FORM 990. PART XI, LINE 1	ACCOUNTING METHOD IS MODIFIED ACCRUAL
FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2:	HISTORY TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION, WAS INCORPORATED AS A 501(C)3 IN 2004. SINCE THEN, THE FOUNDATION HAS RUN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS IN VILLAGES OF RURAL CAMBODIA. THESE PROGRAMS ARE GUIDED BY THE TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION'S MISSION: BY PROVIDING TRAINING AND APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY, WE EMPOWER RURAL VILLAGERS TO CREATE SELF SUSTAINING PROGRAMS. OUR FOCUS INCLUDES WATER PROJECTS, SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION, AND COMMUNITY BASED DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO FOSTER HEALTHY FAMILIES, SUFFICIENT FOOD, AND SUSTAINABLE INCOMES. WE STRIVE TO PRESERVE THE CULTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VILLAGES WE WORK IN BY USING A PARTICIPATORY MODEL OF COMMUNITY BASED DEVELOPMENT. THIS MODEL ALLOWS THE VILLAGERS TO IDENTIFY THEIR NEEDS AND EMPOWERS THEM TO WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH US TO FIND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS TO THEIR MOST PRESSING NEEDS. TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION FIRST VISITED SRAS VILLAGE IN THE PROVINCE OF SIEM REAP CAMBODIA IN 2004. AT THAT TIME SRAS VILLAGE WAS IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE POOREST VILLAGES IN THE DISTRICT OF ANGKOR THOM. THE PEOPLE OF SRAS HAD NO ACCESS TO POTABLE WATER; 79% OF MEN AND 92% OF WOMEN WERE ILLITERATE; ONLY 15 CHILDREN OUT OF 600 HAD EVER ATTENDED SCHOOL; AND DISEASES LIKE MALARIA, DYSENTERY, AND DENGUE FEVER CLAIMED THE LIVES OF 1 OUT OF 7 CHILDREN BEFORE THE AGE OF FIVE YEARS OLD. SRAS VILLAGE HAD RECEIVED NO INTERNATIONAL AID AND THE VILLAGERS HAD LITTLE HOPE FOR RISING ABOVE THE WORLD BANK POVERTY DEFINITION OF "THE POOREST OF THE POOR." USING A MODEL OF PARTICIPATORY COMMUNITY BASED DEVELOPMENT, CHRIS AND SCOTT COATS, THE FOUNDERS OF TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION, BEGAN WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VILLAGERS IN THE ANGKOR THOM DISTRICT REGION TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVING CONDITIONS AND ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IN THE PAST EIGHT YEARS TRAILBLAZERS WORK HAS RESULTED IN ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER THROUGH THE INSTALLATION OF OVER 500 WELLS AND APPROXIMATELY 3,000 BIO-SAND WATER FILTERS, PROVIDED ACCESS TO WATER FOR OVER 6,000 PEOPLE, PROVIDED POTABLE WATER TO OVER 100,000 INDIVIDUALS, CONSTRUCTION OF FOUR GOVERNMENT PRIMARY SCHOOL BILDINGS AND ONE LIBRARY FOR A PRIMARY / JUNIOR-HIGH SCHOOL COMPLEX, ACCESS TO VOCATIONAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES, AND 11 VILLAGE-RUN SELF-SUSTAINING BANKS THAT MANAGE 87 ACTIVE MICRO-LOANS. THE VILLAGE-RUN BANKS OFFER MICRO-LOANS TO ITS OWN RESIDENTS PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EACH VILLAGER TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVELIHOOD AND LIVING CONDITIONS. SIX YEARS AFTER INCEPTION, VILLAGE BANK FUNDS HAVE GROWN TO THE EQUIVALENT OF MORE