MONITORING THE USE OF GRANTS OUTSIDE THE US SCHEDULE F, PART I, LINE 2 Children International (CI) operates internationally in eleven countries and serves more than 340,000 children. All of these field locations follow guidance as prescribed in a Field Manual (written and maintained by CI) outlining key procedures from child selection to program monitoring. The accounting portion of this manual describes the various procedures and controls surrounding the accounting of all funds sent from CI. As described in the accounting portion of the Field Manual, each field location is responsible to Kansas City for monthly and quarterly reports comparing actual results to budget and explaining significant variances. These reports are due by the 15th of the month following the month or quarter. In addition, each field location is subject to an annual audit conducted by an independent CPA firm and at least one audit performed by CI internal audit staff. A financial review involving "agreed upon procedures" is performed by the independent CPA firm at the 6 month mark of every fiscal year, focusing on testing of cash disbursements. The CI Regional Controllers also perform an internal review of each field location annually. Each program location prepares an annual budget based upon guidelines established by CI. These budgets are reviewed by CI regional office staff and ultimately by the CI Regional Directors, Director of International Finance, Director of Programs and VP of Programs at CI and the CI Executive Committee at CI Headquarters.

DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION'S MISSION FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 Children International's mission is to bring real and lasting change to children living in poverty. In partnership with contributors, we reduce their daily struggles, invest in their potential, and provide them with the opportunity to grow up healthy, educated and prepared to succeed and contribute to society.
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A & 4B LINE 4A ------- Each year that a child has the help and encouragement of sponsorship is a year that is better than the one before. From the time children enter our program as early as age 3 until they graduate at 19, sponsorship gives them numerous opportunities for improvement along the way. Beginning with basic support like health and dental care, educational assistance, shoes and clothing, sponsorship establishes a solid foundation for growth and development. As a childs health and overall well-being improve, they are given the chance to acquire valuable skills and get involved in positive activities through our various youth-oriented programs. Many of these transformational benefits and experiences take place at our community centers. The centers offer a critical network of support that is otherwise absent in the impoverished communities they serve, and weve continued to replace, renovate and add centers over the years to provide better services to children and families in dire need of help. In 2011, we added two new centers one in the Philippines and one in the Dominican Republic and we are in the process of completing two others in Honduras and Mexico. Weve also witnessed exponential growth in the number of participants attending the skills-building programs we offer: Game On! Youth Sports, Aflatoun and Into Employment. These programs offer specialized training in areas such as teamwork and leadership, community support, financial education, job-skills training and more. All told, more than 340,000 children and youth received support through the wide array of benefits, services and programs we were able to offer in 2011, thanks to our dedicated sponsors and donors. And we look forward to doing even more in the year to come. Education Every year of school is critical for children in developing countries. Studies by the World Bank indicate that providing girls with even one extra year of education beyond the average can boost their future wages by 10 to 20 percent, while money invested in primary education for boys has been found to produce returns of 5 to 15 percent. Sponsorship is contributing to those results over 95 percent of all the eligible school-age children in our program enrolled and passed their previous school year. That outcome is so high because sponsorship helps remove barriers to school completion. Children might receive school supplies or textbooks, depending on which items are needed most. Or they could receive school uniforms, assistance with required school fees, or transportation expenses. Sponsored children are also encouraged to visit our community center libraries, where they have access to resources such as computers, books and reference materials. Several of our centers even offer tutoring sessions, extracurricular classes and educational workshops. Beyond that, programs as wide-ranging as early childhood development classes to our HOPE Fund which helps qualified youth pursue a college degree or vocational training are helping prepare boys and girls for success in both school and life. Nutrition Maintaining a healthy diet has always been a challenge for impoverished families who sometimes spend as much as 80 percent of their incomes on food alone. In 2011, concerns about nutrition intensified as food prices reached historic highs. Dr. Armando Palomo, the health coordinator for our agency in Honduras, estimates that the amount of money once needed to feed a family of four for one month will now only feed a family for a week to 10 days. In the Philippines, where 40 percent of the population is classified as "food poor," malnutrition ranks as the third greatest health problem for sponsored children under 11. Our sponsorship agencies are confronting the problems of hunger and malnutrition head on, beginning with regular screenings for children under 12. Boys and girls who show signs of moderate to severe malnourishment are enrolled in our nutrition rehabilitation program, where they receive nutrient-rich foods. Meanwhile, children and their parents are encouraged to attend nutrition workshops and learn how to prepare healthy foods on shoestring budgets. In times of crisis, our Lifeline Food Program provides emergency food relief to families who face dire circumstances, such as a job loss, chronic illness, death or disasters. Lifeline has further enabled us