DZI BEGINS BY CREATING A SHARED, INCLUSIVE VISION WITH THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND FORMING CRITICAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL NGOS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GROUPS. THE FIRST SEVERAL YEARS, COMMUNITIES FOCUS ON IMPROVING FOOD SECURITY AND BUILDING ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE, SUCH AS DRINKING WATER AND IRRIGATION SYSTEMS, BRIDGES, AND EARTHQUAKE-SAFE SCHOOLS, WHICH REMOVE THE BARRIERS TO PROGRESS AND HELP MEET BASIC NEEDS. THREE YEARS INTO THE PARTNERSHIP, QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVES THROUGH INCREASED ACCESS TO CASH AND CONSUMPTION OF HEALTHIER FOOD, AND THE ECONOMIC CONDITION OF THE COMMUNITY CHANGES AS 50% OF RESIDENTS ARE EARNING AND SPENDING MORE. INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE INCREASE IN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES ENCOURAGE YOUTH TO STAY IN THE VILLAGE. IN THE FINAL YEARS OF THE PARTNERSHIP, DZI COMMUNITIES ARE MORE UNIFIED, EARNING MORE INCOME, AND LEADING SAFER, MORE PRODUCTIVE, AND MORE CONNECTED LIVES. COMMUNITIES HAVE THE SKILLS AND SYSTEMS IN PLACE TO LEAD AND MAINTAIN THESE GAINS FOR A LASTING IMPACT. OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS, DZI HAS GROWN TO SERVE MORE THAN 44,000 PEOPLE IN AN EXPANDING NETWORK OF RURAL VILLAGES IN THE SOLUKHUMBU, KHOTANG, AND BHOJPUR DISTRICTS OF EASTERN NEPAL. 1465159 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 6 1 0 1 NP 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CO X X MICHELLE MONTAGUE 9706269765 565 SHERMAN ST 7 RIDGWAY CO 81432 BRENT BISHOP BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BHUMIKA PIYA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES DUCKWORTH PRESIDENT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 CHERYL JENSEN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KARIN LAPPING BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 EMILY MARTIN VP 2.00 X X 0 0 0 NICOLE SEAWELL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ABHAYA SHRESTHA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW NAMANNY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 AANCHAL TIWARI SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 HEIKE SOMMER TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KIM LEMME BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERNIE PATTERSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BOB FAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 WENDE VALENTINE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 129953 0 0 129953 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2092043 2092043 8436 8436 108010 97931 10079 10079 10079 2110558 0 0 18515 130398 71719 26080 32599 552989 307040 113577 132372 51389 20935 13962 16492 33995 3291 19549 11155 62585 50155 6215 6215 9564 1913 5738 1913 12529 11045 742 742 47848 32263 15585 15344 10991 2177 2176 14127 14127 12685 8612 1867 2206 COMMUNITY PROJECTS 909272 909272 MEDIA PRODUCTION 15585 13292 224 2069 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN 9549 8857 346 346 BANK AND CREDIT CARD FE 3425 1166 1130 1129 499 481 9 9 1881783 1465159 191616 225008 459910 283126 56712 420419 9120 9704 70635 14127 70635 56508 337063 369805 933440 1139562 101793 56477 101793 56477 X 210379 491773 621268 591312 831647 1083085 933440 1139562 228775 22663 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1299552 1681410 1524942 1995820 2092043 8593767 1299552 1681410 1524942 1995820 2092043 8593767 2699154 5894613 484 1536 3137 1994 8436 15587 8609354 0.68470 0.72560 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 70635 14127 56508 56508 X 2133221 22663 22663 2110558 0 2110558 1881783 0 1881783 0 1881783 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS ORGANIZED AS A COLORADO NONPROFIT CORPORATION AND HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE IRS AS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER IRC SECTION 501(A) AS AN ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN IRC SECTION 501(C)(3), QUALIFIES FOR THE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION DEDUCTION, AND HAS BEEN DETERMINED NOT TO BE A PRIVATE FOUNDATION.