THAN $3,362 USD. THIS IS SIGNIFICANT IN A REGION WHERE THE AVERAGE WAGE IS LESS THAN 25 CENTS A DAY. THE VILLAGE BANK IS TRULY THEIR OWN, AS TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION HAS NOT CONTRIBUTED ANY MONEY TO ITS FUNDS. VILLAGE FUNDS ARE USED FOR THE PURCHASE OF LIVESTOCK AND FERTILIZERS, PURCHASE OF RICE, PAYING FOR MEDICAL CARE COSTS, FUNERAL, OR CEREMONY FOR BECOMING A MONK, STARTING UP A SMALL BUSINESS, HOME IMPROVEMENTS, PURCHASE OF MOTORBIKE OR BICYCLE, AND MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT TO ROAD - NOT A LOAN. TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION FOSTERED THIS SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE AMONG THE PEOPLE OF ANGKOR THOM DISTRICT AND AS OF TODAY, HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES HAVE RISEN TWO FULL POVERTY LEVELS. ACCORDING TO THE WORLD BANK'S POVERTY INDICATORS, THEY ARE NOW JUST "POOR" BUT WITH THEIR NEW SKILLS AND WATER RESOURCES THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SUSTAINABLY IMPROVE THEIR LIVES. THESE RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN EMPOWERED TO LIVE SUSTAINABLY WITHOUT A CONTINUING INFLUX OF INTERNATIONAL AID. ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION IS HEADQUARTERED IN JACKSON, WY, USA. DURING THE YEAR, CO-FOUNDERS, CHRIS AND SCOTT COATS EACH WORKED AN AVERAGE OF 40 HOURS PER WEEK FOR THE ORGANIZATION FOR A SMALL SALARY. TF'S HOME OFFICE WAS STAFFED BY ONE PART-TIME OFFICE MANAGER. TRAILBLAZER CAMBODIA ORGANIZATION (TCO) WAS REGISTERED AS AN INDIGENOUS NGO IN 2008 WITH THE CAMBODIAN MINISTRY OF INTERIOR. LOCAL CAMBODIANS FILL THE TWO MANAGEMENT POSITIONS AND SERVE AS THE MAIN POINT OF CONTACT IN CAMBODIA. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES ARE PROVIDED FOR MANAGEMENT STAFF THAT ASSUMED FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TCO OFFICE AND PROVIDE A LONG-TERM PRESENCE IN THE REGION. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES IN 2012 TCO SEPARATED FROM TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION AND BECAME ITS OWN INDIGENOUS NGO. THEY NOW MANAGE THEIR OWN NON-PROFIT. THE SKILLS THEY LEARNED WHILE WORKING WITH TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION ENABLED AND GAVE THEM THE CONFIDENCE TO START THEIR OWN BUSINESS, WHICH IS PART OF TRAILBLAZER'S MISSION: TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITES FOR SELF-EMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE. THIS IS ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER STORY OF SUCCESS INDEVELOPING SELF-SUSTAINING OPPORTUNITIES THAT GROW LOCAL TALENTS. USING THE SUCCESS OF OUR WORK WITH OUR PILOT MODEL, SRAS VILLAGE, TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION IS REPLICATING THIS COMMUNITY-BASED SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT MODEL IN THE SURROUNDING REGION AND CURRENTLY IS WORKING, DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY IN OVER 35 RURAL VILLAGES, TOUCHING THE LIVES OF OVER 40,000 RESIDENTS. TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION ACCOMPLISHES ITS MISSION IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS. PROJECTS/FIELDWORK: 1.

