Our vision is to transform children with stolen futures into tomorrow's leaders. We believe that lasting change is made when loving individuals invest deeply into the life of each child to help them reach their potential and make a positive impact on their communities. 0 0 274921 5000 0 Child Sponsorship Program: Village2Village Project encircles orphaned and vulnerable children with love, dignity, accountability and hope through a team of caring staff, the child's extended family, and like minded friends. This love is combined with the commitment of a sponsor who provides them with letters of encouragement, nutritious meals, needed medical care and an excellent education. We build relationships with children and families one at a time - seeing them as individuals with the untapped potential to change their communities. The children served are from Serere, Uganda; a northeastern district of rural villages which has the lowest achievement scores on primary standardized testing in the nation. Village2Village Project has two campuses in different subcounties in Serere, which has a population of 350,000. Our program serves more than 250 children and young adults from preschool through University level, providing social and spiritual mentoring and daily casework support in an effort to transform children with stolen futures into leaders. Village2Village Project also builds the capacity of their guardians to provide and care for them and for the other children in their care. Village2Village Project children do not live in an orphanage. The sponsor, the V2V staff and the extended families who shelter and guide the children are all partners in this care and become a community that changes lives. 105739 0 0 Emerging Leaders Program: Students that complete secondary school at the ordinary or advanced level are able to apply for professional or university studies. Caseworkers visit, monitor and support these students, quarterly gatherings are arranged and they have an annual campout. The university students also help with the primary and secondary program during school breaks, and an effort is made to give them projects that relate to their course of study. These students are encouraged also to be involved in charitable projects that serve the wider community. 42296 0 0 HOPE Ministry/Guardian Support Program: Village2Village Project provides essential medical care, nutritional support and counseling for seriously ill parents and grandparents of our sponsored children, and helps more than 1,700 children avoid the loss of yet another beloved caregiver. V2V guardians' groups also provide business and agricultural training, group agricultural projects, child care discussions and micro-loans savings circles that help lift entire families to a more secure level. Guardians meetings are held monthly, and guardians' groups meet autonomously as often as they wish to work on projects. Guardians also receive casework support when they are having difficulty with a child or any other family issue. Home visits are conducted with and without the sponsored child present. In emergency decisions, the staff works with the child's entire clan. For those children with special medical needs, including HIV/AIDS, specialists are accessed, medication is monitored and every effort is made for the child to live as healthy and normal a life as possible. In times of crisis, such as flood, famine, or a global pandemic, the organization provides emergency items for the entire family. 0 0 0 422956 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 IN X X Katie Greiwe 3179952225 12175 Visionary Way Ste 106 Fishers IN 46038 Laura Kroll Executive Director 50 0 X X 90017 0 9073 Nicole Marin Board Chair 4 0 X X 0 0 0 Majorie Overhiser Vice Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Catherine Caum Treasurer 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Annabel Henley Board Member 15 0 X 0 0 0 Ruud Zijdel Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Steve Seipke Board Member 2 X 0 0 0 90017 0 9073 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 503910 0 503910 0 1407 1407 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 505317 1407 0 0 0 0 0 0 264949 264949 0 0 90017 72013 9002 9002 0 0 0 0 66310 40086 25924 300 21676 15526 4889 1261 0 0 0 0 11845 8485 2672 688 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8329 5676 2653 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9000 4500 3600 900 5949 5949 0 0 0 0 0 0 3843 0 1153 2690 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2795 699 2096 0 24283 5073 16735 2475 508996 422956 68724 17316 99124 94785 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 99124 94785 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 97144 93465 1980 1320 99124 94785 99124 94785 X -3679 0 0 0 0 -660 X 0 0 0 X X 1 Village2Village Limited (Uganda NGO) 000000000 10 1 264949 0 1 264949 0 341148 362972 382817 506402 503910 2097249 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 341148 362972 382817 506402 503910 2097249 179398 1917851 0 0 0 0 1407 1407 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2098656 0 0.91385 0.96046 X 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 X 1 0 Schedule A, Part IV, Section A, Line 2 Our supported organization in Uganda, Village2Village Limited, has been a registered Ugandan NGO since 2006.
