The interrupted schooling due to the conflict and natural disasters in the region of Africa, makes it so that many of our students are older when they matriculate into secondary school. At present, we support 56 students in South Sudan; 17 in primary school and 39 in secondary school. In Uganda, we support 50 students from 6 different refugee camps, and send them to well established boarding schools that also have ugandan students. Of the 50 Students, 16 are in primary school and 34 are in secondary school. Since our merger in October 2022, 96 girls have graduated from secondary school. To Provide these girls with a post graduate education, we created a basic computer skills course in Juba, South Sudan. 8 girls came to the class in 2023-2024. We continue to stay in touch with our graduates and provide opportunities for the girls to meet periodically. 139357 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false true true true false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 1 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false X 12 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false CO X Hicks Accounting Service Inc 3035239850 3600 S Beeler St Ste 100 Denver CO 80237 Micklina Peter Kenyi Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 61920 0 0 Lawrence Wongo Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Lester Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Achulo Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Omunu Abalu Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stella Lunyaramoi Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dinah Frey Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lee Ann Huntington Director 30.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lily Ribiero Stobie Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ken Scott Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ray Stranske Board Chair 30.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jim Broyles Director 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mike Ritter Treasurer 20.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 61920 0 0 0 false false false 34197 235525 269722 891 891 34197 0 270613 891 0 0 79073 79073 61919 35294 16099 10526 5324 2778 1528 1018 5293 3256 1232 805 1845 1845 3345 313 143 2889 3003 1432 1571 3439 3439 18061 17346 715 1162 612 550 1520 1520 Fundraising Events 21650 21650 4653 1297 3356 210287 139357 31921 39009 20390 27977 141088 173774 2000 2000 960 77032 97002 1337 4213 1407 242214 302966 5787 6213 5787 6213 X 236427 296753 236427 296753 242214 302966 60326 0 X true X false X 33525 81091 159498 213898 270613 758625 33525 81091 159498 213898 270613 758625 97099 661526 11 14 804 1719 1239 3787 762412 0.86770 0.99510 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2000 2000 Credit Card Liabilities 4618 Unrealized Gains 1595 6213 true Sub-Saharan Africa 8 Program services Education Grant 79073 8 8 79073 79073 Sub-Saharan Africa Girls Education 12729 Sub-Saharan Africa Girls Education 9424 Sub-Saharan Africa Girls Education 5399 Sub-Saharan Africa Girls Education 11235 Sub-Saharan Africa Girls Education 8600 5 false false false false false false Use of grant monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) The Executive Director, accompanied by one or more members, travel to South Sudan and Uganda at least yearly to assess and confirm the use of its educational grants.