AS BASIC NEEDS ARE MET, TF STAFF ENCOURAGES AND MENTORS VILLAGERS TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN VILLAGE BANK AND BEGIN A VILLAGE-RUN MICROLOAN PROGRAM TO FOSTER SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT APPROACH: 1. WE USE A COMMUNITY PARTICIPATORY EMPOWERMENT APPROACH, I.E. A BOTTOM UP SUSTAINABLE IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH, INVOLVING VILLAGE REQUESTED AND BACKED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. 2. EMPOWERMENT AND EQUITABLE PARTICIPATION OF THE VILLAGERS (BENEFICIARIES) ARE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR SUSTAINABLE OUTCOMES ROLE: 1. OUR ROLE IS TO IMPLEMENT SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY-BASED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AND, AS REQUESTED AND APPROPRIATE, ACT AS ADVISORS TO AND CONDUITS FOR OTHER NGOS PERFORMING SIMILAR WORK. GEOGRAPHY/GROWTH: 1. WE IMPLEMENT SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS WITHIN CAMBODIA, AND GROW THE ORGANIZATION IN A MANNER THAT MAINTAINS THE INTEGRITY OF THE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATORY EMPOWERMENT MODEL 2.

IN 2011, CONSTRUCTION OF A SCHOOL LIBRARY FOR THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY LEVEL SCHOOL COMPLEX IN SVAY CHEK VILLAGE WAS COMPLETED. THE TOTAL COST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE LIBRARY WAS $18,242. THE LIBRARY SERVES THE SVAY CHEK COMMUNE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS, FOR WHICH STUDENTS FROM SEVERAL VILLAGES IN THE AREA ATTEND. THE LIBRARY SIZE IS: 9 X 16 METERS, 1 ROOM IS SMALLER FOR THE TEACHER'S OFFICE, THE OTHER ROOM WILL BE THE LIBRARY.

HIGH LEVEL STUDENTS (4 CLASSES BETWEEN GRADES 7-9) OF WHICH 119 ARE FEMALE. THE CURRICULUM AND BOOKS WERE SUPPLIED BY THE CAMBODIAN MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND/OR OTHER EDUCATIONAL RELATED GOVERNMENT OFFICES. THE BUILDING OF A LIBRARY WAS IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY BY THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND AT THE 2009 ANGKOR THOM DISTRICT INTEGRATED ANNUAL WORKSHOP. ADDITIONALLY, MR. PHAL SOVANN, THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF ALL PRIMARY EDUCATION FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNE, APPROACHED TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION AND ASKED IF WE WOULD BUILD THIS LIBRARY TO SERVE THE STUDENTS OF THE 4-5 VILLAGES IN THE AREA. IT IS HOPED THAT EVENTUALLY THIS LIBRARY WILL ALSO BE USED TO CONDUCT CLASSES IN ENGLISH AND COMPUTER. IN 2010, TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ANGKOR THOM DISTRICT, BUILT A 3 CLASSROOM KINDERGARTEN SCHOOL IN PHLONG VILLAGE, LEANG DAI COMMUNE. THIS KINDERGARTEN CAN ACCOMMODATE 90 STUDENTS IN EACH SESSION AND WILL PROVIDE CARE AND BASIC EDUCATION, BETTER PREPARING THESE CHILDREN FOR HIGHER LEVELS OF EDUCATION. THE KINDERGARTEN WAS A DISTRICT INITIATIVE TO PROMOTE WOMEN DEVELOPMENT BY HAVING A FACILITY WHERE WOMEN COULD SAFELY TAKE THEIR CHILDREN AND ATTEND VOCATIONAL TRAINING AT THE WOMEN'S DEVELOPMENT CENTER [WDC] ACROSS THE ROAD. THE WDC WAS A MINISTRY OF WOMAN AFFAIRS PROJECT TO PROVIDE VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR THE WOMEN FROM THE FOUR SURROUNDING VILLAGES: PHLONG, LEANG DAI, DOUN OV, AND TRA PEANG SVAY. WOMEN FROM THESE VILLAGES NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN TRAINING ON MAT AND SILK WEAVING, SEWING, BASKET MAKING, COOKING, RUG MAKING, AND OTHER HANDICRAFT ITEMS.

THIS NEW SCHOOL BUILDING CAN ACCOMMODATE THE 480 STUDENTS. THE CURRENT NUMBER OF STUDENTS WAS 374 [185 FEMALE, 89 MALE]. OF THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ATTENDING 49% ARE FEMALE.
