While many of these efforts took place autonomously additional support was often needed for these leaders to be properly equipped to fully implement their plans. Consultation and continuous feedback were provided to the participants and their colleagues. Yet the depth and breadth of this work required some additional assistance in the field. Our African directors helped fulfill this need to quickly assess and assist with whatever issues were presented. This role also allowed for quick and efficient communications with those in Africa and Asia as well as increased accountability. Seed grants were provided to fill in the gaps in project design & implementation where no local resources were available. These grants were primarily catalysts to provide enough momentum and basic infrastructure for the local leaders to continue with their projects long after the grant funds were exhausted. Sustainable income projects were also funded to further enhance the longevity of the projects. 755,676 people received medical and spiritual care as a result of their efforts. Over 4.7 million lives have been transformed since 2013. 35232 0 0 Conferences were conducted in Burundi Congo DRC Ghana India Kenya Liberia Malawi Pakistan Rwanda Sierra Leone Tanzania Togo Uganda and Zambia for 7,497 indigenous faith and medical leaders. Attending were leaders from these specified nations. Demand again exceeded our capacity but we continued to keep our conferences small to invest deeply in those attending. Replication and discipleship allowed us to increase the number of those trained while keeping the groups smaller. In-person conferences in Burundi Kenya Ghana Liberia Malawi Rwanda Tanzania and Zambia followed the normal pattern with most expenses comprising of lodging food and transportation for each conference participant. Conference material focused not only on education but also on implementation strategies. Initial level conferences covered: an advanced medical process for care Zero in on Zero NTDs and what it means to be a Christian leader in a community from a medical and theological perspective. Advanced conferences focused on implementation and leadership while creating a platform for discussing both successes and challenges the participants had experienced over the past year. 30877 0 0 Additional curriculum as well as key updates were developed for the training conferences during this period. Material was developed as medical modules and PowerPoints and previous material both simplified and translated for use in the village setting. Local leaders also created songs and even music videos to share these concepts. All material was fully annotated and include both best practices as well as current literature on the diseases. The material was written in collaboration once again with US African and Asian authors with full credit given to each author. Input was sought from indigenous medical and faith leaders. This was paired with the scientific research to create simple end-user documents for each disease. 15859 8779 0 Nations where we serve faced incredible strain due to the continued global spike in the price of goods that has caused basic items to increase 20-40% overall. Church closures in Rwanda compounded this further for some of our partners. Malawi also suffered from extreme drought that threatened the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Relief funds were provided to help maintain the work in these severely affected areas 15859 8779 0 438644 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false true false true false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 0 false false false false false 0 0 false false false 10 8 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false OH X X David Snyder 5135432896 11608 Chancery Ln CINCINNATI OH 452497493 Selin Waltz Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Doug Walouke President 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Wittkugel Historian 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Snyder Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Fey Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mwatha Stephen Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Levit Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Bostater Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mwende Mutua Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Holwadel Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Snyder Executive Director 50.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 0 32641 0 0 476634 0 509275 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 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 0 0 0 0 509275 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 265263 265263 0 0 82579 57805 16516 8258 0 0 0 0 71111 71111 0 0 0 0 0 0 7500 5250 1500 750 5905 4134 1180 590 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 4882 3000 0 1882 4179 2925 1254 0 95 0 48 48 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20301 20301 0 0 0 0 0 0 5953 5953 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 980 686 196 98 Business registration fees 100 0 50 50 Staff and volunteer appreciation 2016 2016 0 0 Annual fundraising event 8540 0 0 8540 Contract services 200 200 0 0 0 0 0 0 479604 438644 20744 20216 0 0 0 0 291527 319096 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 291527 319096 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4153 2051 4153 2051 X 287374 317045 0 0 0 0 287374 317045 291527 319096 29671 0 0 0 0 0 X false false false X 452373 625314 564152 651715 509275 2802829 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 452373 625314 564152 651715 509275 2802829 1005077 1797752 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2802829 0 0.6414 0.7136 X Part II - Line 10 | Year:, Amount:, Description:| 2020, 0, | 2021, 0| 2022, 0| 2023, | 2024, | RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1298 Ohio state income tax 753 2051 true Sub-Saharan Africa 0 8 Program services Training and program oversight 201352 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 8 Grants to recipients Program grants to eradicate NTDs 134052 South Asia 0 0 Program services Training and program oversight 620 South Asia 0 0 Grants to recipients Program grants to eradicate NTDs 350 0 16 0 16 336374 336374 Program grant to help local leaders trained by Sustainable Med to eradicate tropical diseases in their community Sub-Saharan Africa 105 106840 Bank wire transfer Program grant to help local leaders trained by Sustainable Med to eradicate tropical diseases in their community South Asia 1 350 Bank wire transfer Training of local leaders and program oversight to ensure accountability and excellence in care Sub-Saharan Africa 26 201352 Bank wire transfer Training of local leaders and program oversight to ensure accountability and excellence in care South Asia 1 620 Bank wire transfer Medical scholarship to equip future leaders to eradicate neglected tropical diseases Sub-Saharan Africa 25 18433 Bank wire transfer Relief funds for natural disasters as well as medical emergencies Sub-Saharan Africa 24 8779 Bank wire transfer false false false false false false Part I, II, III and IV | PartandLinenumber:,Explanation:| Part I Line 2,All grants are provided to those partners that have undergone formal training including financial accounting with the organization.
