AFTER WORKING TIRELESSLY TO RISE OUT OF THE SLUM HE GREW UP IN, HE IS NOW IN HIS THIRD YEAR OF ENGINEERING STUDIES. IN THE EVENINGS, HE CONDUCTS A STUDY HOUR FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHILDREN IN HIS SLUM AND HELPS THEM WITH THEIR HOMEWORK.

PROCEDURE FOR MONITORING GRANTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.:   SCHEDULE F, PART I, LINE 2: CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN AND AGING (CFCA) SENDS A WIRE TRANSFER TO PROJECTS LOCATED IN 22 COUNTRIES ON A MONTHLY BASIS. THE MONTHLY TRANSFER INCLUDES THE PROJECT'S ALLOCATION OF SPONSORSHIP FUNDS IN THREE CATEGORIES: CHILDREN, AGING AND VOCATIONS (WHERE APPLICABLE). THE MONTHLY TRANSFER ALSO INCLUDES BIRTHDAY FUNDS. MONEY IS SENT AT THE APPROPRIATE TIMES FOR SERVICE-SCHOLARSHIPS AND CHRISTMAS. THERE MIGHT BE ADDITIONAL RESTRICTED FUNDS SENT AS CFCA GRANTS OR BECAUSE OF SPONSORS' EXTRA DONATIONS FOR SPECIFIC FAMILY OR PROJECT NEEDS BEYOND WHAT THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM COVERS. CFCA MONITORS THE PROJECTS' USE OF THESE FUNDS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. PROJECTS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE MONTHLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO CFCA'S OFFICE IN KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, INCLUDING: A. TRANSACTION-LEVEL FINANCIAL DETAIL B. PROJECT BANK STATEMENTS AND BANK RECONCILIATIONS C. LIABILITY LISTING D. RESERVES REPORT, IF UNDESIGNATED RESERVES ARE GREATER THAN THE ALLOWED PERCENTAGE OF ONE MONTH'S WIRE TRANSFER. THE PROJECTS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS: A. ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET B. WORK PLAN FOR THE YEAR C. ASSET LISTING D. INVENTORY LISTING E. ANNUAL REPORT F. GOVERNMENT-REQUIRED EXTERNAL AUDIT G. ANY OTHER FINANCIAL REPORTS FILED WITH THEIR GOVERNMENTS FOR SPECIAL MONEY GIFTS OVER $100, PROJECTS ARE REQUIRED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXPENDITURES TO THE DONORS. THERE ARE FOUR FINANCIAL AUDITORS IN THE INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS DEPARTMENT AT CFCA. EACH HAS RESPONSIBILITY FOR A NUMBER OF PROJECTS, AND REVIEWS THE MONTHLY REPORTS ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR TIMELINESS, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AND COMPLIANCE WITH CFCA FINANCIAL AND PROGRAM POLICY. A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE AUDITOR'S FINDINGS IS SENT TO EACH PROJECT ANNUALLY. IN ADDITION, PROJECTS ARE MONITORED THROUGH A COMBINATION OF EXTERNAL AUDITS, INTERNAL AUDITS BY CFCA STAFF AND COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT VISITS. THE INTERNAL CFCA AUDITS INCLUDE TESTING OF FINANCIAL INTERNAL CONTROLS, DOCUMENTING THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, AND CONDUCTING RANDOM SAMPLE HOME VISITS. THERE ARE OTHER PROCESSES, TOO, THROUGH WHICH CFCA IS ABLE TO MONITOR THE PROJECTS. CFCA REQUIRES AN UPDATED ANNUAL PHOTO OF EACH SPONSORED MEMBER, AND HAS PROCESSES TO ASSURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF EVERY PHOTO. CFCA REQUIRES EACH SPONSORED MEMBER TO WRITE TO HIS OR HER SPONSOR AT LEAST TWICE EACH YEAR. THE LETTERS ARE REGULARLY REVIEWED ON A SAMPLE BASIS BEFORE BEING SENT TO SPONSORS. SPONSORS EAGERLY ANTICIPATE LETTERS FROM THEIR SPONSORED FRIENDS. LASTLY, CFCA ORGANIZES GROUP TRIPS CALLED MISSION AWARENESS TRIPS AND FACILITATES INDIVIDUAL SPONSOR VISITS TO A NUMBER OF THE PROJECTS EACH YEAR. CFCA ENCOURAGES SPONSORS TO VISIT THEIR SPONSORED FRIENDS AND VIEW FIRSTHAND THE WORK OF THE PROJECTS. ALL VISITS ARE MONITORED AND SUPERVISED. IN 2010, 1,175 SPONSORED MEMBERS WERE VISITED BY THEIR SPONSORS.

