Soon after news of the first earthquake emerged, World Hope mobilized to provide water filters in response to the immediate need for clean water. World Hope purchased and distributed over 700 filters in areas where water was in great need. WHI also distributed 8,400 donated hygiene kits to the highly affected Manabi and Esmeraldas provinces. In response to the October hurricane that devastated Haiti, World Hope partnered with several nonprofits and Christian organizations to transport and distribute 2,000 water filters, 2,520 hygiene kits, 900 cleaning kits, 342 tarps, and 900 food packages. In addition, World Hope has rolled out a long-term plan for reconstruction in Haiti alongside the Wesleyan church, which includes supporting agriculture projects, church reconstruction, and solar power projects as they restart within the country. There were many great achievements in WHI's Health and Nutrition programs in 2016. Helping Babies Breathe (HBB), a newborn resuscitation program in partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics and Children's Prize Foundation, will train 2,150 caregivers from 42 chiefdoms In five districts over the course of one year, with the ultimate goal of reducing neonatal mortality in hard-to-reach areas. In 2016, WHI implemented a 10-day trial with birth attendants, testing it in the local context and providing feedback on the curriculum. WHI's Enable the Children program supported nearly 580 children with disabilities through our local staff of physical and occupational therapists. These therapists conduct home visits and teach the families of how to use play, positioning, and correct nutrition to help their child develop. This year, the staff conducted 97 disability clinics where 404 new patients were admitted to the programs. Therapists made 1,923 home visits, provided specialized equipment to 207 children, provided business start-up grants to 12 families, and supported 23 children with school sponsorship. Over 1,000 families were seen by family support workers, and 210 local leaders were helped to understand the needs of children with disabilities and their families. WHI has continued follow-up care for Ebola survivors, with 2,813 home visits conducted by Survivor Advocates in 2016. WHI coordinated the delivery of medicines and supplies to 38 health centers in Sierra Leone, including 2 ultrasound machines. WHI's Nutrition Project screened 76,000 children for malnutrition and treated 3,000 cases of severe acute malnutrition in 2016. WHI also provided 750 Community Health Workers with a 10-day training on maternal and neonatal health and malnutrition, which will increase their quality of care for the 20,000 pregnant and lactating women and 87,000 young children they serve. 1342142 0 0 Water and Sanitation: World Hope has been committed to improving lives affected by Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) issues since 2004 by providing drinking water through borehole wells. In 2016, WHI drilled more wells than ever before -- a total of 134 new wells impacting 90,463 new beneficiaries. 69 of these wells were drilled in Sierra Leone, 30 in Mozambique, 25 in Liberia, 9 in Cambodia and 1 in Zambia. WHI also constructed twelve water towers with gravity tank systems, which provide clean water to maternity and community health centers. As always, World Hope remains committed to educating the communities where our wells are placed. Communities are trained on how to maintain, repair, and fund maintenance for their wells so that they can remain a valued village asset. Committees are formed, and trained on how to protect their new source of clean water and make sure that it stays pure for years to come. 1170755 0 27919 Economic Development: 2016 was a busy year for WHI's Economic Development projects. In Sierra Leone, WHI implemented a program in three districts to help meet the livelihood needs of Ebola survivors. The program provided monthly unconditional cash payments via mobile money, small grants to support business start-ups, and training in financial literacy, savings and loans, and modern agriculture techniques to 518 people (220 men, 298 women). They also hosted 11 panel discussions on the radio to help the public reduce the stigma associated with Ebola. Through the Petty Traders project, WHI helped recapitalize microfinance institutions, resulting in loans to 3,441 petty traders and training for 984 petty traders. Because energy poverty hampers economic opportunity in rural Sierra Leone, WHI partnered with Mobile Power, a small UK start up, to provide affordable smart solar batteries to rural villages. The pilot project was launched in the Ebola-affected village of Pate Bana in early 2017. WHI's Village Partnership program, which pairs American churches with needy communities in Sierra Leone, worked to construct 3 churches and distribute 840 bushels of groundnuts and rice seed to 430 small holder farmers. Livestock is also important to farmers, and the 110 goats distributed increased their income and were an important source of nutrition. To help combat malaria, WHI distributed 1,400 treated mosquito nets to 8 communities at the beginning of the rainy season. In the Philippines, WHI started a partnership with the Agay Village. They celebrated their first corn harvest from their 5 acre plot, selling 64 bags of corn at the market and using the funds to repair 13 houses which needed new foundations. During the year, 400 banana trees were planted. WHI has also overseen an 8x20 meter multipurpose drying floor so that produce can be dried by sunlight and less crops are lost to insects and mold. In Cambodia, the SISTERS program is advancing communities through the empowerment of women with economic development opportunities, education, and health care. In 2016, WHI worked directly with 139 women in five villages on agriculture and water projects, drilled 12 water wells, and mobilized 5,040 small loans and 2,847 savings accounts. Mushroom cultivation continues to be a big part of this project, since mushrooms are sold with high profit at local markets. Twenty-five farmers are now invested in these mushroom houses and enthusiastic about expanding. 