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. Two trips the groundnut technology is 9 x faster per indidividual than traditional methods. CTI sent 6 Winnower-Thresher-Stripper-Grinder suites to Senegal to begin a program on pearl millet processing in West Africa. The technology is ten times faster than traditional methods. CTI manufactured and shipped its grinders and developed Ready-to-Use Theraputic Food (RUTF) to India to set up processing facility. CTI's Water Chlorinator program reached over 175,000 people in 2012/2013. 500 days were required to install the chlorinator and tablets. CTI went to Ethiopia to identify and initiate licensing contracts for its pepper eater technology. 180145 Technology Development - Activities relate to the design, modification, application and evaluation of devices, techniques and processes that help fight hunger and poverty. Training activities are also included in this category. We began working on a new water technology for household water consumption. The prototype is finished and the units are being shipped to Haiti. CTI conducted more field testing and optimization of its stripper, thresher and winnower for the grain processing units in Senegal. CTI has also developed a sorghum drum stripper and thresher that is in prototype mode for West Africa and Southern Africa. The organization continued research and development for a pepper eater for shredding hot chilies in a way that improves the health of women in Ethiopia. With the pepper eater, women produced high-quality pepper flakes more than twice as fast as they could by hand, doubling their efficiency and profit.CTI conducted field tests of its pepper eater in Ethiopia to ascertain whether the technology is best suited for organized farmer group or households. 499609 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false true true 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 false false false false true 3 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 22 22 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false MN X X ALEXANDRA SPIELDOCH 6516323912 800 TRANSFER RD SUITE 6 ST PAUL MN 55114 MICHELLE COOPER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHERINE WALKER-GRIFFITH 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHERINE BLANCK RADSAN 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID PEARCE 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHIRISH PAREEK 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE MURPHY 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES R LARSON 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICH LARSEN 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN GRUNAU 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN H FOCHLER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAY ERSTLING 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JARED BREWINGTON 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GARY BALAS 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PATERICK M ARENZ 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GARY BALLMAN 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PETER L OLSON 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CARL SCHROEDER 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK KALLA 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ADAM RIX 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL HEALEY 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CATHIE HARTNETT 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RONALD CHRISTENSON 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ALEXANDRA SPIELDOCH 40.00 0.00 X 26350 0 0 ROGER SALWAY 40.00 0.00 X 68359 0 0 94709 0 false false false 0 549072 549072 PRODUCT SALES 624200 74721 74721 74721 5537 5537 0 0 0 0 114565 16276 98289 98289 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 624200 1733 1733 1733 729352 74721 105559 X 0 0 0 0 94709 63560 12736 18413 0 203157 136341 27318 39498 0 0 23943 16073 3221 4649 0 0 0 0 0 0 118626 43919 52987 21720 0 30316 14719 10479 5118 0 0 50797 40613 10184 63516 53726 1340 8450 0 1504 523 981 0 0 10794 10794 4863 4863 BaNK CHARGES AND FEES 14956 884 14072 OTHER EXPENSE 19926 2937 16389 600 PRODUCTION EXPENSES 20812 20812 PROJECT EXPENSE 105361 105361 141 141 763421 499609 165364 98448 20329 107754 29392 2480 43558 0 8697 1472 0 0 0 13677 8314 6248 5657 44935 25218 24281 19717 0 0 0 0 110063 114129 256245 259523 72621 94053 214 25000 37063 97835 131116 X -115431 -141884 163778 156163 110063 114128 158410 128407 256245 259523 -34069 4066 X false true X true false X 216271 665992 426256 462043 557322 2327884 0 0 216271 665992 426256 462043 557322 2327884 336452 1991432 6625 7380 8024 6412 5538 33979 0 84 8 27 1733 1852 2363715 0.84250 0.83470 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 44935 25218 19717 19717 114129 X 1198536 4066 465118 469184 729352 729352 1228539 465118 465118 763421 763421 Part X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization has a tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has adopted Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, ASC 740-10.
