WE BELIEVE THAT THE MOST SUSTAINABLE CHANGE IS MADE WHEN FAMILIES ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE NECESSARY TOOLS AND SKILLS TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES TO THEIR OWN CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY HELPING FAMILIES BUILD A FOUNDATION FOR A HEALTHIER LIFE AND CREATING JOB OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL MAKE A LASTING IMPACT. EDUCATION - NOT ONLY PROVIDES INDIVIDUALS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE THEIR IMMEDIATE CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT IT ALSO HELPS THEM TO PREPARE FOR A MORE SELF-SUFFICIENT FUTURE. 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. 0 85542 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. 0 43201 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. 0 39656 OTHER: MISSION TEAMS 0 13376 181775 ZACH HOWARD PRESIDENT 40 18600 0 0 BRONTE HOWARD EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40 17400 0 0 AMY BURTON SECRETARY 5 0 0 0 BILL BABSON TREASURER 5 0 0 0 CHRIS SIMMS BOARD MEMBER 5 0 0 0 LEE KING CHAIR 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NC SC EASY OFFICE DBA JITASA 1120 S RACKHAM WAY SUITE 300 MERIDIAN ID 83642 7049994739 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 54962 99914 143946 302207 169865 770894 54962 99914 143946 302207 169865 770894 14140 25062 198707 68355 306264 0 14140 25062 198707 68355 306264 464630 3 3 5 14 25 3 3 5 14 0 25 12 12 54965 99917 143951 302221 169877 770931 0.60269 0.6041 0.00003 0 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 OTHER INCOME RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT 22725 19625 3100 0 0 7000 2611 0 1650 0 0 22725 19625 3100 0 0 7000 2611 0 1650 11261 -8161 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 OTHER REVENUE Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^PROGRAM EXPENSES;38856|TRAVEL AND MEETING EXPENSES;34603|OFFICE EXPENSES;8566|BANK AND MERCHANT FEES;5480|INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY;4189|DEPRECIATION EXPENSES;3947|ADVERTISING EXPENSES;1187|INSURANCE;1120^Total;97948^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Description;Amount^PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT;5910^Total;5910^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^VEHICLE NET FIXED ASSET;10263^Total;10263^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^ACCOUNTS PAYABLE;420^Total;420^
