WORKING TOGETHER, WE INVEST IN THE LIVES OF CHIDLREN AND YOUTH, BUILD THE HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS THEY NEED TO THRIVE, AND EMPOWER THEM TO CREATE LASTING CHANGE IN THEIR OWN LIVES AND COMMUNITIES. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS LINE 4A ------- CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL CREATES PERSONAL, TRANSFORMATIVE AND IMPACTFUL RELATIONSHIPS AND OFFERS SUPPORTERS A WAY TO INVEST IN THE HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT OF A CHILD WITH THE ULTIMATE FOCUS ON EMPLOYABILITY TO HELP ITS GRADUATES BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY. THIS IS DONE THROUGH LOCALLY STAFFED COMMUNITY CENTERS AND VOLUNTEERS. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL HAS SET FORTH A VISION OF BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER TO END POVERTY FOR GOOD. THE ORGANIZATIONS GOAL IS TO ERADICATE POVERTY IN THE LIFE OF EVERY CHILD AND PERSON INVOLVED WITH CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL. THE ORGANIZATION CONNECTS PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, FACILITATING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS AND PARTNERSHIPS ACROSS SOCIOECONOMIC AND CULTURAL BOUNDARIES. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL BELIEVES EVERYONE SHARES THIS BASIC HUMAN RIGHT: TO LIVE FREE FROM POVERTY FOR GOOD. ITS APPROACH TO ACHIEVING THIS VISION IS FOCUSED ON FIVE SPECIFIC CORE AREAS: EXHIBITING HEALTHY BEHAVIORS, USING HEALTH SERVICES, INCREASING EDUCATION, BECOMING EMPOWERED THROUGH LIFE SKILLS AND BECOMING EMPLOYED. THROUGH ITS PROGRAMS, THE ORGANIZATION STRATEGICALLY PROVIDES THE SERVICES, TRAINING AND OPPORTUNITIES CHILDREN AND YOUTH NEED TO BECOME PRODUCTIVE ADULTS. USING HEALTH SERVICES CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL HELPS CHILDREN AND YOUTH BUILD A FOUNDATION FOR A BETTER FUTURE - AND THAT STARTS WITH GOOD HEALTH. THUS, ITS PROGRAMS PROMOTE USING HEALTH SERVICES SUCH AS GOING TO THE DOCTOR AND DENTIST, PREVENTING AND TREATING DISEASE AND ILLNESS, AND CONNECTING CHILDREN WITH OTHER MUCH-NEEDED MEDICAL RESOURCES. SUPPLEMENTING ITS HEALTH INITIATIVES IS ITS NUTRITION REHABILITATION PROGRAM. THIS APPROACH TARGETS UNDERNOURISHED CHILDREN AGES 3-11, THROUGH AN INTENSIVE NUTRITION REHABILITATION PROGRAM. CHILDREN WHO ARE MODERATELY OR SEVERELY UNDERNOURISHED ARE ENROLLED IN A FEEDING PROGRAM TO FACILITATE RAPID IMPROVEMENTS IN HEALTH AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS. PARENTS AND OTHER CAREGIVERS ARE ENROLLED IN A NUTRITION EDUCATION PROGRAM AND RECEIVE INSTRUCTION ON THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF LOCALLY AVAILABLE FOODS, LOW-COST MEAL PREPARATION AND PREVENTION OF MALNUTRITION THROUGH PROPER CARE OF SICK CHILDREN. CHILDREN WILL STAY IN THE PROGRAM FOR AT LEAST TWO MONTHS OR UNTIL THEY HAVE SUSTAINED IMPROVEMENT OR HAVE RETURNED TO NORMAL WEIGHT. EXHIBITING HEALTHY BEHAVIORS COMMON CHILDHOOD ILLNESSES SUCH AS RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS AND DIARRHEA ARE OFTEN PREVENTABLE THROUGH TEACHING HEALTHY BEHAVIORS. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL HAS PROGRAMS WHICH COVER HEALTHY BEHAVIORS SUCH AS HANDWASHING, ORAL HIYGIENE, RESILIENT BEHAVIORS AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH TOPICS. THE ADOLESCENT HEALTH PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF ADOLESCENTS BY PROVIDING ACCURATE, COMPREHENSIVE INFORMATION ON THE TOPICS OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS. YOUTH ARE ENGAGED IN THE PROGRAM THROUGH INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS CONDUCTED BY CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL STAFF AND YOUTH CO-FACILITATORS. THE PROGRAM FOCUSES ON PROMOTING PREVENTIVE HEALTH BEHAVIOR RELATED TO SAFE SEX, CONTRACEPTIVE CHOICES, PREGNANCY PREVENTION AND DEALING WITH PEER PRESSURE IN THE CASE OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE. THIS PROGRAM INCORPORATES LIFE SKILLS, GIVING YOUTH CONFIDENCE AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE HEALTHY SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE CHOICES. INCREASING EDUCATION DEPENDING ON LOCAL NEEDS, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATES A VARIETY OF TECHNIQUES TO SUPPORT CHILDREN'S EDUCATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, IN AREAS WHERE ACCESS TO BOOKS AND QUALITY EDUCATION IS LIMITED, IT PROVIDES LIBRARIES AND TUTORING PROGRAMS. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL PROVIDES A VARIETY OF ASSISTANCE TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH TO SUPPORT ENROLLMENT AND COMPLETION OF SCHOOL. BASED ON THE GREATEST NEEDS OF FAMILIES IN SPECIFIC LOCATIONS, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL PROVIDES ASSISTANCE SUCH AS SCHOOL UNIFORMS, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, SCHOOL FEES, TUITION AND TRANSPORTATION COSTS. AS YOUTH PROGRESS THROUGH SECONDARY SCHOOL, SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABE TO SUPPORT THE INCREASED EDUCATION COSTS OF UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL. BECOMING EMPOWERED CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY OFTEN LACK THE SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT AND CARING ADULTS TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE THEIR FORMATIVE DEVELOPMENT YEARS. THIS OFTEN RESULTS IN YOUTH WHO LACK IMPORTANT LIFE SKILS SUCH AS COMMUNICATION, TEAMWORK AND THE ABILITY TO MANAGE STRESS. CHILDREN INTERNATIONALS EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMS FOCUS ON TEACHING LIFE SKILLS THROUGH A VARIETY OF INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES USING METHODS CHILDREN AND YOUTH ARE NATURALLY INTERESTED IN, SUCH AS SPORTS AND ARTS. THESE PROGRAMS BECOME VEHICLES TO TEACH LIFE SKILLS, WHICH ULTIMATELY HELP YOUNG PEOPLE BECOME CAPABLE ADULTS, ABLE TO SUCCEED IN THE WORKPLACE AND IN THE WORLD. LEADERSHIP TRAINING LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROVIDES CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH A HANDS-ON LEARNING EXPERIENCE SO THAT THEY CAN PRACTICE IMPORTANT LIFE SKILLS, INCLUDING INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION, PUBLIC SPEAKING, TEAMWORK, PROBLEM ANALYSIS & DECISION MAKING, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. PARTICIPANTS LEARN THE MEANING OF LEADERSHIP AND HOW TO IDENTIFY AND STRENGTHEN LEADERSHIP QUALITIES IN THEMSELVES AND IN THEIR PEERS. THOSE WHO EXCEL ARE LIKELY TO BE ELECTED TO THEIR LOCAL YOUTH COUNCIL. THESE SELECT LEADERS DETERMINE THE BEST USE OF YOUTH EMPOWERMENT FUNDS, WHICH CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL PROVIDES FOR YOUTH TO ORGANIZE AND COMPLETE LOCAL COMMUNITY-IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. THE CULMINATING ACTIVITY FOR THE YOUTH PARTICIPANTS IS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A SMALL-SCALE COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTIVITY. SPORTS FOR DEVELOPMENT SPORTS ARE A GREAT WAY TO TEACH LIFE SKILLS. CHILDREN INTERNATIONALS ORGANIZED SPORTS LEAGUES ALSO TEACH THE VALUE OF LIFE SKILLS SUCH AS TEAMWORK AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION. SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL EDUCATION IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT A RELEVANT AND IMPACTFUL CHILD AND YOUTH EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS WITH AFLATOUN (CHILD SAVINGS INTERNATIONAL) TO IMPLEMENT ITS SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM. THE AGE-APPROPRIATE CURRICULUM FOCUSES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERTINENT LIFE SKILLS, THE PROMOTION AND PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND COMMUNITY SERVICE, AND CIVIC EDUCATION. THE FIVE CORE ELEMENTS OF AFLATOUN ARE: 1. PERSONAL UNDERSTANDING AND EXPLORATION 2. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES 3. SAVINGS AND SPENDING 4. PLANNING AND BUDGETING 5. SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL ENTERPRISE BECOMING EMPLOYED CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL OFFERS SCHOLARSHIPS AND CAREER-READINESS PROGRAMS THAT HELP KIDS OVERCOME BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT BY GIVING THEM THE SKILLS NEEDED TO LOOK FOR JOBS, INTERVIEW AND DEVELOP THE NECESSARY WORK-ETHIC TO MAINTAIN LONG-TERM EMPLOYMENT. IN ADDITION, MERIT-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE FOR JOB-TRAINING PROGRAMS AS WELL AS FOR UNIVERSITY. CAREER READINESS AND INTO EMPLOYMENT THE ORGANIZATION'S CAREER-READINESS ACTIVITIES TEACH YOUTH HOW TO FIND WORK, INTERVIEW EFFECTIVELY AND BE GOOD EMPLOYEES. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL'S INTO EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM MATCHES YOUTH WITH TRADE SCHOOLS AND FORMAL WORK EXPERIENCE OPPORTUNITIES, HELPING THEM ACQUIRE JOB SKILLS THAT ARE IN DEMAND LOCALLY. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS CONTINUED LINE 4B ------- COMMUNITY CENTERS & CARING ADULTS CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL PROVIDES ITS MOST COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS WITHIN ITS COMMUNITY CENTERS. NEWER STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES HAVE SPECIFIC YOUTH ROOMS AND AREAS, WHICH ARE SEPARATE FROM THE GATHERING SPACES FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN, TO ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION AND ENHANCE YOUTH ACTIVITIES. WHILE BUILDINGS ARE IMPORTANT, THEY AREN'T WHAT MAKE CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL'S PROGRAMS A SUCCESS; IT'S THE PEOPLE WHO INVEST IN THE CHILDREN AND YOUTH WHO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. LOCAL VOLUNTEERS GLOBALLY, MORE THAN 9,000 INDIVIDUALS VOLUNTEER IN SUPPORT OF CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL. THESE TRAINED VOLUNTEERS - TYPICALLY THE PARENTS OF SPONSORED CHILDREN AND YOUTH - CONDUCT FAMILY VISITS IN SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, ARE THE FIRST TO KNOW ABOUT LOCAL AND DOMESTIC SITUATIONS AND SERVE AS AN INVALUABLE CONDUIT OF INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE. THESE INDIVIDUALS ALSO SUPPORT PROGRAMMING THAT TEACHES CHILDREN AND YOUTH HOW TO ORGANIZE PROJECTS AND BE LEADERS. THEN, THESE DEDICATED ADULTS ENCOURAGE YOUTH TO GIVE BACK THROUGH TUTORING YOUNGER CHILDREN AND LEADING COMMUNITY-IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO SERVE FOR DECADES - WELL AFTER THEIR OWN CHILDREN HAVE GRADUATED FROM CHILDREN INTERNATIONALS PROGRAM. PROFESSIONAL STAFF THE ORGANIZATION'S WORKFORCE IS COMPRISED OF IN-COUNTRY NATIONALS, INCLUDING EVERY DOCTOR, DENTIST, NUTRITIONIST, AGENCY DIRECTOR, TEACHER AND LIBRARIAN.
