2022, The Unforgotten provided financial support to 21 children in Lusaka, Zambia, 5 in Sanaa, Yemen, 15 in Djibouti City, Djibouti and 15 in Kathmandu, Nepal. Paid for school fees, supplies, transportation, meals, scholarships, lodging, tutoring. These children were previously not attending school and instead were living in/around landfills, looking through the waste for food to eat and items to sell, earning about 50 cents per day. The Unforgotten enrolled these former wastepickers in school. As of December 2022, our aid to these children has been very successful. All of the children are progressing through school and their academic performance has been commendable. The children have not returned to wastepicking in order to eat and earn a few cents, but have instead focused on their studies. Their guardians have been very supportive of the children's education and grateful for the aid. 27000 27000 0 Providing emergency health care services for Rohingya refugees and surrounding host communities in United Nations Refugee Camp, in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.

Furthermore, to ensure proper usage of funds, The Unforgotten field office makes most of the purchases, rather than give cash directly to the aid recipients (our aid recipients are the hungry children and their mothers that live in trash dumps). Our project staff visit our aid recipients weekly. Our project staff purchase meal supplements and deliver them personally. Our projects manager pays the school fees of the children. Our project staff purchases school supplies such as uniforms. Our projects manager visits with the school principal and teachers to ensure that the children we provide aid to are attending school regularly. Our projects managers visits the small businesses the mothers have established to monitor and provide guidance. Our in-country projects manager provides weekly field reports to the US Board of Directors. Directors from our Board visit project sites annually, to monitor usage of funds. All receipts are kept on a share drive (DropBox folders ). Every transaction (whether expense or donation) has an ID number, and records to document it. At the end of the fiscal year, all records and bank statements are reviewed by the Finance committee, and our financial statement is externally audited by a CPA. Each country supported by The Unforgotten has a separate checking account in the US and one inside the country. All transactions appear on those checking accounts. In each country The Unforgotten operates, we have filed with the government of that country to operate as a local charity. We operate locally as Unforgotten-Zambia, Unforgotten-Sierra Leone, Unforgotten-India, Unforgotten-Djibouti, Unforgotten-Nepal, Unforgotten-Bangladesh, Unforgotten-Yemen. Funds are transferred from US accounts to the country accounts. We maintain control over those funds at all times.

The identified conflicts of interest and appropriate recusals are documented in the minutes of each Board or Committee meeting.