706742 229510 5714 Education: World Hope's education programs benefit 1,890 children in 9 countries through community and school-based sponsorship programs. These sponsorships are made possible by a network of 1,261 child sponsors who give to sacrifice financially, but also send encouragement in the form of letters and pictures. World Hope helps to provide educational resources like books, uniforms, tuition assistance and classroom supplies, but also provides fundamental life resources such as clean water, medical care, food and protection from human trafficking. In 2016, World Hope launched a new child sponsorship program for children with special needs in Sierra Leone. Children sponsored through the program receive a case worker, treatment plan, and specialized therapy from WHI's Enable the Children team. World Hope's Early Childhood Development program is being implemented in 10 under-resourced communities in Bombali District. In 2016, 999 children registered into 17 ECD centers, and WHI is working to conduct community assessments and engagement meetings. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, WHI has partnered with local organizations to provide support and resources to teachers, primarily those working with children with special needs and/or learning disabilities. In 2016, seven seminars were hosted that brought in 500 attendees. WHI also runs the Education Resource Center, which offers local teachers and educators access to classroom space, printers, computers, projectors and books. This helps local schools and community organizations to actualize a variety of projects and ideas. In Azerbaijan, World Hope teaches English language and computer training to adult students, including refugees and internally displaced persons. In 2016, WHI Azerbaijan provided English lessons to 155 students through classes and conversation clubs and hardware and software training for 14 students 824329 7327 0 Volunteer and Other Initiatives: 2016 was a busy year for our volunteer, short-term trips. In 2016, 18 trips were taken where 122 volunteers were mobilized to 7 different countries (Sierra Leone, Peru, Haiti, Zambia, Indonesia, Liberia, and the US). In addition to the short-term trips, WHI coordinated 5 mid-term volunteer placements that lasted 2-12 months. These team contribute in various ways, such as: church building, community development, assisting in medical efforts, and building relationships with sponsored children. Repeatedly, short-term team members have returned to their home country with their hearts changed and a drive to empower the economically poor through a partnership with their church. 994265 44435 0 Anti-Human Trafficking: World Hope established and supported the launch of Liberia's first governmental anti-trafficking hotline, which became operational on July 22, 2016. In 2016, the hotline received 802 phone calls and as a result, 48 trafficked children were rescued. WHI staff accompany police on rescues and transport victims to the shelter, where they receive comprehensive medical care, mental health care, and education in addition to safe, caring place to live. WHI social workers and counselors manage each case, conduct family tracing for each survivor, and assess whether families and communities are safe for reintegration. IN 2016, WHI successfully reunited 45 children with their families and helped 24 survivors to re-enter school. Through person to person outreach in villages and radio call in shows, WHI trafficking awareness campaigns reached 4,759 people in 43 communities in 5 counties. WHI also trained 19 members of the hotline task force, 31 media personnel, and 45 federal officials for awareness and capacity building. In Sierra Leone, WHI's Recovery Center continues to provide comprehensive and safe residential care for survivors of human trafficking. In 2016, the center provided residential care for 52 survivors, while providing psychosocial, physical, and social support to 72 survivors. 50 survivors were also reunited with their family members, and income generation support was provided to 45 survivors and their family members. In the Philippines, where online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC) is growing rapidly, WHI is assessing the situation and planning approaches to assist in the fight against exploitation of children. 269756 0 0 Public Awareness: These initiatives bring attention to the suffering caused by severe poverty and exploitation. They also educate the public about what they can do to bring about opportunity, dignity and hope to the people that World Hope serves. 2795092 281272 5714 10825132 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 X 17 0 1 20 1 0 1 AJ BK CB HA LI MZ SL 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AK CA CO DC FL GA HI IL KY MD MN MS NC ND NH NM OK OR PA TN UT VA WI WV X X X World Hope International Inc 7039239414 1330 Braddock Place Suite 301 Alexandria VA 22314 Mike Chambers Board Chair 2.00 0 X X 0 0 0 Kevin Batman Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Bobbie Strand Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Swartzendruber Vice-Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Steve Brown Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Robert Clyde Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Gilmer Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 David Blanchard Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jeri Sape Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Dennis Jackson Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Gary Ott Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 John Lee Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Steve McEuen Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Murtie Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Shafer Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Quillan