It installed 3-5 water chlorinators per month in communities. It completed a national report working with the national ministry of health showing that its technology has reduced health problems related to dirty water. It held a national forum with water partners from around the country to identify areas of collaboration to expand its impact. In Senegal CTI benefited 15,000 farmers producing pearl millet and groundnuts. CTI distributed its post-harvest processing tools in over 100 villages. It established a partnerships with a local manufacturer to fabricate them in-country. And, it identified buyers to purchase quality products made with CTI tools. The program is being implemented by 2 full time staff working with national partners, including the National Ministry of Agriculture. 150 threshers and grinders have been ordered to expand into more villages throughout the country. Surveys including 70 farmers were completed to support CTI's program in West Africa. In Malawi, CTI hired a program manager full-time. CTI showcased its groundnut post-harvest processing prototypes, which were approved the national technical review committee. CTI completed a socio-economic report based on interviews with farmers in 5 regions throughout the country. CTI launched a 2nd phase of work to develop business models in-country to support commercialization and adoption. CTI benefited 2000 people. Technology Implementation - CTI has participated in many projects implementing CTI designed technologies. An example of projects undertaken includes the continuation of a 4 year collaborative project to enhance child nutrition and livelihoods of rural households in Malawi and Tanzania through improvements in post-harvest peanut processing. The groundnut technology is 9 x faster per individual than traditional methods. In Senegal, CTI sent 35 Winnower-Thresher-Stripper-Grinder suites to Senegal to begin a program on pearl millet processing in West Africa. The technology is two times faster than traditional methods. It improves the quality of the grain and reduces grain loss. It also reduces womens drudgery. CTI also engaged in human centered design research to evaluate the potential for sorghum processing technology. CTI manufactured and sold its grinders to partners working in 16 countries. CTI's Water Chlorinator program reached over 245, 000 people in 2013/2014. 374571 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false true false false false true 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 true false false false false true 9 0 true 5 true false false true OC false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 18 17 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false MN X X ALEXANDRA SPIELDOCH 6516323912 800 TRANSFER RD SUITE 6 ST PAUL MN 55114 X PAUL HEALEY CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ADAM RIX CO-VICE CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CATHIE HARTNETT CO-VICE CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CARL SCHROEDER CO-VICE CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PATRICK ARENZ Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK KALLA Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RONALD CHRISTENSON Former Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JARED BREWINGTON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN CORNELL WILKES Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DOUG DUNLAY Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAN FOSOLD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PETER OLSON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN FOCHLER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT MONTGOMERY Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK LUCAS Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HEIDI THOM Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AL SULLIVAN Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ALEXANDRA SPIELDOCH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 X 85000 0 850 85000 850 0 false false false 0 27491 533120 560611 PRODUCT SALES 624200 34054 34054 34054 4795 4795 0 0 0 19546 19204 342 342 342 168947 14224 154723 154723 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 624200 1016 1016 1016 755541 34396 160534 X 0 0 0 0 85850 38633 16312 30905 181103 81496 34410 65197 0 3107 1398 1119 590 0 27050 12173 9738 5139 0 0 48768 48768 0 0 0 141460 121526 6934 13000 2507 532 1965 10 9771 3417 3098 3256 0 0 50697 42544 8153 31455 28940 1807 708 0 14010 8688 1521 3801 1946 1946 0 2210 2210 10170 10170 PRODUCTION EXPENSES 26214 26214 Printing and Publications 11699 201 8435 3063 BaNK CHARGES AND FEES 9187 172 9015 OTHER EXPENSE 8080 580 7500 11463 8637 1269 1557 676747 374571 167450 134726 97678 86913 6494 44733 16700 52950 79018 164880 0 0 0 12022 33532 3264 20440 53637 47739 8108 5898 0 0 0 0 116457 105904 339741 515250 43470 84692 3998 33275 3317 39793 50785 157760 X 139211 131725 33388 119960 116357 105805 288956 357490 339741 515250 78794 -10260 X false true X true false X 462043 557322 856918 710757 560611 3147651 0 0 462043 557322 856918 710757 560611 3147651 332527 2815124 6412 5538 5377 4845 4795 26967 0 27 1733 2499 3155 1358 8772 3183390 0.88430 0.93620 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 53637 47739 5898 5898 INVESTMENT IN CTI, INC. 100 105904 X 1145927 -10260 400646 390386 755541 755541 1077393 400646 400646 676747 676747 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
