This required many hours of meetings, reviewing and revising legal documents, seeking counsel on local process for title deed transfers, stamps, etc., and working with leadership in the surrounding communities to introduce our organizations mission and to build relationships.As in 2021, World of Difference again employed local community members in short-term / temporary assignments throughout the year to accomplish our goals. These workers focused on Improving the soil by digging swales for effective water management, and also further expanding our crops of soya and ground nuts. Once harvested, these crops were again donated for feeding programs at several schools and orphanages (approximately 67 bags at 50 kilos each). In the new planting season, maize was also added to the staple crops. Additionally, land was prepared by the workers, and ~ 1200 macadamia trees and ~400 bamboo trees were planted. These will serve in the future as a resource for sustainability in our local operations.Additional donations through our volunteer team included 300+ menstrual kits, 300 lbs. of books and school materials, and 250 lbs. of medical supplies for local community clinics.Our expedition team of volunteer leaders hosted a community celebration to build relationships with the 14 villages that surround our property. Many hundreds of people were in attendance. This celebration was followed up by hosting workshops that benefited over 220 community participants. The workshops were educational in nature and were also intended to create connection. These included topics on women empowerment, health, agriculture, and male mentorship. In addition, 500+ children and teens participated in rotations that reinforced the power of play and connection. These activities helped to establish a better understanding of who we are as an organization and to build confidence that we desire to build capacity in their communities.World of Difference met with several local organizations who have similar goals and objectives to our three pillars, and identified some areas where we can work together to have greater impact. Some initial service was provided, and further plans are being developed to work more closely together in 2023. These organizations included:- Thrive- Zayane- Malawi College of Health Sciences- Kamuzu Central Hospital- Child Legacy InternationalFuture plans for our land are still being developed but will include it being an educational space for communities to learn the skills and knowledge needed to heal the soil, and grow healthy crops that will provide for their immediate needs, and give them a means to support their families long-term. 275541 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 0 true false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false X JODI NIELSEN 8014231147 498 E 10000 S SALEM UT 84653 ALYCESUN CLARE Director 40.00 0.00 X 89000 0 0 JODI NIELSEN Vice President 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD P NIELSEN President 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JEFF ROGERS BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TIM WEEKS Treasurer 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TANYA SNELSON Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MASANKHO BANDA BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICKAEL SORENSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JANE MAZENGERA BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NUMERI GERESOMO BOARD MEMBER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 89000 0 false false false 0 1093475 1093475 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1093475 0 0 0 0 89000 89000 0 0 0 0 6912 6912 0 124 124 12000 12000 0 0 0 0 0 750 750 0 0 4817 4817 8859 8859 0 1776 1776 0 0 216 216 375 375 PERMACULTURE 79878 79878 EXPEDITION EXPENSES 66650 66650 MALAWI OPERATIONS 31124 31124 SPONSORSHIP EXPENSES 8619 8619 3504 270 3234 314604 275541 39063 0 396311 888263 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 288775 351 540 288424 0 0 0 0 23006 23006 419857 1199693 3824 4789 3824 4789 X 416033 1194904 416033 1194904 419857 1199693 778871 X false false false X 294936 195737 586305 26627 1047715 2151320 0 0 0 0 294936 195737 586305 26627 1047715 2151320 557010 17000 1022715 1596725 0 557010 17000 1022715 1596725 554595 108 143 17 268 0 108 143 17 268 0 0 295044 195880 586322 26627 1047715 2151588 0.25780 0.99980 0.00010 0.00020 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 288100 288100 675 351 324 288424 PAYROLL LIABILITIES 4789 4789 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 THE PRESIDENT AND A BOARD MEMBER ARE SPOUSES.
