EDUCATION IS THE BASIS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANY SOCIETY. IN EXTREMELY IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR STUDENTS TO RECEIVE A QUALITY EDUCATION. SCHOOLS ARE UNDERFUNDED, CLASSROOMS ARE OVERCROWDED, AND TEACHERS HAVE LITTLE SUPPORT OR AWARENESS OF THEIR STUDENTS' EDUCATIONAL LEVELS. TO COMBAT THIS, WE PARTNER WITH SCHOOLS IN REMOTE VILLAGES ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF IQUITOS THAT HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES. THROUGH OUR EDUCATION PROGRAM, STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, AND NUTRIENT-PACKED MEALS. THROUGH INTENTIONAL LESSONS, A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT, INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION, AND A HEALTHY MEAL AT THE END OF EACH SESSION, THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND OVERALL ATTITUDE TOWARDS LEARNING, AS WELL AS ENSURE THAT EACH CHILD IS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE A QUALITY EDUCATION. 34992 0 0 MEDICAL CARE PROGRAM - IN ORDER TO CREATE TRULY SUSTAINABLE CHANGE, EACH FAMILY'S MEDICAL NEEDS MUST BE ADDRESSED AND SUPPORTED. DUE TO THE EXTREME POVERTY THROUGHOUT THE CITY, MANY FAMILIES HAVE DIFFICULTY MEETING THEIR MOST BASIC MEDICAL NEEDS. IN MOST CASES, MEDICAL CARE IS VIEWED AS A LUXURY, NOT A NECESSITY. IN ORDER TO COMBAT THIS REALITY, WE WORK HARD TO ADDRESS AND MEET THE IMMEDIATE MEDICAL NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS IN OUR EDUCATION PROGRAM AS WELL AS THEIR FAMILIES. THIS INCLUDES BASIC HYGIENE EDUCATION, PHYSICALS, MEDICAL EVALUATIONS, AND ACCESS TO DIRE TREATMENTS AND OPERATIONS. 31400 0 0 CAREER DEVELOPMENT - ONE OF THE KEY FACTORS IN CREATING LASTING CHANGE IN AN IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITY IS TO EMPOWER FAMILIES TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE CAREERS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN EXTREME POVERTY ARE NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN A CAREER PATH. THIS IS A RESULT OF THE LACK OF QUALITY EDUCATION, AS WELL AS A SCARCITY OF EMPLOYMENT RESOURCES. IN ORDER TO CREATE TRULY SUSTAINABLE CHANGE AND ULTIMATELY TAKE STRIDES TOWARD POVERTY ALLEVIATION, WE PARTNER WITH FAMILIES BY EDUCATING AND EQUIPPING THEM TO START THEIR OWN SMALL BUSINESS. THROUGH STRONG FAMILIES, OUR FOUR-PHASE PROGRAM TO EMPOWERMENT, WE EDUCATE AND TRAIN THE FAMILY, WHILE CURATING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE UNIQUELY ALIGNED TO THEM. AFTER A FAMILY HAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE PROGRAM, REGULAR CHECK-INS AND ONGOING MENTORSHIP ARE PROVIDED. THE FOUR PHASES OF THIS PROGRAM INCLUDE AN INITIAL FAMILY ASSESSMENT, A FAMILY DEVELOPMENT COURSE, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT TRAINING, AND LASTLY, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THEIR BUSINESS AND ONGOING MENTORSHIP. 3131 0 0 OTHER: MISSION TEAMS 3131 0 0 140673 1 1 0 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 NC SC X X EASY OFFICE DBA JITASA 7049994739 1120 S RACKHAM WAY SUITE 300 MERIDIAN ID 83642 ZACH HOWARD PRESIDENT 40 X 16200 0 0 BRONTE HOWARD EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40 X 15000 0 0 AMY BURTON SECRETARY 5 X X 0 0 0 BILL BABSON TREASURER 5 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS SIMMS BOARD MEMBER 5 X 0 0 0 LEE KING CHAIR 5 X X 0 0 0 31200 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13795 0 0 288413 0 302208 0 14 0 0 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2584 13795 5470 -2886 0 -2886 0 299336 0 0 -2872 X 31200 25101 5478 621 17816 14334 3128 354 4507 3065 1367 75 1808 253 1555 6490 6490 34127 33326 801 8216 270 5334 2612 36825 28388 4810 3627 100 100 4440 4353 87 34598 31471 458 2669 960 54 906 BANK AND MERCHANT FEES 9272 58 9214 0 190359 140673 39728 9958 87049 160935 34180 87049 195115 2968 0 2968 X 87049 192147 0 0 87049 192147 87049 195115 108977 0 0 0 -3879 0 X 0 0 0 X 54962 99914 143946 290996 589818 0 54962 99914 143946 290996 589818 14140 25062 198707 237909 0 0 14140 25062 198707 237909 351909 3 3 5 14 25 0 3 3 5 14 25 0 54965 99917 143951 291010 589843 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED TRIVIA NIGHT 16379 13795 2584 0 0 500 2650 0 2320 0 0 16379 13795 2584 0 0 500 2650 0 2320 5470 -2886 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 ZACH AND BRONTE HOWARD ARE MARRIED.
