In 2024, we provided 2,563 medical procedures for orphaned and impoverished children, including 107 life-saving heart surgeries. Two additional highlights included our international cleft trip to Antigua, Guatemala, where 52 children had life-changing cleft lip and palate surgery, as well as our Uganda Pediatric Surgery Camps, which provided operations for 928 children who had waited months, and even years, for the medical care they needed. 801629 Foster Care:All children should grow up in families, not institutions. LWB continued our transformative foster care programs in 2024, including our Safe Haven program for children who have been trafficked or severely abused. This year, 312 children found love and support in LWB foster homes around the world. A special highlight this year includes the expansion of foster care to Mbale, Uganda. In addition, LWB published our international foster care guide and held successful foster care conferences in Uganda, Cambodia, India, and Guatemala. 631997 Education:From our nationally recognized primary schools in Cambodia to our new Tob'Anik Believe in Me center in Guatemala, LWB's Education program helped 1,296 children have access to learning in 2024. One special highlight of the year was celebrating 46 students in rural Cambodia who became first-generation university graduates. 409787 Nutrition:LWB continued our work fighting childhood hunger in 2024, serving over 253,000 hot meals to impoverished children in our school programs. An additional 4,320 vulnerable families were given supplemental food support, helping over 16,000 children have access to safe, sufficient food. As a sustainable source of protein, egg-laying chickens were provided to 450 children in Guatemala. 162701 Healing Homes: LWB's Healing Homes program was created to help children who are orphaned or abandoned. In March of 2024, after almost 20 years of service, we were notified that our healing home in China would need to close, as children were recalled to their home orphanages. In total, over 600 children received care through this life-changing program. In India, we provided care for 20 children with HIV in 2024. Special Projects:Over 9,800 children were impacted by one-time special projects in 2024, including the delivery of wheelchairs, new shoes, and warm winter clothing. Because access to clean water is such an essential part of child health, filters, wells, and water tanks were provided to 2,400 children in India, Uganda, Cambodia, and Guatemala. Family Strengthening:LWB continually strives to build family resilience in the regions where we work. This year, we helped 28 children from our foster care program have safe and healthy reunifications with their biological families. Additionally, 101 children received surgery through our China Unity program for desperate families unable to afford medical care. We also provided safe housing to eight at-risk families and launched economic empowerment courses for foster families in Uganda. 572488 3167298 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 15 true false true OC false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 15 13 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false FL X X X SHERI RUSSON 4052165837 7901 4TH STREET N SUITE 8144 SAINT PETERSBURG FL 33702 X DORIS ACHEME Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER LABAHN MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DON WHITE Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAN ELLSBURY MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LISA ELLSBURY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALISA CHAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALAN DAHL Chairman 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARLA LOUIE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOANNE OWYANG Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHARLIE GUO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT SPIRES VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 WILLIAM MESSERSCHMIDT MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMISHA PATEL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PIM BHUT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEAN GABARRA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 54336 3192984 70331 3247320 0 77772 77772 0 0 0 5460 -5460 -5460 -5460 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 2000 2000 2000 3321632 74312 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 713566 448193 92348 173025 29050 18645 4764 5641 0 51192 30601 7300 13291 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22016 22016 43205 20427 7987 14791 0 0 0 288846 250801 22089 15956 0 0 0 0 61079 6335 54744 57142 34884 22258 COUNTRIES STAFF 824713 824713 MEDICAL 436656 436656 NUTRITION 250973 250973 PROGRAM 165074 165074 799705 679996 77997 41712 3743217 3167298 289487 286432 465758 398749 2256289 2037063 0 0 0 0 0 0 102081 5273 532058 164217 388023 367841 0 0 0 0 0 3212151 2808926 2710 2710 0 X 1482664 1065833 1726777 1743093 3209441 2808926 3212151 2808926 -421585 21070 X false true X true false X 2911663 3798439 3324253 3413368 3247320 16695043 93206 4468 19 97693 0 0 0 3004869 3802907 3324272 3413368 3247320 16792736 603339 1100211 1099343 1568844 1475455 5847192 0 603339 1100211 1099343 1568844 1475455 5847192 10945544 16552 6710 11908 120471 77772 233413 0 16552 6710 11908 120471 77772 233413 0 0 3021421 3809617 3336180 3533839 3325092 17026149 0.64290 0.69530 0.01370 0.00370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 113200 113200 2995 900 2095 157623 38555 119068 236428 102950 133478 21812 21812 367841 3412674 21070 69972 91042 3321632 3321632 3813189 69972 69972 3743217 3743217 CHINA 0 4 PROGRAM SERVICES SEE FORM 990 PART III LINE 4 424117 CAMBODIA 0 69 PROGRAM SERVICES SEE FORM 990 PART III LINE 4 733843 UGANDA 0 25 PROGRAM SERVICES SEE FORM 990 PART III LINE 4 720549 INDIA 0 1 PROGRAM SERVICES SEE FORM 990 PART III LINE 4 325444 GUATEMALA 0 17 PROGRAM SERVICES SEE FORM 990 PART III LINE 4 454943 ETHIOPIA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES SEE FORM 990 PART III LINE 4 9613 VIETNAM 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES SEE FORM 990 PART III LINE 4 200 116 116 2668709 2668709 false false false false false false X ADVERTISING SERVICES 1 66322 FAIR VALUE SCHOOL SUPPLIES 1 500 FAIR VALUE FOOD PACKAGES 800 600 FAIR VALUE IBUPROFEN 1 218 FAIR VALUE GIFT PACKAGES 420 1680 FAIR VALUE GIFT PACKAGES 1 300 FAIR VALUE TRAVEL 2 711 FAIR VALUE false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 FAMILY MEMBERS - DAN AND LISA ELLSBURY Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b GOVERNING BODY WILL REVIEW FORM 990.
