THIS YEAR, BECAUSE OF TROPICAL CYCLONE FREDDY IN EARLY MARCH, WE FOCUSED ON DISASTER RESPONSE EFFORTS TO COMMUNITIES. THIS INCLUDED THE DISTRIBUTION OF WATER AND HYGIENE SUPPLIES SUCH AS: WATER FILTERS, WATER STORAGE BUCKETS, BUCKETS WITH TAPS, PLASTIC HAND WASHING BASINS, AQUATABS, CHLORINE, AND MULTI-PURPOSE SOAP TABLETS. ADDITIONALLY, THEY INSTALLED ONE WELL AT MAGOMBO VILLAGE IN MBETA. 105904 WASH IN SCHOOLS: MANY SCHOOLS IN MALAWI LACK ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER AND SAFE SANITATION. STUDENTS AND TEACHERS MUST FETCH WATER FROM UNPROTECTED SOURCES THAT ARE OFTEN CONTAMINATED AND OFTEN ARE FORCED TO RELIEVE THEMSELVES IN THE BUSH. THIS EXPOSES THEM TO UNHYGIENIC PRACTICES AND OFTEN RESULTS IN WATER-RELATED DISEASE THAT IMPACTS THEIR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN GIRLS REACH THE AGE OF PUBERTY, THEY OFTEN DROP OUT OF SCHOOL FOR LACK OF PRIVACY IN MENSTRUAL HYGIENE MANAGEMENT. THIS YEAR, THE ORGANIZATION UPGRADED WASH SYSTEMS AT FIVE SCHOOLS IN MALAWI. 380728 WASH IN HEALTH CENTERS: WHEN A HEALTH CENTER LACKS ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS TO PROVIDE HYGIENIC, SAFE CARE TO THEIR PATIENTS, MUCH TIME IS WASTED, AND SERVICES ARE OFTEN DELAYED. IN ZOMBA DISTRICT, THE ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS UPGRADED WASH SYSTEMS AT 100% OF THE GOVERNMENT HEALTH CENTERS. 513108 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 3 0 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 4 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false false false false X X HEIDI RICKELS 3033587747 1348 WHITEFISH VILLAGE DR WHITEFISH MT 59937 HEIDI RICKELS BOARD CHAIR/ 30.00 X X 25900 0 0 PHILIP WOLSTENHOLME DIRECTOR 10.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID HARTLEY TREASURER 10.00 X X 0 0 0 KATE ASHLEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 25900 false false false 511598 511598 22689 16413 6276 517874 25900 15540 10360 1750 1750 464 464 49070 29990 19080 4297 4297 2231 2231 8550 8550 38353 23012 15341 9171 9171 1759 1759 PROGRAM EXPENSES 331240 331240 PROJECT MATERIALS 79464 79464 MEETING EXPENSES 15914 15914 OTHER PROJECT EXPENSE 9801 9801 11841 8147 3694 589805 513108 76697 0 104964 30929 390 390 105354 31319 0 0 X 105354 31319 105354 31319 105354 31319 -71931 -2104 X false false false X 154777 285745 348443 443179 511598 1743742 310 3376 22689 26375 155087 289121 348443 443179 534287 1770117 2450 3080 72000 19100 10000 106630 2450 3080 72000 19100 10000 106630 1663487 155087 289121 348443 443179 534287 1770117 0.93980 0.92020 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA 1 4 PROGRAM SERVICES WATER & SANITATION 317600 1 4 1 4 317600 317600 false false false false false false SCHEDULE F, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 3 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA 317,600 0 SCHEDULE F, PAGE 5, PART V IN 2024 FRESHWATER PROJECT INTERNATIONAL HAD 3 EMPLOYEES IN MALAWI, TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR THOSE 3 EMPLOYEES WERE 45,477.
