      <ActivityOrMissionDesc>Partners for Better Futures (PBF) helps improve the lives of poor people around the world, primarily focusing on children and education. PBF does this by partnering with local organizations that are deeply involved in their own communities, and participating in carefully evaluated projects and programs. There are three programs within PBF: Build a School in Burma (BSB), Build a School in India (BSI), and APC School - Philippines (APC). Prior to the PBF's founding these programs had each operated for several years through "fiscal sponsors." In 2018 these operations joined together in a shared purpose, to help produce better futures for under-served people around the world.</ActivityOrMissionDesc>

      <Desc>The "Build a School in Burma" (BSB) program makes grants to support construction of school buildings in Myanmar. These grants have been fewer since the Febuary 2021 coup, which upended much of the country. This year BSB also supported education for Myanmar refugees, by making grants for construction of "Community Learning Centers" in bordering countries, primarily Thailand. BSB also provided help to schools that needed new furniture and sanitary facilities to support growing enrollments, and helped repair existing buildings. Overall, BSB has worked to provide safe, secure learning environments for students in poor, underserved communities, including refugees.</Desc>

A badly needed new building was completed, and provides a safe learning environment for 150 children in Myanmar. The new school building eliminates risks posed by termite-damaged columns, cracked flooring, and water leakage. Students and teachers have a structurally sound and hazard-free classroom space. With a properly constructed facility that prevents rainwater intrusion, lessons no longerneed to stop during rainfall. This ensures consistent teaching and improved learning outcomes for the two grade groups and Kaw Saw Naw students. The removal of damaged flooring and infestation-prone areas will reduce exposure to harmful insects and unsafe conditions, creating a healthier environment for all students.</PurposeOfGrantTxt>

The existing wooden school building, measuring 60 by 25 feet, currently accommodates a large number of students without any internal classroom partitions. For the current academic year, a total of 156 students from nursery through Grade 8 are attending the school. The teaching staff consists of 11 trained educators serving under a regional faith-based education ministry, all of whom relocated to the village from a major delta region in the country. Because of the central village's critical, highly accessible location relative to other settlements, it naturally serves as an educational hub.The local ethnic education department plans to upgrade the facility into a formal middle school, provided that adequate school infrastructure can be secured. This grant provided new buildings and renovated existing buildings, to provide a safe learning environment for students.</PurposeOfGrantTxt>

        <PurposeOfGrantTxt>Karen State, Burma Primary School, this grant funded the construction and furnishing of a new primary educational facility serving approximately 100 rural students (Nursery to Grade 6). Due to regional instability, a high number of displaced families rely on the local center. Prior to the project, severe termite infestation had structural columns in a dangerous, irrreparable state, forcing students into makeshift auxiliary spaces built without proper flooring or walls, relying instead on temporary plastic sheeting for protection. The grant successfully mitigated these safety risks by constructing a new 144-square-meter, three-classroom school building. The finished structure features a brick foundation, stable concrete floors, metal hollow columns, weather-resistant ceilings, and secure brick and concrete board classroom partitions. The project also completely furnished the new learning spaces with 40 durable student desk sets, 3 teacher desk sets, and 3 instructional whiteboards.</PurposeOfGrantTxt>

        <PurposeOfGrantTxt>Refugee Camp high school, a grant that successfully upgraded critical educational furniture and sanitation infrastructure at a high school in Tak Province, Thailand, directly benefiting 520 students (Grades 1 to 12). Escalating regional instability and forced displacement had caused an influx of new families into the camp, resulting in a severe strain on educational infrastructure. Prior to the project, students used deteriorated bamboo furniture that required constant repair, and the school's limited latrines were structurally compromised and non-functional, creating major health and retention risks for secondary students. The grant fully resolved these facility shortages. It supplied and installed 135 durable, integrated student desk and bench sets (serving 270 middle and high school students), 10 teacher desk and chair sets, and 10 large instructional whiteboards. Additionally, the project constructed a new four-room gender-segregated latrine block.</PurposeOfGrantTxt>

        <PurposeOfGrantTxt>Migrant Learning Center sanitation and facilities upgrades, this grant successfully upgraded critical facilities at an established learning center serving approximately 50 Myanmar migrant children in Chonburi Province, Thailand. Prior to the project, the center's ten-year-old facilities were severely deteriorated; an overflowing latrine located adjacent to the kitchen created an unhygienic environment, hazardous odors, and major food safety concerns during the rainy season. Furthermore, a severe shortage of proper classroom furniture forced young students to sit on the floor during lessons and meal times. The grant fully resolved these health and environmental issues by constructing a new, separate two-room latrine block with an engineered drainage system at the rear of the campus. It also funded the construction of a spacious, standalone 28-square-meter kitchen facility to ensure safe, hygienic food preparation, and provided 20 durable student desk and chair sets,</PurposeOfGrantTxt>

