EdPowerment continues to provide all educational requirements, as well as personal needs, transport, medical and at times, family support for these students, most of whom now attend colleges and universities. EdPowerment works with all students and recent graduates on advanced computer and life skills during school breaks, and offers a transitional program of assistance to recent graduates as they seek employment. 31770 IN-COUNTRY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT: These expenses include our staff, who conduct all sponsorship supervision, seminars and other program services, and other required costs including office and resource room where students study and use computer and internet services, and petrol/van maintenance costs to transport staff and equipment to seminars, trainings and deliver food for the emergency drought relief program. 13416 SEMINARS, CLUBS AND OTHER COMMUNITY OUTREACH: In 2022 EdPowerment introduced a Secondary School Skills Program in two secondary schools that receive minimal government and parental support in villages of extraordinary economic hardship. Our goal is to inculcate positive behaviors at home and in the classroom that will produce better outcomes despite deprived environments. Seminars teach critical study skills; demonstrate best practice test-taking strategies, and otherwise promote a positive approach to learning. Saturday Boys and Girls Clubs engage students in sports, arts and games, while offering practical lessons in local income-producing agricultural, product-based, or service-based activities. EdPowerment also assisted the formation of two small Womens Business Groups in drought-stricken villages that now lack vegetation for planting and raising livestock. Each group of 20 women came together in a formal structure to begin a soap-making/marketing enterprise. EdPowerments seed money, sponsored formal training (with Moshi-based SIDO- Small Industries Development Organization), and financial/operational coaching will enable these women to build a sustainable business whose profits will help to feed and educate their children. Also In response to severe drought that has impacted specific villages in the districts where we assist secondary schools, EdPowerment undertook an EMERGENCY DROUGHT RELIEF FOOD PROGRAM in 2022. Working with authorities to identify families marked by severe malnutrition, EdPowerment began bi-monthly food deliveries to over 50 families facing potential starvation. 108902 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true false false false false false false false X X EDPOWERMENT 2017881088 6 PENDLETON ROAD MAHWAH NJ 07430 X JILLIAN SWINFORD DIRECTOR/SEC 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KERRI GILBERT DIRECTOR/VP 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CORINNE MCGOVERN DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STACEY LAUREN DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN CORBETT DIRECTOR/TREAS 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MOIRA MADONIA President 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 116359 116359 0 0 0 0 0 0 49506 49506 0 0 0 165865 0 0 0 0 0 0 21676 21676 0 0 0 0 0 3140 1799 1341 0 0 0 0 3118 3118 1799 1799 0 0 2358 2358 6073 3534 2539 0 0 0 0 0 0 TUITION/SPONSORSHIP 58425 58425 FOOD 8158 8158 FURNITURE/EQUIPMENT/REPAIRS 4550 4550 SUPPLIES 3172 3172 6658 3431 3227 119127 108902 10225 0 194200 240938 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 194200 240938 0 0 X 194200 240938 194200 240938 194200 240938 46738 X false false false X 338627 162095 199109 128929 116359 945119 0 0 338627 162095 199109 128929 116359 945119 0 945119 0 0 0 945119 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED TANZANIA 0 0 HIGHER-EDUCATION SPONSORSHIPS SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM 63716 TANZANIA 0 0 SEMINARS AND OTHER TRAININGS SUPPORT AND SPECIAL PROJECTS 5016 TANZANIA 0 0 DROUGHT FOOD RELIEF ASSISTANCE FOOD RELIEF ASSISTANCE 8400 77132 77132 false false false false false false X X false ONE MORE CAMPAIGN 41545 41545 41545 41545 41545 Form 990, Part III, Line 2 WE SHIFTED OUR FUNDING FROM THE NOW FORMER KIWOCE OPEN SCHOOL TO SOME OF THE POOREST PERFORMING, MINIMALLY SUPPORTED SECONDARY GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS AND OTHER COMMUNITY PROJECTS IN AREAS OF EXTREME POVERTY.