SPONSORSHIP (CONTINUED): FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: TOTAL GRANTS TO THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM WERE $89.9 MILLION IN 2010(INCLUDING SCHOLARSHIP AND GRANTS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS, FUNDING TO PROJECTS TOTALED $93.4 MILLION AND REPRESENTED 87.1 PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE IN 2010). AT THE END OF 2010, A TOTAL OF 306,885 INDIVIDUALS WERE SPONSORED THROUGH CFCA'S HOPE FOR A FAMILY PROGRAM. THEY INCLUDED 283,582 CHILDREN, 22,888 AGING PERSONS AND 415 CANDIDATES STUDYING FOR A RELIGIOUS VOCATION. SPONSORED INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE SERVED THROUGH CFCA PROJECTS IN BOLIVIA, BRAZIL, CHILE, COLOMBIA, COSTA RICA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, ECUADOR, EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA, HAITI, HONDURAS, INDIA, KENYA, LIBERIA, MADAGASCAR, MEXICO, NICARAGUA, PERU, PHILIPPINES, TANZANIA, UGANDA AND VENEZUELA. FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLES OF ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE HOPE FOR A FAMILY SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM. IN THE COUNTRIES WHERE CFCA WORKS, FAMILIES LIVING IN POVERTY ARE STRUGGLING HEROICALLY AGAINST TREMENDOUS ODDS. HOPE FOR A FAMILY SPONSORSHIP OFFERS JUST THAT - HOPE - AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD A PATH OUT OF POVERTY. THE PRIMARY BENEFITS OF SPONSORSHIP ARE NUTRITION, EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE, CLOTHING AND MEDICAL CARE. MANY CFCA PROJECTS ALSO HAVE LIVELIHOOD PROGRAMS THAT HELP FAMILIES EARN ADDITIONAL INCOME. EXAMPLES OF OTHER TYPES OF BENEFITS INCLUDE ASSISTANCE TO REBUILD OR REPAIR HOUSES TO ENSURE ADEQUATE AND HEALTHY LIVING CONDITIONS, RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH AND THE AGING, AND WORKSHOPS FOR FAMILIES ON TOPICS SUCH AS PARENTING AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION. BENEFITS VARY ACCORDING TO INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY NEEDS, LOCAL RESOURCES, AND FAMILY AND COMMUNITY PRIORITIES. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BENEFITS OF SPONSORSHIP IS BELONGING TO A CARING CFCA INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY THAT INCLUDES OTHER FAMILIES SERVED THROUGH CFCA, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS, AND SPONSORS IN THE U.S. CFCA'S HOPE FOR A FAMILY SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM IS MUCH MORE THAN A HANDOUT OF MATERIAL GOODS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FAMILIES WE SERVE, WE STRIVE TO ACHIEVE THESE NINE TENETS OF THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM: 1. ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY...SPONSORED MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS THROUGH A COMBINATION OF THEIR OWN INCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIES, ACCESS TO CAPITAL AND SPONSORSHIP BENEFITS. OVER TIME, FAMILIES RELY LESS ON CFCA BENEFITS AND MORE ON THEIR OWN INCOME-GENERATION ACTIVITIES TO MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS. JOEL, A 58-YEAR-OLD SUBSISTENCE FARMER, STRUGGLED MOST OF HIS LIFE TO GET BY. WHEN HE BECAME SPONSORED IN 2007 THROUGH CFCA'S HOPE FOR A FAMILY PROGRAM IN KENYA, HE WAS DETERMINED TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE OPPORTUNITY. BECAUSE OF HIS ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES AND AGE, JOEL WAS ELIGIBLE FOR CFCA'S SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM FOR ELDERLY PERSONS. "THE CURRENT LIFE EXPECTANCY IN KENYA IS ABOUT 58.8 YEARS," SAID JANET TINSLEY, CFCA PROJECT DIRECTOR FOR KENYA. "WHILE 58 IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE VERY OLD IN THE U.S., JOEL IS CONSIDERED ELDERLY IN KENYA." WITH SPONSORSHIP SUPPORT, JOEL WAS ABLE TO MEET HIS BASIC NEEDS AND BEGIN SAVING FOR A WATER PUMP. "MY ENROLLMENT IN THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM IN 2007 MEANT A LOT TO ME," JOEL SAID. "I WAS DETERMINED TO CHANGE MY LIFE WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM MY SPONSOR. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED FARMING, BUT IT WAS HECTIC FOR ME TO FETCH WATER FROM THE RIVER EACH DAY TO WATER MY PLANTS. I DECIDED TO SAVE SOME OF MY SPONSORSHIP FUNDS AND BUY A WATER PUMP TO HELP." EARLIER THIS YEAR, JOEL WAS ABLE TO SAVE THE FULL AMOUNT TO PURCHASE THE PUMP. "IT IS SO MUCH EASIER TO WATER MY CROPS," JOEL SAID. "MY SHAMBA (FARM) IS VERY PRODUCTIVE AND THROUGH THE SALE OF MY CROPS AT THE NEARBY MARKET, I AM ABLE TO SUSTAIN MYSELF." 2. MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND SUPPORT...FAMILIES OF SPONSORED MEMBERS FORM A SUPPORT NETWORK IN WHICH THEY ENCOURAGE AND ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO ONE OTHER. FARIDA IS A MOTHER OF A CHILD IN CFCA'S HOPE FOR A FAMILY PROGRAM IN INDIA. AFTER HER HUSBAND LEFT THE FAMILY, SHE ENTERED INTO A DEEP DEPRESSION. MOTHERS OF SPONSORED CHILDREN WHO WERE PART OF A CFCA MOTHERS GROUP REACHED OUT TO FARIDA TO OFFER FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT. AS FARIDA SPENT TIME WITH THE CARING MOTHERS, SHE BEGAN TO EMERGE FROM HER DEPRESSION. FARIDA TOOK A SEWING CLASS AT THE CFCA RESOURCE CENTER, AND QUICKLY LEARNED TO SEW. AFTER THE TRAINING SHE TOOK A LOAN FROM THE MOTHERS GROUP, PURCHASED A SEWING MACHINE, AND STARTED MAKING DRESSES AND COLLECTING SCRAP PIECES OF FABRIC TO MAKE QUILTS, CARPETS AND BLANKETS. SHE SOLD HER GOODS IN THE LOCAL MARKET. NOW, FARIDA HAS PURCHASED A SMALL PIECE OF LAND AND IS BUILDING A HOME FOR HER FAMILY. 3. CAPACITY BUILDING...A PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE PROGRAM IS CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILIES TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN CAPACITY FOR PERSONAL AND ECONOMIC GROWTH RATHER THAN A FOCUS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF MATERIAL GOODS. A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO, THE CFCA COMMUNITY IN NICARAGUA BEGAN ORGANIZING PARENTS OF SPONSORED CHILDREN INTO SMALL PARENT GROUPS. THE GOAL OF