| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | WATER, WOMEN IN THESE COOPERATIVES ARE ABLE TO GROW VEGETABLES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR IN DESERT-LIKE CONDITIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. COOPERATIVE MEMBERS HARVEST VEGETABLES TO EITHER CONSUME AT HOME OR TO SELL IN LOCAL MARKETS. WOMEN AND GIRLS ALSO RECEIVE TRAINING IN THE CONSTRUCTION, USE, AND MAINTENANCE OF FUEL-EFFICIENT IMPROVED COOKSTOVES BUILT FROM FREE, LOCAL MATERIALS. THESE COOKSTOVES REDUCE FIREWOOD CONSUMPTION BY UP TO 70 PERCENT. CREATE FIELD TECHNICIANS ALSO WORK WITH COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO RESTORE LOST FOREST RESOURCES THROUGH ANNUAL TREE PLANTING CAMPAIGNS. THROUGH TRAINING IN POULTRY RAISING AND FINANCIAL LITERACY, CREATE PROGRAMS FOSTER ECONOMIC RESILIENCY AND BUILD CAPACITY WHILE HELPING COMMUNITIES ON THE PATH TOWARDS SELF-SUFFICIENCY. IN 2015, CREATE PARTNERED WITH EIGHT SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES IN RURAL SENEGAL. OUR PROGRAMS ARE UNIQUE BECAUSE WE STRIVE TO HELP WOMEN GAIN SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE SO THEY CAN "GRADUATE" FROM OUR PROGRAMS AND SUSTAINABLY EARN INCOMES WITHOUT OUR ONGOING SUPPORT. RECENTLY, AFTER FIVE YEARS OF TRAINING, THREE OF OUR PARTNER COMMUNITIES GRADUATED AND ARE NOW ABLE TO SELF-MANAGE THEIR GARDENS AND INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES. IN COMING YEARS, WE HOPE TO PARTNER WITH ADDITIONAL VILLAGES IN RURAL SENEGAL TO BRING RESIDENTS THE SKILLS THEY NEED FOR LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY AND SELF-DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. NEARLY 40 COMMUNITIES IN SENEGAL HAVE APPROACHED CREATE SEEKING TRAINING AND SUPPORT. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOODS FOR FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE A RELIABLE SOURCE OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME THROUGH THE SALE OF VEGETABLES IN LOCAL MARKETS. DURING THE AUTUMN 2015 RAINY SEASON, THIENEBA COOPERATIVE MEMBERS PLANTED 266 TREES WITHIN THE GARDEN SITE AND THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. THESE TREES WILL SHADE THE GARDEN AND THE VILLAGE AND WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF FOOD, INCOME, AND FIREWOOD IN THE FUTURE. VOLUNTARY SAVINGS AND LENDING ASSOCIATIONS (VSLA) MEET WEEKLY IN THIENEBA TO SAVE SMALL AMOUNTS OF MONEY AND MAKE LOANS TO EACH OTHER TO COVER BUSINESS, PERSONAL, AND HOUSEHOLD COSTS. THIENEBA COOPERATIVE MEMBERS ARE ALSO RAISING POULTRY TO SELL WITH TRAINING AND SUPPORT FROM CREATE FIELD TECHNICIANS. CREATE'S GOAL IS TO PROVIDE EXTENSIVE TRAINING TO COMMUNITIES LIKE THIENEBA SO THAT COOPERATIVE MEMBERS NO LONGER NEED ONGOING FINANCIAL AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT. CREATE FIELD TECHNICIANS ARE NOW WORKING WITH COOPERATIVE MEMBERS IN THIENEBA TO ESTABLISH COMMITTEES DESIGNED TO ASSUME PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND PLAN THE COMMUNITY'S GRADUATION FROM CREATE PROGRAMS. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C | IN 2015, CREATE FIELD TECHNICIANS ALSO BEGAN TRAINING COOPERATIVE MEMBERS IN THREE ADDITIONAL COMMUNITIES IN POULTRY PRODUCTION. VOLUNTEERS ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING POULTRY SHEDS IN THESE VILLAGES. |

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. CREATE FIELD TECHNICIANS TRAINED OVER 200 WOMEN AND MEN IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUES. NOW, COOPERATIVES IN ALL THREE COMMUNITIES ARE TENDING THRIVING GARDENS THAT PRODUCED HUNDREDS OF POUNDS OF VEGETABLES FOR SALE AND HOME USE IN 2015. DURING THE AUTUMN 2015 RAINY SEASON, COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS WORKED WITH COOPERATIVE MEMBERS TO DISTRIBUTE AND PLANT HUNDREDS OF TREE SEEDLINGS. IN AUTUMN 2015, CREATE FIELD TECHNICIANS LED TRAINING FOR COOPERATIVE MEMBERS IN VOLUNTARY SAVINGS AND LENDING ASSOCIATION (VSLA) STRATEGIES. VSLA MEMBERS IN THESE COMMUNITIES ARE NOW MEETING WEEKLY TO SAVE A PORTION OF THE PROFITS EARNED THROUGH THE SALE OF VEGETABLES AND REINVEST THOSE SAVINGS INTO OTHER INCOME GENERATING OPPORTUNITIES. IN WALO, GAGNICK MACK, AND DAROU DIADJI, COOPERATIVE MEMBERS ARE NOW RECEIVING TRAINING IN THE CARE OF POULTRY FLOCKS. IN 2016, CREATE FIELD TECHNICIANS WILL WORK WITH COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO CONSTRUCT POULTRY SHEDS AND HELP COOPERATIVE MEMBERS BEGIN TO RAISE CHICKENS. |
