AS WE PROVIDE EDUCATION, WE SEE INDIVIDUAL LIVES TRANSFORMED, FAMILIES FREED FROM THE CRUSHING EFFECTS OF POVERTY, THE LOCAL CHURCH STRENGTHENED AND ENTIRE COMMUNITIES LIFTED. HIGH-QUALITY, GOSPEL-CENTERED EDUCATION SAVES CHILDREN'S LIVES, PROMOTES GIRLS AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS, AND MAKES PEOPLE HEALTHIER. IT BOOSTS ECONOMIC GROWTH, REDUCES POVERTY, AND IS PROVEN TO DIRECTLY INCREASE INCOME. OUR EDUCATION INITIATIVE IS ROOTED IN OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL LEADERS AND THE LOCAL CHURCH. IN 2024, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 6 PRE-SCHOOLS, 10 PRIMARY SCHOOLS AND 5 SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN 8 COUNTRIES, WE SUPPORTED 4,659 STUDENTS AND 213 TEACHERS; WE SERVED 1.14 MILLION MEALS; AND WE DIRECTLY AFFECTED OVER 25,000 LIVES. SUPPORT INCLUDES TUITION, UNIFORMS, SUPPLIES, MEALS, TEACHER SALARIES, TRAINING, FACILITY UPKEEP, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR POST-SECONDARY SCHOLARSHIPS. OUR PARTNER SCHOOLS HAVE BECOME SOME OF THE TOP SCHOOLS IN THEIR REGIONS AND HAVE EMPOWERED THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE. 152245 152245 217976 ENTREPRENEURSHIP: THE HELP ONE NOW FAMILY BUSINESS PROGRAM IS A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO END GENERATIONAL POVERTY BY EQUIPPING FAMILIES TO ACHIEVE LONG-TERM FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE, AND TO BECOME ACTIVE CONTRIBUTORS TO THE GROWTH AND STABILITY OF THEIR COMMUNITY. THIS PROGRAM GUIDES FAMILIES THROUGH A 7-STEP PROCESS LEADING TO A SUCCESSFUL SMALL BUSINESS. LONG TERM MENTORSHIP AND INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT BUILD ON THE STRENGTHS, MOTIVATION AND PASSION OF EACH FAMILY, MAKING THEM MORE LIKELY TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR OWN SUCCESS AND ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN SOLVING PROBLEMS AS THEY OCCUR. THIS CREATES FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE, ENCOURAGES THEM TO RE-INVEST IN THE GROWTH OF THEIR BUSINESS AND ULTIMATELY CONTRIBUTES TO THE SUSTAINABILITY OF ADDITIONAL FAMILIES THROUGH EMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION. REPEATED ON A LARGE SCALE IN MULTIPLE COMMUNITIES, WE SEE WIDESPREAD INCREASE IN COMMUNITY RESILIENCE, ECONOMIC STABILITY AND SPIRITUAL HEALTH. OUR ENTREPRENEURSHIP INITIATIVE IS ROOTED IN OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL LEADERS AND THE LOCAL CHURCH. TO DATE, WE HAVE EMPOWERED OVER 1,600 FAMILIES IN 12 DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES, WITH AN AVERAGE INCREASED INCOME OF 400-500% AND MANY OF THESE FAMILIES NOW HAVE YEARS OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY UNDER THEIR BELT. 91975 91975 190447 COMMUNITY CARE: COMMUNITY CARE ENCOMPASSES MANY DIFFERENT THINGS, INCLUDING CLEAN WATER; ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE; FOOD SECURITY; TRAFFICKING AWARENESS, PREVENTION AND CARE; TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE AND COUNSELING; TRANSITIONAL CARE, REUNIFICATION AND LOCAL ADOPTION; SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT, CHURCH PLANTING AND DISCIPLESHIP; EMERGENCY RELIEF, AND MORE. IN COMMUNITIES WHERE EXTREME POVERTY EXISTS, UNDER-RESOURCED SYSTEMS OFTEN FALL SHORT IN CARING FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE. CHILDREN WITHOUT ADEQUATE PARENTAL CARE EXPERIENCE NEGLECT, TRAUMA AND EXPLOITATION WHILE A LACK OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES LEADS TO THE BASIC NEEDS OF MANY GOING UNMET. HELP ONE NOW PROVIDES 24/7 HOLISTIC CARE TO CHILDREN RESCUED FROM OR VULNERABLE TO TRAFFICKING AND PROVIDES RESOURCES THAT MEET THE BASIC NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN EXTREME POVERTY BUT MORE THAN THIS OUR PROGRAMS FOCUS ON CARING FOR THE WHOLE PERSON. HELP ONE NOW STAFF WALK ALONGSIDE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES, RESOURCING THEM WITH THE TOOLS NEEDED TO HEAL SPIRITUALLY AND EMOTIONALLY RESTORING THE BELIEF THAT THEIR LIVES HAVE VALUE AND THAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF SUCCESS. OUR COMMUNITY CARE INITIATIVE IS ROOTED IN OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL LEADERS AND THE LOCAL CHURCH. IN 2024, WE SUPPORTED 331 CHILDREN WITH 24/7 HOLISTIC CARE, AND OVER 60,000 INDIVIDUALS IN VARIOUS FORMS OF PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL RESTORATION. 411866 860606 ORPHAN PREVENTION, REUNIFICATION AND FAMILY EMPOWERMENT PROJECTS 411866 860606 1340094 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X BRIGID BRYAN 9192306259 PO BOX 26716 RALEIGH NC 27611 CHRISTOPHER MARLOW CEO/FOUNDER 40.00 X X 93603 0 46395 ANDY HOOPER CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 AMANDA WHITMIRE SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KAYLA GLASGOW TREASURER 0.50 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL EADY DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 DR MELANIE WALKER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 93603 0 46395 0 0 0 0 0 149545 2173282 2322827 18 18 29475 149545 43935 -14460 -14460 2308385 0 0 -14442 928228 928228 149161 44749 59664 44748 371466 205126 65789 100551 7946 5159 38 2749 51845 31820 3200 16825 31719 14725 10685 6309 67574 14368 53206 39672 39672 29381 29381 46615 33594 13021 12103 6455 5648 31239 31239 50 50 193576 47312 146264 50302 50302 14382 14382 5792 5792 FEES 144745 144745 BANK FEES 62961 62961 EQUIPMENT & REPAIRS 6209 6209 2244966 1340094 661815 243057 293530 329939 158973 170638 452503 500577 4865 0 152088 141608 156953 141608 X 295550 358969 295550 358969 452503 500577 63419 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 2502453 3549029 2779924 2655196 2352302 13838904 2502453 3549029 2779924 2655196 2352302 13838904 99914 13738990 17 17 13838921 0.99280 0.99300 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 CREDIT CARD PAYABLE 115209 PARAGON LINE OF CREDIT 26399 141608 X PART X, LINE 2: IT IS THE ORGANIZATION'S POLICY TO EVALUATE ALL TAX POSITIONS TO IDENTIFY ANY THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED UNCERTAIN.