THE GROUPS IS TO GIVE THE PARENTS MORE OWNERSHIP OF THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM. "CFCA KNOWS THAT FAMILIES UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS BEST, AND THE GROUPS ALLOW THEM TO DETERMINE THE BEST USE OF SPONSORSHIP BENEFITS AND OFFER EACH OTHER A SUPPORT NETWORK," SAID ANA MARTINEZ, CFCA PROJECT DIRECTOR FOR NICARAGUA. THE PARENT GROUPS, ALONG WITH THE LOCAL CFCA STAFF, DEVISED A LIVELIHOOD INITIATIVE TO TEACH THE PARENTS NEW SKILLS AND HELP THEM SUPPLEMENT THEIR INCOME. THE PARENTS STARTED OUT BY PLANTING BEANS, WHICH, WHEN HARVESTED, THEY USED TO HELP MEET THEIR FAMILIES' NUTRITION NEEDS OR SELL FOR A PROFIT. AFTER THE BEAN HARVEST, EIGHT FAMILIES WHO SAW THE POTENTIAL OF THESE PROJECTS ORGANIZED THEMSELVES TO BEGIN A NEW HARVEST PLAN. THIS TIME THE FAMILIES CHOSE TO PLANT CORN. THEY USED THEIR BEAN HARVESTING EXPERIENCE TO IMPROVE THEIR FARMING TECHNIQUES AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION. THE GROUP CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AND GROW TOGETHER, AND WILL SOON BEGIN A NEW CROP TO BE HARVESTED IN THE SPRING. OVER TIME, THE FAMILIES WILL BE ABLE TO RELY LESS ON CFCA AND MORE ON THEIR OWN ABILITIES TO GENERATE INCOME. 4. DECENTRALIZED DECISION-MAKING...FAMILIES HAVE THE PRIMARY VOICE IN SELECTION OF PERSONALIZED BENEFITS AND SERVICES AS WELL AS OTHER KEY PROGRAM DECISIONS WITHIN A SOLID FRAMEWORK OF STAFF SUPPORT AND INTERNAL CONTROLS. MANY CFCA COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD HAVE STARTED MOTHERS OR PARENTS GROUPS TO INCREASE PARENTAL PARTICIPATION IN THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM. BELIEVING THAT PARENTS KNOW BEST WHAT THEIR FAMILIES NEED TO CREATE A PATH OUT OF POVERTY, LOCAL PROJECTS SEEK TO ENGAGE PARENTS IN THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM DECISION MAKING. WOMEN IN INDIA HAVE BEEN ENGAGED IN MOTHERS GROUPS FOR 11 YEARS. OVER THE COURSE OF THIS TIME, THE LOCAL STAFFS HAVE WITNESSED THE STRENGTH AND ABILITY OF THE MOTHERS. THE SELF-DIRECTED NATURE OF THE GROUPS PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR MOTHERS TO GENERATE IDEAS AND ACT ON THEM. MOTHERS DEFINE THEIR FAMILIES' GREATEST NEEDS, SUCH AS EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT, MEDICAL ASSISTANCE, OR SEED MONEY FOR A SMALL BUSINESS, AND ORGANIZE TO MEET THOSE NEEDS WITH GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT FROM THE LOCAL CFCA STAFFS. AS A RESULT, THE STATURE OF WOMEN IN COMMUNITIES WHERE CFCA WORKS HAS BEEN ELEVATED. ONE EXAMPLE IS LOURDU MARY, A MOTHER IN THE ST. ANTHONY MOTHERS GROUP IN HYDERABAD, INDIA. LOURDU MARY WANTED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUPPORT OF HER HOUSEHOLD. ONE OF HER CHILDREN HAS A SERIOUS DISABILITY. THE GROUP MEMBERS ENCOURAGED LOURDU MARY TO USE HER SEWING AND EMBROIDERY TALENTS IN A SARI BUSINESS. THE GROUP LOANED HER 32,000 RUPEES ($705) OVER THREE YEARS. LOURDU MARY'S BUSINESS EXCEEDED EVERYONE'S EXPECTATIONS. LOURDU MARY SAID THE GROUP GAVE HER CONFIDENCE AND RECOGNIZED HER TALENTS. "I FEEL SO HAPPY THAT I AM ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF MY SON WITH A DISABILITY AND ALSO PROVIDE FOR MOST OTHER NEEDS OF MY FAMILY, WITHOUT HAVING TO DEPEND ENTIRELY ON MY HUSBAND," SHE SAID.
