This includes conserving the natural resources upon which their agro-businesses depend. We also help women play an equal role. 5 5 1 0 0 0 418781 435795 0 0 0 0 0 0 418781 435795 0 0 0 0 190040 203202 0 0 0 207550 154289 397590 357491 21191 78304 134212 206427 16733 10644 117479 195783 X Strategies for International Development (SID) develops, applies, and promotes better methods for eradicating rural poverty. We help small farmers make the transition from subsistence to successful commercial farming. We carryout programs in the poorest regions of Guatemala and Peru. 1 0 117643 121107 In Guatemala, in 2024, we started a second phase in Alta Verapaz in response to some further needs from the farmers in the area. The project aims to help farmers access the specialty coffee market. Coffee with a quality rating over 80 is considered specialty coffee, and farmers in the project produce coffee that rates between 81 and 86.5. In order to help farmers access the specialty coffee market, we are helping them comply with the Starbucks Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) criteria. In addition, 241 families in the project established a producers' association, and we are helping the association's members to take on the marketing of their coffee. Farmers are doing a good job of adopting the Starbucks practices. Their adoption rate was above 50% for most groups of practices and in the high 80s for a few. Members of the Alta Verapaz producers' association sold a micro-lot of 10, 69-kilo bags of coffee to Zeke's Coffee, a D.C. roaster. Zeke's already expressed their interest in ordering another micro-lot for this harvest, plus an additional 40 bags to blend with other coffees. 67276 84000 In Uganda, in 2024, we continued our regional program in the Luweero District. Farmers in the general population are increasing their knowledge and adopting practices to help them graduate from poverty. The farmers in the early-adopter villages increased their productivity from 113 to 172 kilos per 1/4 acre of coffee, sold more coffee in dried cherries, and had significant price increases. As a result, they increased their income from $227 to $1,212. Also, the number of participating families increased from 1,705 to 1,861. 1,145 women started or expanded 28 different types of second businesses. All the women made business plans for their second businesses and evaluated their results. The average annual income for all the businesses was $92. 47051 79015 In Malawi, in 2024, we continued our regional program in the Central Region of the country, helping dairy producers graduate from poverty. We provide monthly technical assistance to 945 families in 63 villages, where the dairy farmers have agreed to adopt all the practices. We have provided the farmers with Lukina seeds and Rhodes grass to increase the cows' feeding and productivity. We also doubled the number of Artificial Insemination technicians and trained farmers on crucial animal health practices. 945 early-adopter families increased their productivity (liters per cow per day) from 8.50 to 10.33, their days of milk per year from 212 to 231, and their annual net income went from $165 to $547. 28149 44418 In September 2024, we began a new project with 44,000 coffee-farming families in the Kagera Region of Tanzania. The project supports farmers in the Kagera Cooperative Union (KCU) and Kagera District Cooperative Union (KDCU). Most farmers there have only 70-150 coffee trees per acre, far below the recommended 450. The government offers free seedlings, and we helped organize their collection and planting. Since our program began in September, farmers planted 131,200 trees in 7 KCU villages and 321,000 in 11 KDCU villages. We provided technical support for planting, pruning, pest control, and mulching. By June, 2,522 families in over 100 villages increased productivity from 254 to 280 kilos of dried cherries per quarter acre and raised their income from $488 to $923. 21458 21655 In Peru, in 2024 we continued to provide technical assistance to the dairy-producing families that receive loans from our micro-credit program. We helped farmers make business plans as well as improve their land-use plans. We provided technical assistance in the practices that improve the health and nutrition of their dairy cows. 49607 0 66073 281577 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 DC X X Judith R Russo 2025441115 330 Pennsylvania Ave SE Suite 304 Washington DC 20003 Judith Russo Program and Financial Director 40 X X 63360 0 0 Nancy Hirschhorn Board President 1 X 0 0 0 Jorge Berges Member 1 X 0 0 0 Dan Berman Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Martha Rebour Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Amanda Jennings Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Charles Patterson Executive Director 40 X X 0 0 0 63360 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 435795 0 435795 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 435795 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 53360 0 53360 0 125626 125626 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24216 19369 4847 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 21886 20740 1146 0 0 0 0 0 4938 3433 1505 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15009 9153 5856 0 46771 43559 3212 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3146 3098 48 0 0 0 0 0 Program Supplies 13885 13885 0 0 Communication 6574 4121 2453 0 Training and Seminar Costs 12827 12722 105 Printing and Publications 477 456 21 0 28776 25415 3361 0 357491 281577 75914 0 71574 122042 0 0 23182 22229 23704 0 4201 7044 8935 0 0 17080 11224 0 13139 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16285 0 134212 206427 -347 -580 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17080 11224 16733 10644 X 56168 49947 61311 145836 117479 195783 134212 206427 78304 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 240088 208528 263732 418779 435795 1566922 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 240088 208528 263732 418779 435795 1566922 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1566922 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 240088 208528 263732 418779 435795 1566922 1 1 0 0 X Schedule A, Part I, Line 12 We do not have any additional income other than the income from grants that were recorded on Part III, Section A.

The 990 form is available on our website and upon request by any board member Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c In 2018, the Board of Directors approved a written conflict of interest policy. The policy is presented to any new staff and board members, who sign a commitment to follow this and other organizational policies. The board reviews the policy periodically and adjusts it as necessary. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Our governing documents, as well as the conflict-of-interest policy, are available upon request. Our annual financial statements are available on our website for the public We submitted Form 8868, which was approved and granted us a 6-month extension. We requested the extension for the following reasons. Our auditor needed additional time to test the expenditures in our field projects (Guatemala, Uganda, Malawi, Tanzania, and Peru). He also needed extra time to confirm bank balances.
