SCHEDULE G, PART I, LINE 2B FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS ARE MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH A VARIETY OF FUNDING METHODS, INCLUDING CHILD SPONSORSHIP, A CONTINUITY PROGRAM WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL AGREES TO SPONSOR A CHILD BY MEANS OF ONGOING MONTHLY CONTRIBUTIONS. DUE TO THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL AND CHILD, MANY SPONSORS CONTINUE THEIR COMMITMENT FOR MULTIPLE YEARS. BECAUSE OF THIS LONGEVITY, IT IS NECESSARY, WHEN LOOKING AT THE VALUE OF A FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN, TO CONSIDER THE INCOME GENERATED BY THOSE SPONSORS OVER SEVERAL YEARS. THEREFORE, INCOME RESULTING FROM FUNDRAISING SPENDING IN FISCAL YEAR 2022 WILL BE REALIZED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, 78% OF ALL EXPENDITURES WERE USED TO PROVIDE BENEFITS AND SERVICES TO CHILDREN, YOUTH, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES IN DESPARATE NEED.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION'S MISSION WE CONNECT PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD IN THE FIGHT TO END POVERTY. WORKING TOGETHER, WE INVEST IN THE LIVES OF CHIDLREN AND YOUTH, BUILD THE HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS THEY NEED TO THRIVE, AND EMPOWER THEM TO CREATE LASTING CHANGE IN THEIR OWN LIVES AND COMMUNITIES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL CREATES PERSONAL, TRANSFORMATIVE AND IMPACTFUL RELATIONSHIPS AND OFFERS SUPPORTERS A WAY TO INVEST IN THE HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT OF A CHILD WITH THE ULTIMATE FOCUS ON EMPLOYABILITY TO HELP ITS GRADUATES BREAK THE GENERATIONAL CYCLE OF POVERTY. THIS IS DONE PRIMARILY THROUGH LOCALLY STAFFED COMMUNITY CENTERS AND VOLUNTEERS. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL HAS SET FORTH A VISION OF BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER TO END POVERTY FOR GOOD. ITS AIM IS TO CREATE A WORLD WITHOUT POVERTY WHERE EVERY CHILD, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY IS CONNECTED, PRODUCTIVE AND THRIVING. THE ORGANIZATION CONNECTS PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, FACILITATING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS AND PARTNERSHIPS ACROSS SOCIOECONOMIC AND CULTURAL BOUNDARIES. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL BELIEVES EVERYONE SHARES THIS BASIC HUMAN RIGHT: TO LIVE FREE FROM POVERTY FOR GOOD. ITS APPROACH TO ACHIEVING THIS VISION FOCUSES ON FIVE SPECIFIC CORE AREAS: HEALTH SERVICES, ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE, ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND LEARNING, EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING AND YOUTH EMPLOYABILITY. THROUGH ITS PROGRAMS, THE ORGANIZATION STRATEGICALLY PROVIDES THE SERVICES, TRAINING AND OPPORTUNITIES CHILDREN AND YOUTH NEED TO BECOME PRODUCTIVE ADULTS. IN MARCH 2020, DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, PROGRAMS MOVED TO VIRTUAL PLATFORMS WHEREVER POSSIBLE. IN 2022, COMMUNITY CENTERS REOPENED AND SOME PROGRAMMING ADJUSTED BACK TO IN PERSON. ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE "DEMAND GENERATION" REFERS TO CI'S NEW HEALTHCARE APPROACH WHICH INCLUDES FOUR KEY COMPONENTS: IMPROVING PARTNERSHIPS, STRENGTHENING THE REFERRAL NETWORK, STRENGTHENING THE HEALTH SYSTEM, AND SOCIAL MARKETING. THESE INTENTIONAL STRATEGIC ACTIONS ARE DESIGNED TO DEFINE AND IMPROVE OUR ROLE AS AN NGO SUPPORTING GLOBAL EFFORTS TO ALLEVIATE THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. NUTRITIONAL REHABILITATION CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL'S NUTRITION REHABILITATION PROBRAM TARGETS MODERATELY AND SEVERELY UNDERNOURISHED CHILDREN AGES 3-11 THROUGH AN INTENSIVE NUTRITION REHABILITATION PROGRAM. IN THE PAST, THE PROGRAM HAS INCLUDED GROUP GROWTH MONITORING, CHECKUPS, SUPPLEMENTS, FEEDING SESSIONS AND NUTRITION EDUCATION FOR CAREGIVERS. IN 2021, THE NUTRITION REHABILITATION PROGRAM FOCUSED ON IN-HOME IMPLEMENTATION AND NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT DELIVERY (FOOD BASKETS, VOUCHERS, OR MOBILE MONEY TRANSFERS), GROWTH MONITORING, MEDICAL ATTENTION, AND EDUCATION. ADDITIONALLY, WE DISTRIBUTED THOUSANDS OF EASY-TO-USE MUACZ TAPES TO VOLUNTEERS AND CAREGIVERS, EMPOWERING THEM TO MEASURE MID UPPER ARM CIRCUMFERENCE (MUAC) TO MONITOR THE GROWTH OF CHILDREN IN THE PROGRAM. HEALTH SERVICES (MEDICAL & DENTAL) THROUGH THE MEDICAL SERVICES PROGRAM, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL MAKES SURE OUR ENTIRE SPONSORED POPULATION HAS ACCESS TO BASIC MEDICAL SERVICES, SUCH AS EXAMS, MEDICINES AND SUPPLIES, FREE AND LOW-COST REFERRALS FOR SPECIALIZED CARE, AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR MEDICAL EMERGENCIES. WE PROVIDE THESE SERVICES BOTH DIRECTLY-THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY CENTERS AND TELEHEALTH CONSULTS WITH OUR OWN MEDICAL STAFF AND BY COLLABORATING WITH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERS. WE ALSO HELP OUR POPULATION UNDERSTAND WHEN AND WHY THEY NEED - AND DESERVE - HEALTH CARE SERVICES. WE USE EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS, HOME VISITS AND OTHER SUPPORTS TO ENCOURAGE OUR FAMILIES TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL CLOSED ITS DENTAL CLINICS IN MARCH 2020 AND REFOCUSED ON TELE-DENTAL CONSULTATIONS AND EXTERNAL REFERRALS FOR URGENT NEEDS. CI CLINICS IN MOST LOCATIONS REMAINED CLOSED FOR THE MAJORITY OF 2021, AND HEALTH SERVICE ACCESS WAS ENSURED THROUGH TELEMEDICINE/DENTAL, REFERRALS AND IN SOME CASES - WHEN POLICIES ALLOWED - IN PERSON. SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY THE SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY PROGRAM HELPS COMMUNITIES HOLD THEIR GOVERNMENTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR RELIABLE, HIGH-QUALITY HEALTH SERVICES THROUGH THE COMMUNITY SCORE CARD (CSC) PROCESS. THE CSC BRINGS COMMUNITY MEMBERS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER TO EVALUATE THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENT CLINICS, IDENTIFY GAPS IN THEIR HEALTH SYSTEMS, AND COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOP A PLAN TO IMPROVE CARE. SCORING TAKES PLACE EVERY SIX MONTHS SO TEAMS CAN MONITOR THEIR PROGRESS OVER TIME. THE CSC PROCESS WAS ADAPTED BY CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN COMMUNITIES AND THEIR GOVERNMENT SERVICE PROVIDERS; INCREASE SERVICE AVAILABILITY, ACCESS, USE AND QUALITY; AND BUILD MORE RESPONSIVE AND INCLUSIVE LOCAL GOVERNMENT HEALTH SYSTEMS. ACCESS TO EDUCATION, CONTINUED LEARNING, AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING. ACCESS TO EDUCATION SUPPORT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, IN THE FORM OF BOTH GRANTS FOR EDUCATION AND SCHOLARSHIPS, REPRESENTS THE LARGEST PROGRAM WITHIN THE EDUCATIONAL PORTFOLIO, IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS AND THE BUDGET. THE ACCESS SUPPORT IS CRITICAL IN ENSURING THAT CHILDREN AND YOUTH ARE SUPPORTED ADEQUATELY TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION ONLINE. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES RESOURCES FOR INTERNET ACCESS, PRINTING AND PHOTO COPY COSTS, ACCESS TO DEVICES, PAYMENT OF SCHOOL FEES, SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND ALSO TRANSPORTATION AND UNIFORM COSTS WHERE APPLICABLE. CONTINUED LEARNING THE CONTINUED LEARNING PROGRAM PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY FOR AGENCIES TO RESPOND TO SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THE POPULATION AND TEST OUT DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO PROVIDE CONTINUING EDUCATION (EITHER TO CONNECT TO FORMAL SCHOOLING OR PROVIDE ENGAGEMENT AND CONTINUED LEARNING OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL). THESE PROGRAMS DO NOT FIT INTO OUR TRADITIONAL CATEGORIES. EACH OF THESE PROGRAM ARE FOCUSED ON SPECIFIC NEEDS BASED ON LOCAL CONTEXT AND IN SOME CASES COMBINE MULTIPLE STRATEGIES. DIGITAL LEARNING & TECHNOLOGY IN RESPONSE TO CHANGES MADE DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, SUCH AS STAFF WORKING FROM HOME, THE CLOSURE OF COMMUNITY CENTERS AND ADAPTING FACE-TO-FACE PROGRAMS TO VIRTUAL MODE, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL SOUGHT TO STRENGTHEN DIGITAL LEARNING AND TECHNOLOGY-IDENTIFYING PRIORITY AREAS WHERE SUPPORT AND TRAINING WAS MOST NEEDED. AFLATOUN CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS WITH AFLATOUN INTERNATIONAL TO TEACH YOUNG PEOPLE SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL SKILLS. BASED IN THE NETHERLANDS, AFLATOUN HAS TEACHER TRAININGS AND A CUSTOMIZABLE CURRICULUM THAT CAN BE ADAPTED TO LOCAL CLUBS' NEEDS. THE CURRICULUM COVERS PERSONAL UNDERSTANDING AND EXPLORATION, RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, SAVING AND SPENDING, PLANNING AN BUDGETING, AND SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL ENTERPRISE. TUTORING THE TUTORING PROGRAM HELPS STUDENTS SUCCEED IN SCHOOL WITH ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE ALIGNED WITH LOCAL CURRICULA. TRADITIONALLY, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL TUTORING PROGRAMS MEET TWO TO THREE TIMES PER WEEK WITH TRAINED TUTORS. EDUCATIONAL STRENGTHENING INITITATIVE: CHILD AID PARTNERSHIP CHILD AID IS A PORTLAND-BASED EDUCATION ORGANIZATION (CERTIFIED BY THE GUATEMALAN MINISTRY OF EDUCATION) THAT INVESTS IN TEACHERS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE EDUCATION OUTCOMES. IN 2020, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL AND CHILD AID LAUNCHED A FOUR-YEAR PILOT IN GUATEMALA TO BOOST THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION IN THE COMMUNITY OF SANTA APOLONIA, WITHIN THE SERVICE AREA OF THE TECPN COMMUNITY CENTER. THE PILOT'S GOALS WERE TO TRAIN TEACHERS AT MARIO MENDEZ MONTENEGRO SCHOOL AND CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL TUTORS WITH FULL-DAY WORKSHOPS AND ONE-ON-ONE COACHING SESSIONS. OBJECTIVES INCLUDED INCREASING MATH AND LITERACY SCORES OF THE MORE THAN 600 STUDENTS IMPACTED (INCLUDING CI-SPONSORED CHILDREN), IMPROVING TEACHERSTUTORS' QUALITY OF INSTRUCTION, AND LEARNING HOW TO PARTNER WITH SCHOOLS AND IMPROVE SCHOOL QUALITY. YOUTH COUNCIL AND LEADERSHIP CI'S YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM TEACHES YOUTH THE SKILLS NEEDED TO BECOME LEADERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. MANY OF THESE YOUTH HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO USE THESE SKILLS AS PART OF CI'S YOUTH COUNCIL. YOUTH COUNCIL MEMBERS PRACTICE DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES AND DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS WHILE PLANNING AND EXECUTING THEIR OWN PROJECTS. PARTICIPANTS ARE ELECTED BY THEIR PEERS AND LEARN TO WORK TOGETHER AND CARE FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES BY IMPLEMENTING PROJECTS TO HELP SOLVE LOCAL PROBLEMS. EACH YOUTH COUNCIL IS AWARDED AN ANNUAL GRANT - A YOUTH EMPOWERMENT FUND - TO INVEST IN THOSE COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A CONTINUED ADOLESCENT HEALTH THE ADOLESCENT HEALTH PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF ADOLESCENTS BY PROVIDING ACCURATE, COMPREHENSIVE INFORMATION ON THE TOPICS OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS. REDESIGNED IN COLLABORATION WITH GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, THE PROGRAM EMPHASIZES PREVENTIVE HEALTH BEHAVIOR, SUCH AS SAFE SEX, CONTRACEPTIVE CHOICES, AND COMBATTING PEER PRESSURE. EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING THE EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING PROGRAM (PREVIOUSLY CALLED THE RESILIENCE PROGRAM IN 2020) TEACHES CHILDREN AND YOUTH HOW TO SELF-CARE, SELF-CALM AND IDENTIFY EMOTIONS. THE PROGRAM IS BASED ON CURRICULUM DEVELOPED BY TURNING POINT-PART OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS HEALTH SYSTEM. LIVING IN POVERTY LEADS TO STRESS AND EMOTIONAL STRAIN, WHICH MAKES IT THAT MUCH HARDER TO BREAK OUT. THIS PROGRAM HELPS YOUNG PEOPLE BUILD VITAL LIFE SKILLS, SO THEY CAN STAY MENTALLY HEALTHY AND ON THE PATH OUT OF POVERTY. EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS EMPLOYMENT IS THE LAST PIECE IN THE BREAKING-FREE-FROM-POVERTY PUZZLE. IN ADDITION TO HEALTH, EDUCATION AND EMPOWERMENT, A JOB GIVES YOUNG PEOPLE STABILITY, PURPOSE AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. CI WORKS TO ELIMINATE BARRIERS BETWEEN OUR YOUTH AND QUALITY EMPLOYMENT. YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING IN POVERTY OFTEN HAVE LESS INFORMATION ABOUT THE JOB MARKET, AND LESS ACCESS TO JOB-READINESS RESOURCES. BARRIERS TO EDUCATION, TECHNICAL TRAINING AND LIFE-SKILLS DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTE TO THE GAP. EARLY PREGNANCY AND/OR MARRIAGE CAN ALSO PREVENT YOUNG WOMEN FROM PURSUING WORK. INTO EMPLOYMENT TECHNICAL TRAINING, JOB-READINESS SKILLS AND JOB-PLACEMENT SUPPORT CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE TO UNDERPRIVILEGED YOUNG PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO BREAK INTO THE FORMAL JOB MARKET. INTO EMPLOYMENT PROVIDES PARTICIPANTS WITH SPECIALIZED TECHNICAL AND JOB SKILLS TRAINING, TAILORED TO THE GAPS IN LOCAL LABOR MARKETS. THE PROGRAM HELPS YOUNG PEOPLE DEVELOP THEIR TECHNICAL, JOB-READINESS AND LIFE SKILLS; FIND A STABLE JOB; AND CREATE A LONG-TERM CAREER PLAN. POST-SECONDARY SCHOLARSHIPS (HOPE) COLLEGE AND TECHNICAL SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS REDUCE THE BARRIERS TO CONTINUING EDUCATION, WHICH CAN HELP OUR SPONSORED YOUTH COMPETE FOR HIGHER-PAYING, QUALITY JOBS. THE HOPE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IS A COMPETITIVE, RENEWABLE POST-SECONDARY GRANT FOR UNIVERSITY AND VOCATIONAL SCHOOL STUDENTS. STUDENTS HAVE TO APPLY FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP AND MEET CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS TO KEEP IT (SUCH AS MINIMUM GRADES, VOLUNTEER HOURS AND COMPLETING THE ACADEMIC YEAR). SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS RECEIVE JOB-READINESS AND LIFE-SKILLS TRAINING IN ADDITION TO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. CAREER READINESS JOB-READINESS SKILLS, CAREER-APPLICABLE LIFE SKILLS AND JOB-PLACEMENT SUPPORT GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO FIND-AND COMPETE FOR-QUALITY EMPLOYMENT. THE CAREER READINESS PROGRAM HELPS YOUNG PEOPLE PREPARE TO