    5. EMPOWERMENT...PROGRAM INITIATIVES ESTABLISH SPACES WHERE MARGINALIZED GROUPS ARE EMPOWERED TO CREATE EQUALITY, JUSTICE AND UNITY IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. EXISTING POWER IMBALANCES ARE ADDRESSED WITH AN ENDURING COMMITMENT TO CREATIVE NON-VIOLENCE, DIGNITY AND LONG-TERM CHANGE. FAMILIES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF BATAAN, A COMMUNITY SERVED BY CFCA IN MANILA, PHILIPPINES, WERE LOOKING FOR A SPECIAL WAY TO COMMEMORATE THE COMMUNITY'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY. THEY CHOSE TO HELP THE VILLAGE OF CAMIAS BUILD A WATER SYSTEM. BECAUSE CAMIAS RESIDENTS HAD TO HIKE DOWN DOZENS OF STEEP, ROCKY STEPS AND BACK UP EVERY TIME THEY NEEDED WATER, FAMILIES COULD ONLY MANAGE TO FILL ONE FIVE-GALLON CONTAINER A DAY. THOSE FIVE GALLONS HAD TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRINKING, COOKING AND BATHING NEEDS FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY. IN COMPARISON, THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORTS THAT AVERAGE PER CAPITA WATER CONSUMPTION IN THE U.S. IS 90-100 GALLONS A DAY. THE BATAAN COMMUNITY WAS EAGER TO HELP THE CAMIAS RESIDENTS ACCESS WATER MORE SAFELY AND EASILY, AND EVERYONE WORKED TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS VISION REALITY. CFCA PAID FOR THE COST OF MATERIALS AND TRANSPORTATION FOR THE BATAAN WORKERS. THE BATAAN FAMILIES DONATED A PORTION OF THEIR MONTHLY CFCA FOOD BENEFIT TO HELP FEED THE WORKERS, AND SOME CAMIAS WORKERS WHO DID NOT HAVE CHILDREN IN THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM OFFERED THEIR LABOR. "IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY CHEERFULLY HELPING EACH OTHER FOR A COMMON GOAL," SAID RONALD, THE FATHER OF A CFCA SPONSORED CHILD IN CAMIAS. FAMILIES CAN NOW FILL SEVERAL FIVE-GALLON CONTAINERS OF WATER AT A TIME. IN ADDITION TO MORE CONVENIENT ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER, THE COMMUNITY IS REALIZING MANY OTHER BENEFITS FROM THE NEW WATER STATION. "THE SCHOOLCHILDREN ARE MORE CHEERFUL AND ALERT, MAYBE BECAUSE THEY CAN DRINK ENOUGH CLEAN WATER," SAID ALLAN, A COMMUNITY LEADER IN CAMIAS. "OUR RELATIONSHIP IN THE FAMILY HAS IMPROVED SINCE WE ARE NOT ARGUING ANYMORE ABOUT WHO WILL FETCH WATER." AND PERSONAL HYGIENE HAS IMPROVED. "WE CAN SLEEP WITH CLEAN FEET NOW," ONE FATHER SAID. 6. GOAL ORIENTATION...SPONSORED MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES HAVE CLEAR PERSONAL GOALS AND REALISTIC PLANS TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS. MARIA CRISTINA WAS BORN 28 YEARS AGO IN AN URBAN AREA OF GUATEMALA CITY, GUATEMALA. SHE AND HER FOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS GREW UP IN POVERTY. HER FATHER ABANDONED THE FAMILY, LEAVING HER MOTHER TO STRUGGLE TO PROVIDE BASIC NECESSITIES FOR HER CHILDREN. BY ALL ACCOUNTS, MARIA CRISTINA SHOULD NOT HAVE GRADUATED FROM SCHOOL OR SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED A MEDICAL DEGREE. SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE 60-PLUS PERCENT OF GUATEMALAN YOUTH WHO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL BY THE SIXTH GRADE (WORLD BANK EDUCATION STATISTICS). BUT MARIA CRISTINA WILLED HER CHILDHOOD DREAMS INTO REALITY. SHE WAS