In the sectors of Gahanga, Gashora and Rilima we reached more than 22,332 people with access to clean water. We provided in-depth health and hygiene training and household filter systems to 1,377 families, built and distributed 7 community filters to schools and health clinics, and constructed 11 rainwater harvesting systems in local churches. Our volunteers in Rwanda also visited 4,486 families that have previously received filters to reinforce health & hygiene behaviors and ensure their filters are still working. In the US we utilized 576 volunteers to assemble more than 12,000 filters for use in Rwanda and by partner agencies in over 60 developing countries. 263923 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false 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 true 2 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false true false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false CA MI X X X Christopher Kragt 6164063928 3501 Fairlanes Ave SW Grandville MI 49418 Andrew VanTimmeren Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Gentry Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Clementine Sikiri Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Abdi Osman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ryan Priesner Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jon Propper Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Zwyghuizen President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sue Hulst Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Hilary Smith Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Heather VanDyke-Titus Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Kragt Co-Director 45.00 0.00 X 41940 0 11567 Amanda Mulder Co-Director 45.00 0.00 X 43463 0 11597 85403 0 23164 0 false false false 356026 356026 13 13 356039 13 0 0 13000 13000 122025 122025 116042 50767 29012 36263 1213 531 303 379 7915 3462 1979 2474 13245 13245 160 80 80 2060 1030 1030 6109 6109 8441 4146 314 3981 1926 1222 352 352 276 138 138 683 683 5958 2979 2979 2203 964 551 688 Filters and Shipping 63717 63717 364973 263923 52766 48284 63053 40343 7066 29079 252 2818 536 8441 2483 8854 90232 72693 7071 7213 8747 15818 7213 X 74414 65480 74414 65480 90232 72693 -8934 0 X true X false true false X 366388 271652 399586 350118 356026 1743770 366388 271652 399586 350118 356026 1743770 235395 1508375 619 230 58 8 13 928 174 7 181 1744879 22256 0.86450 0.91480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true Sub-Saharan Africa Grant making Filter installedu 122025 122025 122025 Sub-Saharan Africa H2O Filters Education Maintenance 122025 wire false false false false false false Use of grant monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) The organization holds bi-weekly program related conversations and receives monthly written reports from the grant recipient.
