| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | KNOWLEDGE, PARTICIPATION, AND SOCIAL MOBILIZATION TO MAXIMIZE SELF-RELIANCE AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY. CREATE IS CURRENTLY WORKING WITH WOMEN'S COOPERATIVE GROUPS AND VILLAGE RESIDENTS IN EIGHT SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES IN RURAL SENEGAL. WITH THE TRAINING WE PROVIDE, OUR PARTNER COMMUNITIES WILL GAIN AGRICULTURAL AND ECONOMIC COMPETENCY AND WILL NO LONGER NEED ONGOING FINANCIAL AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT FROM CREATE WE ARE EXCITED THAT THREE COMMUNITIES WILL SOON BE PREPARED TO MANAGED AND EXPAND THEIR WATER, GARDEN, POULTRY, AND INCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIES TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES. OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IN SENEGAL IS TO "WORK OURSELVES OUT OF A JOB" AND WE ARE WELL ON OUR WAY TO ACHIEVING THIS GOAL AS BENEFICIARIES IN OUR PARTNER COMMUNITIES PROGRESS IN THEIR ABILITIES AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY. CREATE RECENTLY EXTENDED OUR PROGRAMS TO THREE ADDITIONAL COMMUNITIES IN THE RURAL GUINGUINEO DISTRICT OF SENEGAL. IN COMING YEARS, WE HOPE TO PARTNER WITH ADDITIONAL VILLAGES IN THIS REGION TO BRING RESIDENTS THE SKILLS THEY NEED FOR LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY AND SELF-DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | MEMBERS HAVE GROWN TOMATOES, EGGPLANT, PEPPERS, AFRICAN EGGPLANT, OKRA, CUCUMBERS, CARROTS, WATERMELONS, ONIONS, AND LETTUCE. DURING THE AUTUMN 2014 RAINY SEASON, THIENEBA COOPERATIVE MEMBERS PLANTED 45 TREE SEEDLINGS IN THE GARDEN SITE AND THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, IN ADDITION TO DISTRIBUTING 115 TREE SEEDLINGS TO COMMUNITY RESIDENTS. THESE TREES, INCLUDING ACACIA, PAPAYA, MANGO, NEEM, AND CASHEW, WILL SHADE THE GARDEN AND THE VILLAGE AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF FOOD, INCOME, AND FIREWOOD IN THE FUTURE. SINCE JULY 2014, VOLUNTARY SAVINGS AND LENDING ASSOCIATIONS (VSLA) IN THIENEBA HAVE BEEN MEETING WEEKLY. ASSOCIATION MEMBERS SAVE SMALL AMOUNTS OF MONEY EACH WEEK AND THEN MAKE LOANS TO EACH OTHER TO COVER BUSINESS, PERSONAL, AND HOUSEHOLD COSTS. IN EARLY 2015, THIENEBA COOPERATIVE MEMBERS WORKED WITH CREATE FIELD TECHNICIANS TO CONSTRUCT A POULTRY SHED IN THE COOPERATIVE GARDEN SITE. WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT FROM CREATE, COOPERATIVE MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO PRODUCE AND SELL CHICKENS TO IMPROVE THEIR DIET AND MAKE A PROFIT. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C | IN ADDITION TO INCREASING HOUSEHOLD INCOMES, INVESTING IN POULTRY PRODUCTION HAS ALSO IMPROVED THE DIETS OF LOCAL FAMILIES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4D | VIBRANT VILLAGE FOUNDATION WITH A GRANT FROM VIBRANT VILLAGE FOUNDATION, CREATE IS WORKING WITH LOCAL LEADERS IN THE RURAL COMMUNITES OF WALO, GAGNICK MACK, AND DAROU DIADJI TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES OF CLIMATE CHANGE, FOOD AND WATER INSECURITY, AND THE LACK OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES IN RURAL REGIONS. IN SPRING 2015, CREATE FIELD TECHNICIANS WORKED WITH TRADITIONAL WELL DIGGERS AND VOLUNTEERS IN THE COMMUNITIES OF WALO, GAGNICK MACK, AND DAROU DIADJI TO REHABILITATE COMMUNITY WELLS. TECHNICIANS ALSO MOBILIZED COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO INSTALL WATER BASINS, PIPING, AND A STRUCTURE FOR THE WATER RESERVOIR IN THE WALO GARDEN SITE. IN EACH OF THESE COMMUNITIES, CREATE FIELD TECHNICIANS WORKED WITH RESIDENTS TO CLEAR THE GARDEN SITES AND TO PARTICIPATE IN AGRICULTURE AND COMPOSTING TRAINING. CREATE IS TRAINING ABOUT 200 WOMEN IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUES AND MOBILIZING THEM INTO AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVES. IN WALO, COOPERATIVE MEMBERS ARE ALREADY HARVESTING VEGETABLES. ALTHOUGH CREATE'S PARTNERSHIPS WITH THESE COMMUNITIES ARE IN THEIR EARLY STAGES, RESIDENTS ALREADY REPORT BENEFITS FROM THEIR PARTICIPATION IN CREATE TRAINING PROGRAMS. WOMEN ARE GRATEFUL TO SAVE LABOR, TIME, AND MONEY BY USING THEIR IMPROVED COOKSTOVES. AS PART OF THIS PROJECT, WOMEN WILL ALSO RECEIVE TRAINING AND GAIN SKILLS IN POULTRY PRODUCTION, FINANCIAL LITERACY, AND THE CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF TREE NURSERIES. |