SPONSORED THROUGH CFCA IN FOURTH GRADE. BY THE END OF PRIMARY SCHOOL, SHE HAD DECIDED SHE WANTED TO BE A DOCTOR. THROUGH MANY CHALLENGES AND ADVERSITY, MARIA CRISTINA HELD TIGHTLY TO HER DREAM AND WORKED HARD TO ACHIEVE IT. IN 2010, MARIA CRISTINA GRADUATED FROM MEDICAL SCHOOL AS A DOCTOR AND SURGEON. SHE NOW WORKS AT A HOME FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS, PROVIDING MEDICAL TREATMENT. SHE HAS REMAINED INVOLVED WITH CFCA AND SERVES AS AN INSPIRATION FOR SPONSORED CHILDREN IN THE HOPE FOR A FAMILY PROGRAM. 7. CULTURE OF LEARNING...FAMILIES, IN CONJUNCTION WITH PROJECT STAFF, BALANCE REFLECTION AND ACTION, DEFINE AND MEASURE OUTCOMES, AND UTILIZE RESULTS FOR CONTINUOUS PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS AND ADAPTATION TO CHANGES IN THE WORLD AROUND THEM. IN 2010, WORKING TOGETHER WITH LOCAL PROJECT STAFFS, FAMILIES AND CFCA HEADQUARTERS STAFF, TEAMS EVALUATED TWO LIVELIHOOD INITIATIVES IN THE PHILIPPINES AND ONE EDUCATION PROGRAM IN GUATEMALA. THE TEAMS SOUGHT TO UNDERSTAND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CURRENT PROGRAMS, OFFERING ENCOURAGEMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT. ONE EVALUATION STUDIED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A MILL IN THE QUEZON PROJECT IN THE PHILIPPINES. THIS MILL WAS STARTED TO ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF RICE FARMING FAMILIES WHO COMPRISE 90 PERCENT OF SPONSORED MEMBERS IN THE AGOO SUBPROJECT. INITIATED AND CONSTRUCTED BY THE FAMILIES OF SPONSORED CHILDREN, THE MILL WAS COMPLETED BY MID-OCTOBER 2009 AND THE OPERATION BEGAN BY PURCHASING PALAY FROM FARMERS AND SUPPLYING 455 SACKS OF MILLED RICE TO 2,000 SPONSORED MEMBERS. THE MILL HAD BEEN IN OPERATION FOR 11 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVALUATION. EMPLOYEES OF THE MILL ARE MOSTLY FATHERS OF SPONSORED CHILDREN, AND OCCASIONAL WORKERS INCLUDE SOME OLDER STUDENTS. SIXTY PERCENT OF THE FARMERS USING THE MILL ARE FAMILIES OF SPONSORED CHILDREN (APPROXIMATELY 1,000), AND 40 PERCENT OF THE FARMERS ARE NOT PARTICIPANTS IN THE CFCA PROGRAM. THE PROJECT INITIATED THIS EVALUATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE RICE MILL LIVELIHOOD PROJECT IS SUSTAINABLE AND VIABLE FOR REPLICATION, AS WELL AS TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE MILL IS REALLY BENEFITING FAMILIES OF SPONSORED CHILDREN. THROUGH EVALUATION, THE TEAM LEARNED THAT ALL FARMERS EXPRESSED THAT THEY WERE BENEFITING FROM THE MILL AND EXPERIENCING AN INCREASE IN INCOME. MOST USED THIS INCREASED INCOME TO IMPROVE THEIR FAMILY'S FOOD SUPPLY AND FUND THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. THE TEAM RECOMMENDED THAT MILL MANAGEMENT HIRE A DESIGNATED INDIVIDUAL TO MANAGE FINANCIAL RECORDS AND DO CASHIERING. THE CFCA PROJECT WILL OFFER BUSINESS MANAGEMENT TRAINING AND CONTINUE TO EVALUATE THE MILL TO IMPROVE OVERALL EFFECTIVENESS FOR FAMILIES. 