ENTER THE MODERN WORKFORCE THROUGH A VARIETY OF WORKSHOPS (RSUM WRITING, MOCK INTERVIEWS, JOB SEARCHING) AND EXPERIENCES (JOB FAIRS, VISITS TO LOCAL COMPANIES, MOTIVATIONAL TALKS). THIS HANDS-ON CAREER COUNSELING HELPS PARTICIPANTS UNDERSTAND HOW THEIR SKILLS MATCH THE MARKETPLACE AND GUIDES THEM TOWARD MEANINGFUL, STABLE EMPLOYMENT WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY STRENGTHENING THE LOCAL JOB ECONOMY. ENTREPRENEURSHIP THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM TEACHES PARTICIPANTS BOTH LIFE SKILLS AND BUSINESS FUNDAMENTALS. THE GOAL? CREATING AND OPERATING A SMALL BUSINESS TO GENERATE INCOME AND SELF-RELIANCE. PARTICIPANTS ARE SELECTED FOR THE PROGRAM BASED ON NEED, MOTIVATION AND INDEPENDENT INITIATIVE. ADDITIONAL PROGRAM SUMMARIES ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE WHEN IT BECAME CLEAR THAT EARLY PANDEMIC SHUTDOWNS WERE GOING TO LAST FOR MUCH LONGER THAN ANYONE ANTICIPATED, AGENCIES REPURPOSED BUDGET SAVINGS TO THE FAMILIES THEY SERVE IN MORE DIRECT WAYS: CASH TRANSFERS, FOOD VOUCHERS, FOOD BASKETS AND HEALTH KITS. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL TRUSTS FAMILIES WILL KNOW BEST HOW TO SPEND THIS DIRECT ASSISTANCE -WHETHER ON FOOD, RENT, HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, DATA PLANS, OR OTHER URGENT NEEDS. CONNECTING WITH FAMILIES WHEN COMMUNITY CENTERS CLOSED AT THE ONSET OF THE PANDEMIC, AGENCY TEAMS BEGAN TO REACH OUT TO FAMILIES TO ASSESS THEIR CURRENT NEEDS, CONNECT THEM TO SERVICES, AND HELP SPONSORED CHILDREN FAMILIES TO ASSESS THEIR CURRENT NEEDS, CONNECT THEM TO SERVICES, AND HELP SPONSORED CHILDREN CONTINUE WITH ONLINE SCHOOLING AND STAY ENGAGED WITH VIRTUAL CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS. WHAT BEGAN AS A SIMPLE NECESSITY-STAYING IN TOUCH WITH THE FAMILIES WE SERVE-SOON BECAME A POWERFUL TOOL FOR CONNECTION. ALL AGENCIES NOW HAVE DEDICATED TEAMS, BUDGETS AND STRATEGIES FOR CONNECTING WITH FAMILIES. AGENCIES CONTACT SPONSORED FAMILIES AT LEAST ONCE A QUARTER AND AIM TO REACH AT LEAST 75 PERCENT OF THEIR POPULATIONS. CHILD SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL IMPLEMENTS A CHILD SAFEGUARDING POLICY AND PROTOCOLS TO SAFEGUARD CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES. GENERALLY, THE IMPLEMENTATION CAN BE CATEGORIZED INTO THE PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE IN THE FORM OF THE TRAINING OF STAFF, VOLUNTEERS, CHILDREN AND YOUTH AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS, AND THE REPORTING AND THE SUPPORT OF ALL CASES OF ABUSE TO SPONSORED CHILDREN AND YOUTHS. CI PROVIDES PSYCHOLOGICAL, MEDICAL, LEGAL, FINANCIAL, AND OTHER SUPPORT TO SPONSORED CHILDREN AND YOUTHS WHO EXPERIENCE ABUSE AND ENDANGERMENT. CRITICAL SUPPORT AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRENGTHENING EFFORTS POVERTY STOPLIGHT THE POVERTY STOPLIGHT IS A FAMILY-LED MULTIDIMENSIONAL POVERTY REDUCTION INTERVENTION THAT HAS BEEN USED BY HUNDREDS OF ORGANIZATIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD. FAMILIES SELF-ASSESS (RED, YELLOW OR GREEN) THEIR POVERTY INDICATORS, INCLUDING INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT, HOUSING AND INFRASTRUCTURE, ORGANIZATION AND PARTICIPATION, EDUCATION AND CULTURE, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT, AND CHARACTER AND MOTIVATION. CI SUPPORTS FAMILIES AS THEY IDENTIFY SOLUTIONS TO THE INDICATORS THEY WANT TO WORK ON, MONITOR THEIR PROGRESS, AND LEARN FROM SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES. COMMUNITY INDEPENDENCE INITIATIVE (CII) IN 2021, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL CONTINUED TO COLLABORATE WITH ROOT CHANGE AND MAURICIO MILLER, FOUNDER OF THE FAMILY INDEPENDENCE INITIATIVE, ON THIS PILOT PROJECT, WHICH WILL RUN THROUGH APRIL 2022. THE COMMUNITY INDEPENDENCE INITIATIVE (CII) IS A SUSTAINABLE, COMMUNITY-BASED MODEL THAT IS PEERLED. IT OFFERS PARTICIPATING FAMILIES A STRUCTURE AND A PLATFORM TO SET THEIR OWN GOALS, MONITOR THEIR PROGRESS, STRENGTHEN THEIR SOCIAL NETWORKS, SHARE WHAT THEY LEARN, AND DECIDE HOW TO USE THE SMALL INVESTMENTS THE PROGRAM PROVIDES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B COMMUNITY CENTERS & CARING ADULTS CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL PROVIDES ITS MOST COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS WITHIN ITS COMMUNITY CENTERS. NEWER, STATE-OF-THE-ART, FACILITIES HAVE SPECIFIC YOUTH ROOMS AND AREAS, WHICH ARE SEPARATE FROM THE GATHERING SPACES FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN, TO ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION AND ENHANCE YOUTH ACTIVITIES. WHILE BUILDINGS ARE IMPORTANT, THEY AREN'T WHAT MAKE CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL'S PROGRAMS A SUCCESS; IT'S THE PEOPLE WHO INVEST IN THE CHILDREN AND YOUTH WHO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. LOCAL VOLUNTEERS CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL WOULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT ITS THOUSANDS OF VOLUNTEERS. GLOBALLY, MORE THAN 5,300 INDIVIDUALS VOLUNTEER IN SUPPORT OF CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL. THESE TRAINED VOLUNTEERS - TYPICALLY THE PARENTS OF SPONSORED CHILDREN AND YOUTH - CONDUCT FAMILY VISITS IN SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS, ARE THE FIRST TO KNOW ABOUT LOCAL AND DOMESTIC SITUATIONS AND SERVE AS AN INVALUABLE CONDUIT OF INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE. IN THE PAST, VOLUNTEERS HAVE SUPPORTED CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL DURING NATURAL DISASTERS, UNREST AND OTHER DISRUPTIONS; THEIR CONTINUED RESILIENCE WAS A KEY FACTOR IN 2021. WHEN THE PANDEMIC BEGAN, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL TRANSITIONED TO SUPPORTING OUR VOLUNTEERS ONLINE. VOLUNTEERS WERE TRAINED TO USE NEW VIRTUAL PLATFORMS AND TO USE NEW ONLINE PROCESSES (OBTAINING REQUIREMENTS, DISTRIBUTING GIFTS), SO CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL COULD CONTINUE OPERATING DURING THE PANDEMIC. SOME VOLUNTEERS RECEIVED HELP WITH INTERNET ACCESS SO THEY COULD CONNECT CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. THESE INDIVIDUALS ALSO SUPPORT PROGRAMMING THAT TEACHES CHILDREN AND YOUTH HOW TO ORGANIZE PROJECTS AND BE LEADERS. THEN, THESE DEDICATED ADULTS ENCOURAGE YOUTH TO GIVE BACK THROUGH TUTORING YOUNGER CHILDREN AND LEADING COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO SERVE FOR DECADES - WELL AFTER THEIR OWN CHILDREN HAVE GRADUATED FROM CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL'S PROGRAM. PROFESSIONAL STAFF THE ORGANIZATION'S WORKFORCE IS COMPRISED OF IN-COUNTRY NATIONALS, INCLUDING DOCTORS, DENTISTS, NUTRITIONISTS, AGENCY DIRECTORS, TEACHERS AND LIBRARIANS. THESE PROFESSIONALS SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE AND DIALECT OF THE FAMILIES AND UNDERSTAND THE LOCAL CHALLENGES, CUSTOMS, LAWS AND SOCIAL NETWORKS OF THE COMMUNITIES WHERE OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVE. ALLIANCES AND PARTNERSHIPS COLLABORATION IS THE KEY TO COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE. THAT'S WHY CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL IS COMMITTED TO SECURING PARTNERSHIPS FOR GRANT FUNDING AND PRODUCT DONATIONS. THIS ADDITIONAL SUPPORT ALLOWS CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL TO ENHANCE AND SCALE OUR PROGRAMMING FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. PRODUCT DONATION PARTNERS OF CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL INCLUDE PARTNERS SUCH AS THE CLEAN THE WORLD FOUNDATION, WHICH DONATES HYGIENE KITS TO AID IN SANITATION AND HEALTH EFFORTS, AND HEART TO HEART INTERNATIONAL, WHICH PROVIDES MEDICAL SUPPLIES TO SUPPORT OUR HEALTH EQUITY WORK. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL HAS WORKED COLLABORATIVELY WITH FOUNDATIONS, USAID AND OTHER NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS. ITS AGENCIES ALSO WORK IN-COUNTRY WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, SCHOOLS, AND UNIVERSITIES, AS WELL AS BUSINESSES AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. IMPACTING THE BROADER COMMUNITY COMMUNITY CENTERS MAY PROVIDE THE MOST ROBUST OFFERING OF CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL'S PROGRAMMING, BUT ITS EFFORTS ALSO BENEFIT THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. FOLLOWING ARE HIGHLIGHTS FROM CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL'S BROADER DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS AROUND THE WORLD: RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL DELIVERS A VARIETY OF COMMUNICATION TOOLS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH LIVING IN POVERTY AND THE SOLUTIONS CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL OFFERS. THESE TOOLS INCLUDE JOURNEYS MAGAZINE, DIGITAL NEWSLETTERS AND WHITE PAPERS, SPEAKING PRESENTATIONS, BLOG POSTS, EDUCATIONAL FLIERS/BROCHURES AND PRESS RELEASES. TOGETHER, THESE EFFORTS ARE DESIGNED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC AND RAISE AWARENESS OF THE IMPACT THAT EVEN ONE PERSON CAN HAVE IN HELPING TO LIFT THOSE IN NEED OUT OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES. TRANSFORMING SPONSORS' LIVES SPONSORSHIP IS FAR MORE THAN AN EFFECTIVE FUNDING MODEL. AT ITS CORE, SPONSORSHIP IS A SHARED EXPERIENCE BETWEEN AN INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTOR AND AN INDIVIDUAL BENEFICIARY. WHILE THE ORGANIZATION'S PROGRAMS FOCUS ON IMPROVING THE LIVES OF THOSE LIVING IN POVERTY, CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL ALSO RECOGNIZES THE POSITIVE IMPACT THE RELATIONSHIP BRINGS TO THE CHILD IN THE FORM OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND FRIENDSHIP. CONTRIBUTORS ALSO REPORT INCREASING A SENSE OF PURPOSE AND FULFILLMENT. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL STRIVES TO SHARE THIS KNOWLEDGE TO ENSURE SPONSORS UNDERSTAND HOW THEIR OWN LIVES MAY BE POSITIVELY TRANSFORMED BY BEING SUPPORTIVE OF THE ORGANIZATION, SPONSORED CHILDREN, AND YOUTH. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL OFFERS ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT ITS MISSION AND VISION. DONORS CAN FUND THE CONSTRUCTION OF COMMUNITY CENTERS, THROUGH WHICH THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES ITS PROGRAMS IN IMPOVERISHED AREAS. DONORS ALSO HAVE THE OPTION TO FUND PROGRAMS, SUCH AS TUTORING, MUSIC, DANCE, EMPLOYMENT, SCHOLARSHIPS AND MORE. CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL SUPPORTERS EXPERIENCE POSITIVE CHANGES IN THEIR OWN LIVES AS WELL. BY JOINING FORCES WITH THE ORGANIZATION, SUPPORTERS BECOME A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER - A CARING COMMUNITY THAT DELIVERS LIFE-CHANGING IMPACT TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH AROUND THE WORLD.
