The main purpose is to provide basic needs of proper shelter, nutrition, and security in a nurturing home environment. The organization leases and maintains a clean and safe home in Haiti for up to 20 children and employs and empowers Haitian staff to care for them. Our holistic approach to care, the stable environment, and the intentional family setting we have been able to create has precipitated a relationship with child services as a safety net for the government to temporarily place (2 weeks - 6 months) lost or abandoned children until they are able to find their families. The children are fed 3 nutritious, culturally appropriate meals daily, and their growth is tracked regularly. As a precaution and consistent with facilities of all kinds in Haiti, 24-hour security is provided. Responsible adults accompany the children under the age of 15 when off-site. A healthcare professional resides on the property to promptly address medical needs as they arise. As a U.S. licensed psychologist and family therapist with professional experience specializing in at-risk teens, the site director oversees all programming, policies, procedures and systems and attends the mental health of each child through group and individualized therapy to address the trauma of their past abandonment, abuse and neglect. 0 97105 Education: The organization is committed to providing each child an education and when possible, opportunities to explore and develop his/her God-given talents. Due to their ages and gaps in prior instruction, excellent schools were chosen for the students pursuant to their individual academic levels. The schools were selected based on the leadership's dedication to high academic expectations, professional standards, and innovative teaching methods. In 2023 fourteen students were enrolled in formal education (grades 7 - 13), seven of whom attend one of the country's top-performing schools, known for its academics and for best preparing its students for higher education. The caregivers and a team of 3 tutors assist each child with homework and are expected to adhere to a balanced after-school schedule. At home, as the children mature the goal continues to be intentional cultivation of imagination, critical thinking, and original thought through creative activities, experiential discovery, and writing projects. Books, art supplies, puzzles, and educational games are available, accessible, and encouraged. Camps, field trips, English school, Spanish classes, choir, music school, dance class, sewing, basketball league and several other individualized enrichment activities are arranged based on each young person's interests and strengths. Participation in a community Easter production and a major service project in a remote mountain village provided opportunities to develop the children's organizational, leadership, social and communication skills. 0 17635 Social Integration and Independence Initiative: Haiti's humanitarian crisis persisted in 2023 as violent gangs control the capital city, the main port, and key roads, holding the country hostage and particularly isolating communities in the South. This extremely hostile and dangerous environment further affirms the importance and necessity of All My Heart Haiti's social integration programming, an individualized focus specifically on the older teens to incrementally transition them to full independence. AGES 16 - 17: Staff continued to work on defining and offering reasonable steps toward independence with increased responsibility and privilege. The children continue to develop life skills by participating in household chores, maintenance, and repair. Six of our teens attended English classes outside of school. Various trainings and seminars are organized for specialized skills, such as machine sewing classes, solar panel installation, auto mechanics, and generator maintenance. A partner NGO offered volunteer opportunities in their primary care clinic and a shadowing experience in the physical therapy department. AGES 18 - 22: The organization is committed to providing individualized after-care for our young adults, who are required by the Haitian government to age out of our children's home. By the end of 2023, six young people took advantage of our transition programming, including enrollment in various partner academies. Our first upper school graduate enrolled in a 4-year physical therapy program in another town, and one other upper school student continued his formal schooling and took advantage of counseling and mentoring in our non-resident program. Three other students continued their formal schooling through All My Heart Haiti's semi-independent residential program, supervised by our Resident Advisor. Objectives of the social integration programming initiative center on: life skills, spiritual and character development, individualized vocational/academic planning, holistic and semi-supervised social integration, assessment and pursuit of possible family reunification, one-on-one counseling with U.S. trained and licensed psychologist, a custom staged independence plan, and leadership development. 0 38668 153408 Doctor Annie Gauf Sole Incorporator and Member, Board of Directors 0.5 0 0 0 Bernard Gauf Board Chair, President 1 0 0 0 Cynthia Gauf Secretary and Treasurer 20.25 0 0 0 Reverend Andrew Hunt III Member, Board of Directors 0.5 0 0 0 Kara OMalley Member, Board of Directors 1 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Cynthia Gauf 2542 Babcock Road Vienna VA 22181 7038658208 1 HA 1 HA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 103056 128747 139329 142731 145856 659719 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 103056 128747 139329 142731 145856 659719 50218 45000 41700 37433 51768 226119 17500 35508 35000 30000 16000 134008 67718 80508 76700 67433 67768 360127 299592 2 3 2 3 20 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 3 2 3 20 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 103058 128750 139331 142734 145876 659749 0.45410 0.43523 0.00005 0.00002 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Quarterly interest earned on funds residing in bank account. Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 "Other expenses": Mission-critical expenses for the feeding, care, protection, and education of the children (i.e., food, tuition, books, supplies clothing, shoes, transportation, medical care, toiletries, bank fees and program service initiatives). Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 "Other changes in net assets or fund balances": The aggregate value of depreciable assets decreased due to customary depreciation and no new major assets put into service. Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 "Other Assets": The decrease in value of assets was due to customary depreciation. A new stove for the children's home and 8 rechargeable fans were the only major purchases made during the year. Form 990-EZ, Part V, Line 42b Although the organization transfers operational funds accessible to our field staff in the local branch in Haiti, All My Heart Haiti, Inc. does not file FinCen Form 114, because one bank receives our wires domestically through a U.S. bank. Our balance with neither of our 2 banks exceeded the $10,000 cumulative threshold at any time during 2023. This statement is requested in General Instruction D for filing after the May 15 due date. An automatic extension was granted for the submission of the organization's 2023 nonprofit tax return Form 990EZ after filing Form 8868 on 05/13/2024 as financial records needed to complete the form were in Haiti. With none of us nor our partner organizations traveling to Haiti due to increased violence, kidnapping, and the State Department's RED travel advisory, and because there is no postal service in country, we didn't receive the receipts and other necessary documents in time to meet the May 15 filing deadline. As instructed and in accordance with electronic filing, the 990EZ for 2023 and required Schedules A, B, and O accompany this statement.
