OUR HOLISTIC PROGRAM OFFERS TEXTILE AND JOB TRAINING TO WOMEN WITH NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE, FOLLOWED BY FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS, HEALTH SERVICES, AND ACCESS TO AN INTERNATIONAL MARKETPLACE. THIS COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH ADDRESSES THE COMPLEX NEEDS OF MARGINALIZED WOMEN, HELPING THEM REDISCOVER CONFIDENCE, INDEPENDENCE, AND CREATIVITY IN A FINANCIALLY REWARDING WAY, BOTH WITH ANCHAL AND BEYOND. TO DATE, WE'VE EMPLOYED OVER 500 WOMEN, SUPPORTED 95% OF OUR ARTISANS IN LEAVING THE SEX TRADE OR REDUCING CLIENTS, AND PRODUCED OVER 130,000 ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS.IN 2023, WE ALSO HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF RECONNECTING WITH OUR TEAM OF 214 ARTISANS IN AJMER - THE FIRST VISIT SINCE 2019. THIS VISIT WAS A POWERFUL REMINDER OF THE PROFOUND IMPACT OF ANCHAL'S WORK, ALLOWING US TO RECONNECT WITH ARTISANS AND MEASURE OUR PROGRESS IN PERSON. EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THOSE PROVIDED BY ANCHAL ENABLE WOMEN TO CULTIVATE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE, EMPOWERMENT, AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDREN. PROJECT ASSISTANT SHAMA SHARED, "I HAVE DREAMED FOR MANY YEARS ABOUT BUILDING MY OWN HOME, AND NOW I HAVE DONE THAT. IT IS SMALL, BUT IT IS MINE, AND I AM HAPPY. MY OTHER GOAL WAS TO EDUCATE MY SONS, AND I HAVE DONE THIS TOO. MY ELDEST IS 20, AND HE IS FINISHING A TRADE PROGRAM, AND MY 18-YEAR-OLD IS IN HIS FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE!" WHAT RESONATED MOST DURING OUR VISIT WAS WITNESSING HOW THE COMMUNITY AND SISTERHOOD FUEL THE STRENGTH OF THIS RESILIENT GROUP OF WOMEN. AS RUKSAR SHARED, "IT WAS NOT EASY AT FIRST TO MAKE THIS CHANGE IN MY LIFE, BUT I FEEL MORE CONFIDENT NOW AND REFRESHED WHEN I COME TO THE WORKSHOP. I CAN TALK TO ANYONE HERE AND FEEL SUPPORTED BY THE WOMEN HERE. I FEEL HAPPIER AT WORK THAN I DO AT HOME. WHEN I AM HOME, OLD LIFE CHALLENGES ARE THERE." ANCHAL UNIQUELY FOSTERS AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE WOMEN CAN BUILD A SUPPORT SYSTEM THAT MAY BE LACKING IN THEIR HOMES, ENABLING THEM TO UPLIFT ONE ANOTHER, NAVIGATE OBSTACLES, AND INSPIRE THEIR CHILDREN.ADDITIONALLY, WE MOVED OUR HEADQUARTERS TO A LARGER SPACE THAT ACCOMMODATES OUR FIRST-EVER STOREFRONT, EXPANDING OUR MISSION TO CONNECT WITH THE LOUISVILLE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO PROUDLY DEBUTED AN EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION WITH BLOOMINGDALE'S. ANCHAL'S PROGRAMS DEMONSTRATE THAT SYSTEMATICALLY ADDRESSING EMPLOYMENT INEQUALITY EMPOWERS WOMEN TO UPLIFT THEMSELVES AND CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE WITHIN THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES, LEAVING A LASTING GENERATIONAL IMPACT. 957565 1 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 KY X THOMAS D CLINES 5028077000 6602 OLD HEADY ROAD LOUISVILLE KY 40299 MARGARET CLINES COO, CREATIVE DIRECTOR 50.00 X X 85600 0 6760 COLLEEN CLINES CEO AND CO-FOUNDER 50.00 X X 86135 0 3756 LYNN COOPER BOARD CHAIR 3.00 X X 0 0 0 BETH PEABODY TREASURER 3.00 X X 0 0 0 JESSICA ZIMMER SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 THOMAS CLINES DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 BEN BOYD DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 TATE REYNOLDS DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 KYLE CITRYNELL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JASON D'MELLO DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH WOOLSEY DIRECTOR (TERM BEGAN 2023) 1.00 X 0 0 0 NATALIE OFFICER DIRECTOR (TERM BEGAN 2023) 1.00 X 0 0 0 171735 0 10516 0 0 0 0 0 2000 112655 114655 PRODUCT SALES 459999 865202 865202 865202 979857 865202 0 0 182250 164026 9112 9112 228391 205553 11419 11419 14692 13222 735 735 30388 27350 1519 1519 2070 2070 97483 80888 16595 103422 103422 61956 51765 9801 390 13054 11377 1677 48497 44275 2933 1289 15823 15823 32319 32319 7952 7952 SHIPPING AND FREIGHT 97715 97715 SUPPLIES 94998 93709 1289 WEBSITE EXPENSE 5028 5028 EDUCATION & TRAINING 4645 4327 318 10139 6766 2864 509 1050822 957565 68284 24973 0 3772 337671 233358 133483 144054 0 5419 471154 386603 23115 9529 23115 9529 X 448039 377074 448039 377074 471154 386603 -70965 0 X 0 0 0 X 155900 114249 201108 116537 114655 702449 590752 800040 718815 824827 865202 3799636 746652 914289 919923 941364 979857 4502085 49250 35128 35000 34345 15000 168723 0 49250 35128 35000 34345 15000 168723 4333362 39 39 39 39 746652 914289 919923 941403 979857 4502124 0.96250 0.95320 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 1A THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SHALL BE COMPRISED OF THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD, AS COMMITTEE CHAIR; THE PRESIDENT; AND OTHER COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN OF THE COMMITTEES OF THE CORPORATION ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