Byam Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Wayne Schmidt Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jim Mannoia Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 John Lyon CEO 50 0 X 136108 0 36036 Gayle Rietmulder CFO 50 0 X 122220 0 18052 Alison Padget Vice President of Programs 50 0 X 109410 0 17722 367738 0 71810 3 0 1 0 Group Benefit Services PO Box 64802 Baltimore MD 21264 Group Health Insurance 115792 Maxim Design Group LLC 74 Santalina Trail Battle Creek MI 49014 Graphic design, printing and mailing 139173 Washington Real Estate Invesement 1775 Eye Street NW Washington DC 20006 Office lease 135136 3 0 0 0 0 712791 11654631 4502730 12367422 Greenhouse sales 900099 26187 26187 0 0 Tuition 900099 5714 5714 0 0 Vehicle usage and other 900099 2701 2701 0 0 Produce Sales 900099 1027 1027 0 0 Microfinance revenue 900099 705 705 0 0 0 0 0 0 36334 23877 0 0 23877 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24829 0 16734 0 8095 8095 0 0 8095 0 Refunds 900099 2516 0 0 2516 0 0 0 0 2516 12438244 36334 0 34488 7327 7327 0 0 283945 283945 0 0 439548 198752 240796 0 0 0 0 0 1767546 1350945 109438 307163 15836 7090 2191 6555 297180 259602 10526 27052 87163 48836 22058 16269 0 0 0 0 6416 0 6416 0 116598 0 116598 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 254572 67592 25413 161567 139174 0 0 139174 292842 202706 47317 42819 140363 120158 7345 12860 0 0 0 0 306874 267245 18036 21593 220042 108246 3608 108188 0 0 0 0 15712 10971 1871 2870 5358 0 5358 0 0 0 0 0 371675 350930 10229 10516 22974 0 22974 0 Ebola relief and community health 4849542 4849542 0 0 Wells and sanitation 896910 896910 0 0 Agriculture and economic development 674091 674091 0 0 Hope corps and other initiatives 452823 452823 0 0 686074 667421 15190 3463 12350585 10825132 665364 860089 X 481772 420318 811451 726114 205558 543335 19331 0 162716 117055 57589 108814 1952069 1157916 714838 794153 361659 325476 199621 162519 3014535 3197784 355780 280130 289528 85645 431935 293325 272694 938633 1070404 X 1093965 1064413 367055 447015 614882 615952 2075902 2127380 3014535 3197784 87659 -36181 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 1 0 X 6176755 4977973 8454751 9441077 12367422 41417978 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6176755 4977973 8454751 9441077 12367422 41417978 0 41417978 58882 28724 23101 19553 23877 154137 0 0 0 0 365793 15518 35422 26404 2516 445653 42017768 259028 0.98573 0.92008 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Refunds $2,516 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 614882 0 1070 0 0 0 615952 613731 0 1151 0 0 0 614882 612946 0 785 0 0 0 613731 486275 126671 4269 0 4269 0 612946 110000 376275 13554 0 13554 0 486275 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 203075 74505 128570 0 1395513 781633 613880 0 353481 301778 51703 794153 First Step EOZ 325476 C 325476 Employee travel advances 2243 Intercompany receivable 67399 Program expense advances 9013 Cash value-donated life insurance 19580 Other field office receivables 41865 Gift annuity receivable 22419 162519 0 Deferred lease incentives 118262 Deferred lease liability 90881 Charity gift annuities 63551 272694 X Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 These are permanently restricted funds and thus only the earnings can be expended by the organization based on the donor's instructions. Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 World Hope is exempt from payment of taxes on income other than net unrelated business income under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. No provision for income taxes was required for the year ended December 31, 2016. WHI follows the authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes included in ASC Topic Income Taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. WHI performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2016, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or that may have an effect on its tax-exempt status. As of December 31, 2016, the statute of limitations for tax years 2013 through 2015 remains open with the U.S. federal jurisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which WHI files tax returns. It is WHI's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016, WHI had no accruals for interest and/or penalties. 1 East Asia and the Pacific 1 15 Program Services Relief and development 338425 East Asia and the Pacific 0 0 Grantmaking Anti-trafficking and Education 83383 Sub-Saharan Africa 4 115 Program Services Relief and development 9089210 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grantmaking Anti-trafficking and education 119282 South Asia 0 0 Grantmaking Educational assistance 39030 South America 0 0 Program Services Relief and Development 171989 Central America and the Caribbean 0 0 Program Services Educational assistance 129129 Central America and the Caribbean 0 0 Grantmaking Educational assistance and Health Int. 42250 Russia and the newly independent States 1 6 Program Services Education 80900 Europe (including Iceland and Greenland) 1 0 Program Services Education 26723 7 136 10120321 Central America and the Caribbean Health initiatives 10000 ACH 0 East Asia and the Pacific Anti-trafficking 19760 wire 0 East Asia and the Pacific Educational assistance 63623 wire 0 South Asia Educational Assistance 17500 Wire 0 South Asia Educational Assistance 14962 Wire 0 South Asia Educational assistance 6630 Wire 0 Sub-Saharan Africa Educational assistance 9974 Wire 0 Sub-Saharan Africa Educational assistance 71200 Wire 0 Sub-Saharan Africa Educational assistance 13433 Wire 0 Sub-Saharan Africa Anti-trafficking 24675 Wire 0 Central America and the Caribbean Educational assistance 34250 ach 0 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 In countries where World Hope does not have a field office, educational initiatives such as tuition payments and providing uniforms/school supplies to children without means are administered through partnering organizations and community groups.