        <PurposeOfGrantTxt>Sagaing Burma nunnery preschools disaster assistance, this grant funded emergency earthquake recovery and educational reconstruction across five vulnerable monastic nunnery schools in a disaster-affected region of Myanmar. Following a catastrophic earthquake that entirely collapsed existing reinforced concrete facilities, this project restored safe, secure housing and classroom spaces for highly vulnerable student populations, including internally displaced children from neighboring conflict zones. For the primary site, the project financed the construction of an 18-foot by 24-foot, two-story wooden and brick facility built on a salvaged foundation, directly benefiting approximately 58 young students. For four additional impacted partner schools, the grant funded the construction of small, durable lightweight steel-structure residential shelters. This initiative successfully restored immediate access to compulsory basic education and provided safe, climate-protected sanctuaries.</PurposeOfGrantTxt>

Severe seismic activity had completely leveled the institution's primary brick facility, leaving 81 vulnerable primary students (Kindergarten through Grade 6) to study in an unsafe, open-air pavilion exposed to rain, wind, and low temperatures. The grant successfully restored a secure learning environment by constructing a new, one-story lightweight steel structure measuring 70 feet by 30 feet. Built on a durable brick foundation and plinth, the finished facility features three weather-protected classrooms, a six-foot wide front corridor, and an integrated administrative office space. The completed structure is designed for multi-purpose utility, serving as stable, daylight classrooms and as an evening shelter for the residential orphans.</PurposeOfGrantTxt>

Political instability in the region had caused an influx of families to the border area, doubling enrollment and leaving the previous facility overcrowded. Furthermore, the old site was situated on low-lying ground and suffered severe, chronic flooding that repeatedly halted classes and destroyed resources. To secure an uninterrupted education, the school was successfully moved to a higher-ground, flood-free plot. The grant fully delivered a new 280-square-meter steel-frame structure partitioned into 5 ventilated classrooms with concrete flooring. It also completed a new 4-room gender-segregated latrine block and fully equipped the space with 40 student desk sets, 5 teacher desk sets, and essential learning supplies.</PurposeOfGrantTxt>

To optimize resources, the new latrines were built on the existing footprint with upgraded, deep-pit septic tanks. Two rooms were equipped with specialized shower fixtures to serve the orphaned children residing in the onsite dormitory. Supported by local volunteer labor from the migrant community for demolition and site clearance, the project successfully delivered a safe, dignified, and hygienic learning environment.</PurposeOfGrantTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Organization's procedures for monitoring the use of grant funds outside the United States:Grant proposals are received from outside organizations, and are reviewed by PBF board members. Review criteria include: Does the purpose fit our mission? Is there a true need? Has the grantee shown competency and integrity? Are funds available? And is the budget reasonable? PBF uses an information system, "Slack", to record and make available to board members and other key persons certain documents, that facilitate and support pre-approvals of grants, and support follow-up on both active and completed grants. Included documents include proposals, grant documents, budgets, funding records, reports, and in most cases photos (particularly for construction, renovations, school furniture.) Grants are only made once board members are satisfied that all criteria have been met. Following that, grant fund payments are generally made in tranches, subject to satisfactory progress and reporting. Prospective grantees in India must also meet India's strict Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) which is India's law regulating foreign monetary donations to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and individuals. The FCRA restricts the NGO's admin expenses to 20% of total, restricts the types of activities it can perform, prohibits sub-granting, mandates use of a specific bank, and bans certain entities. PBF verifies and monitors prospective grantees compliance with the FCRA. Grants in Burma and Thailand are generally for construction of new school buildings, or renovation or improvements to existing buildings. PBF's Country Manager meets with the grantee leaders and school committees before grants are made. During the period of the grant, PBF's Country Manager generally oversees construction, and controls and disburses funds. In a few cases, the Country Director oversees disbursements through a local representative of grantees. During the grant period PBF receives progress photos, and after completion receives photos evidencing the successful completion of the grant project. Regarding the school in the Philippines that receives grants from PBF, the Apu Palaunguang Cultural Center School (APCCS), APC Educational Center is a registered non-stock, non-profit corporation under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, and is formally recognized by the Philippine Department of Education as an Indigenous Peoples Education (IPEd) school. PBF regularly receives and reviews detailed reports from the school. A PBF board member closely monitors the APC schools activities and its use of PBF's grant fund. For all grants, PBF board members review progress reports and reports after completion. After grants are completed, PBf request the return of unspent funds, if any.</ExplanationTxt>