to expand school feeding programs and provide food vouchers to families who habitually limit the number of meals they eat due to lack of food. Youth Sponsored youth are encouraged to join the Youth Program when they turn 12. Most start by attending Leadership Training workshops, which teach problem-solving and decision-making skills. Many then join our Youth Councils. The members elect representatives, organize volunteer efforts and administer our Youth Empowerment Fund, an annual endowment that gives youth the chance to implement projects that benefit their communities. The next step is often our Youth Health Corps (YHC). Participants are trained on health topics like preventable diseases, reproductive health and substance abuse and then share that knowledge with their peers. Besides that, they can also join Game On! Youth Sports, a community sports program hosted in partnership with the International Alliance for Youth Sports (IAYS)...Into Employment, our job-training program...and Aflatoun, a program which teaches young people how to manage and save money. As youth near graduation, those who actively participated in our programs report that they have a greater ability to stay healthy, reach their goals, solve problems and support themselves financially. Family and Community Support For sponsorship to be as effective as it needs to be, a childs home and community need to be as stable and supportive as possible. In a perfect world, that would include engaged and loving parents, a network of extended family members and a dynamic, positive community. Unfortunately, having all of those critical resources is rare for many poor children around the world. But Children Internationals sponsorship program helps fill in the gaps. For example, by offering parents educational seminars or workshops on health and nutrition we are able to strengthen and improve family life. Additionally, parents have opportunities to engage in volunteer work, so they can become active and visible role models in their neighborhoods. And when families in the sponsorship program face crises such as natural disasters, they know they can count on us to provide emergency assistance. Last year, our Lifeline Food Program provided vital food relief to thousands of families to help them endure the devastating effects of tropical storms, floods, fires and other disasters in the Philippines and in Central and South America. Plus, it helped mitigate the consequences of drastically rising food prices and issues of scarcity.
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS CONTINUED FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A & 4B LINE 4B ------- Children International reached deeper into impoverished communities. As an integral part of the sponsorship model, Children International builds community centers multi-function service centers offering medical and dental care, nutritional monitoring and a host of other services conveniently located in the heart of the communities where the sponsored children live. Because they are usually centrally located, children and their families can often walk to the centers, sparing them the time and expense of using public transportation. Many of the transformational sponsorship benefits and experiences take place at our community centers. The centers offer a critical network of support that is otherwise absent in the impoverished communities they serve, and weve continued to replace, renovate and add centers over the years to provide better services to children and families in dire need of help. In 2011, we added two new centers one in the Philippines and one in the Dominican Republic and we are in the process of completing two others in Honduras and Mexico. In addition, collaborating with businesses and organizations that share our humanitarian goals has made it possible to reach more children and families in need and provide those recipients with a wider array of benefits and services. In 2011, we teamed up with Black & Veatch, a global engineering, construction and consulting company, to build four tube wells near Kolkata, India. Approximately 300 families gained access to safe drinking water as a result. Another partnership we are proud of is with Purdue Pharma, L.P., which donated a vital medical antiseptic solution known as Betadine Microbicides. The antiseptic is commonly used in homes as a cleanser to prevent skin infections as well as a pre-surgical cleanser in hospitals. Thanks to the donation, physicians working with Children International in Chile and Honduras are using the antiseptic in their care and treatment of over 40,000 boys and girls. Its also worth noting that, in the 20 years since Children International received its first product donation, millions of children, youth, families and communities around the world have been the happy beneficiaries of donated goods and services. Also known as gifts-in-kind, the total worth of product donations this year amounted to nearly $59 million, the vast majority of which was textbooks and other educational materials.
FORM 990 REVIEW FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11A The 990 is prepared by the organizations accounting personnel. An independent accounting firm reviews the 990. After the 990 is reviewed by the independent accounting firm, it is then reviewed by members of Children Internationals executive management and accounting personnel. Each member of the Organizations Board of Directors receives a copy of the entire 990 and attached schedules. They are given a one to two week period of time during which each has an opportunity to review and comment on the information included in the return. If changes are needed as a result of the review, the draft is returned and updated to reflect the needed change and redistributed to the Board for a final review and electronically filed with the IRS.
MONITORING COMPLIANCE WITH CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C EVERY EMPLOYEE IS ASKED TO REVIEW THE ORGANIZATION'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY ANNUALLY AND DISCLOSE IF THERE ARE ANY CONFLICTS WHICH NEED TO BE COMMUNICATED TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN A STATEMENT REPRESENTING THAT THEY ARE NOT A PARTY TO ANY RELATIONSHIP THAT WOULD CREATE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST BETWEEN THE OFFICER/DIRECTOR AND THE ORGANIZATION.