8. WORLDVIEW...FAMILIES ARE AGENTS OF POSITIVE CHANGE IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. FAMILIES SEE THEMSELVES AS PART OF A WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT WITH RESPONSIBILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE THEIR LIVES WITH SPONSORS. FAMILIES KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS WHO ARE WALKING THE JOURNEY WITH THEM. "LIVING IN POVERTY IS DIFFICULT. RAISING YOUR CHILDREN IN POVERTY IS BRUTAL," SAID REINA, THE MOTHER OF THREE CHILDREN FORMERLY SPONSORED THROUGH CFCA IN EL SALVADOR. CFCA SPONSORSHIP HELPED REINA BY GIVING HER SUPPORT WHILE SHE RAISED HER THREE CHILDREN. HER CHILDREN ARE GROWN AND NO LONGER IN THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM, BUT THE SPIRIT OF CFCA REMAINS IN REINA'S LIFE 20 YEARS LATER. "I FEEL LIKE WE ARE STILL PART OF THE CFCA FAMILY," REINA SAID. "THE [BIRTHDAY] PARTIES, THE CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS, THE NEW SHOES, AND THE SMELL OF NEW SCHOOL SUPPLIES REMAIN INTACT IN THE MEMORY OF MY CHILDREN AND I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT." REINA HAS SAVED THE LETTERS AND PICTURES HER CHILDREN RECEIVED FROM THEIR SPONSORS. "MY CHILDREN'S SPONSORS WERE GREAT," REINA SAID. "THEY HELPED ME RAISE MY CHILDREN. I HOLD THEIR LETTERS AND PICTURES DEARLY. OUR SPONSORS HELPED US WHEN WE NEEDED IT THE MOST. THEY HAVE NO IDEA THE DIFFERENCE THEY MADE IN OUR LIFE." NOW, THAT HER CHILDREN ARE ON THEIR OWN, REINA FEELS A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT. IT IS A FEELING THAT CONTRIBUTES TO HER LIFE OF DIGNITY AND JOY. "YOU NEVER STOP BEING PART OF CFCA," REINA SAID. "CFCA IS IN OUR HEART, MIND AND SOUL. THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE." 9. SUSTAINABILITY...FAMILIES ARE THE PRIMARY AGENTS IN THEIR OWN DEVELOPMENT, TAKING INITIATIVE AND ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM AND EVENTUALLY SELF-MANAGING MANY ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM WITH PROJECT STAFF SERVING AS SUPPORT RESOURCES. THE COMMUNITY IS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO DEVELOP KEY PROGRAMS INDEPENDENT OF CFCA. THIRTEEN PARENTS OF SPONSORED CHILDREN IN THE PHILIPPINES FORMED A PAMBUHAY (COMMUNITY GROUP) AND BEGAN A HOG-RAISING PROJECT WITH THE GOAL TO PROVIDE A BETTER FUTURE FOR THEIR CHILDREN. THE GROUP BORROWED MONEY FROM THE CFCA QUEZON PROJECT'S LIVELIHOOD FUND TO BUY THEIR FIRST BATCH OF PIGLETS. THE FUND IS A PROJECT INITIATIVE TO HELP PARENTS GENERATE CAPITAL FOR SMALL-SCALE LIVELIHOOD INITIATIVES. THE PIGLETS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO THE MEMBER FAMILIES, WHO RAISED THEM IN THEIR BACKYARDS. INITIALLY, THE FAMILIES SOLD THE MATURE HOGS TO THE LOCAL BUTCHER, BUT THEY SOON DISCOVERED THEY COULD EARN ADDITIONAL INCOME IF THEY SOLD PROCESSED MEAT. WITH TRAINING IN FOOD HANDLING AND PREPARATION FROM THE PHILIPPINES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, THE GROUP NOW TURNS THE BUTCHERED MEAT INTO TOCINO (BACON) AND LONGANIZA (SAUSAGE). MEMBERS OF THE GROUP USE THIS ADDITIONAL INCOME TO COVER THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF THEIR CHILDREN AND SAVE FOR THEIR FUTURE. ADDITIONALLY, THE GROUP IS INVESTING IN THEIR BUSINESS, AND IN THE POTENTIAL OF YOUTH AND THE FUTURE OF THE COMMUNITY. THEY PLAN TO OFFSET THE EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES OF ONE COLLEGE STUDENT WHO IS DETERMINED TO FINISH SCHOOL BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO, AND TO OPEN MEMBERSHIP TO OTHER FAMILIES IN THE CFCA PROGRAM SO THEY, TOO, CAN BECOME ECONOMICALLY STABLE.
