Support includes application fees, assistance in obtaining financial aid and bursaries, tuition assistance, transportation stipends, housing in Masinyusane's Houses of Excellence, food and welfare, and mentoring and tutoring. Masinyusane was actively supporting over 1000 students in high school and university, all from very impoverished backgrounds. 70865 25000 0 Children's Education & Youth Employment: Empowering local communities to uplift themselves by hiring local, previously unemployed youth and training them as reading coaches for children. We build libraries & literacy centres in preschools and schools and have these reading coaches work with children one-on-one at whatever level they are at for the first 5-6 years of their schooling life. This provides them with the foundation in reading, writing and comprehension that every child deserves. We are thus creating jobs in which community youth are employed to help uplift their own schools and children. 0 0 0 n/a 0 0 0 141729 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 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 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 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 0 1 1 0 MA X X X Jim McKeown 6102489363 149 Massachusetts Ave Boston MA 02115 Jim McKeown Executive Director 40 0 X X 90000 0 0 Kellan Florio Treasurer, Board 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Kunaal Bellara Chairperson, Board Member 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Tim Cork Board 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Calhoun Board 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Rachel Bixler Board Member 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 90000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 143019 0 143019 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 143019 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50100 50100 0 0 91125 72900 9113 9112 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10935 8748 1094 1093 0 0 0 0 7113 5690 711 712 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5238 4200 1038 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 91 91 0 0 4397 0 1536 2861 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5956 0 0 5956 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 565 0 565 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 175520 141729 14057 19734 150940 116885 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4768 2287 927 2481 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 151867 119366 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 147367 119366 4500 0 151867 119366 151867 119366 -32501 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 1 1 0 X 110266 123532 90773 127397 143019 594987 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 110266 123532 90773 127397 143019 594987 100300 494687 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 594987 0 0.83142 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4768 0 2287 2481 0 0 0 0 2481 143019 0 0 0 0 0 143019 0 0 0 143019 175520 0 0 0 0 0 175520 0 0 0 175520 1 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grantmaking The organization provides grants to partner organizations in South Africa that deliver education and youth development programs serving economically disadvantaged children and youth. 50100 0 0 50100 Sub-Saharan Africa Support for early childhood literacy and youth development programs in South Africa, including the Top Learner Programme and Children & Youth Programme. 50100 Wire Transfer 0 n/a 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Masinyusane Inc. monitors the use of grant funds provided to foreign partner organizations through ongoing oversight and reporting requirements.
