Ecole Destined for Grace is the program that embodies the mission of Destined for Grace Children's Relief. It is our mission to provide an education for children in the mirebalais area who cannot afford to attend school on their own. Destined for Grace has provided a school that is of little cost to the families in Mirebalais, yet provides an excellent education for their children. The past year we educated 220 students at Ecole Destined for Grace. We are able to do this through fundraising and through thrift stores that the organization runs. School runs from September to June and standards are set by the Haitian Ministry of Education along with Destined for Grace. In addition to providing an education to our students, we also provide each student with a hot meal each school day. For many students this meal is the only guaranteed meal of the day. 8616 0 0 Providing for community needs is an important aspect of Destined for Grace's program services. We conduct an annual community event on World Water day to teach the importance of clean water and hygiene. The students at the school get involved and make presentations to the community. We also finished the construction of a community well and reservoir. 0 0 0 122569 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 68 1 0 1 HA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 CA X X Lindsey Connolly 8058574206 PO BOX 925 CARPINTERIA CA 93014 Tyron Smith Secretary 40 X X 122750 11962 257 Rebecca Smith CEO 40 X X 122750 0 257 Lindsey Connolly CFO 40 0 X X 97400 0 0 Cynthia Connolly Officer 2 0 X 0 0 0 Joanie Costa Officer 2 0 X 0 0 0 342900 11962 514 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 53549 18947 53549 Ecole Destined For Grace 923110 5771 5771 0 0 0 0 0 0 5771 16587 0 16587 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1188101 1188101 0 0 0 0 0 75907 5771 16587 0 0 0 0 0 1382 1382 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 71953 71953 0 0 0 0 0 0 604 0 604 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 382 0 382 0 2946 442 2504 0 2221 0 2221 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 519 519 0 0 0 0 0 0 2891 2735 156 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ecole Destined For Grace PreK-6th 15824 15824 0 0 Food Program 15833 15833 0 0 Construction 13881 13881 0 0 128436 122569 5867 0 367330 235121 875000 990372 92374 93629 111669 28710 86148 82959 1420852 1402081 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 1420852 1402081 0 0 1420852 1402081 1420852 1402081 X -52529 36947 0 0 0 -3189 X 0 0 0 X 209862 665928 434656 215561 53549 1579556 209862 665928 434656 215561 53549 1579556 1579556 16587 16587 0 0 0 0 0 0 1596143 0 0.98961 0.95344 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 16000 16000 0 95669 28710 66959 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 82959 Central America and the Caribbean 1 17 Program Services Destined For Grace operates a PreK - 6th grade elementary school in Mirebalais, Haiti.
