GEORGE AND MOLLY GREENE, FOUNDERS OF WATER MISSION, REALIZED THEY WOULD NEVER SOLVE THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS AT THE CURRENT RATE. WITH 2.2 BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD STILL WITHOUT ACCESS TO SAFE WATER, THEY HAD A VISION FOR AN ORGANIZATION THAT COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM FASTER. IN 2020, WATER MISSION TURNED THAT VISION INTO REALITY BY FOUNDING GLOBAL WATER CENTER (GWC).AT GWC, WE BELIEVE EVERYONE DESERVES ACCESS TO SAFELY MANAGED WATER. WITHOUT SUSTAINABLE WATER SYSTEMS, THIS GOAL REMAINS OUT OF REACH. THAT IS WHY GWC FOCUSES ON CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, AND COLLABORATION, EQUIPPING LEADERS TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS AT THE SCALE NEEDED TO END THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS. AS THE GO-TO RESOURCE FOR THE RURAL WATER SECTOR, WE HAVE EQUIPPED LEADERS IN OVER 130 COUNTRIES. TOGETHER, WE ARE SOLVING THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS. 0 0 2598715 122370 253442 APPROXIMATELY 40% OF RURAL WATER SYSTEMS FAIL IN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS, RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN INVESTMENTS AND LEAVING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WITHOUT RELIABLE ACCESS TO SAFE WATER. GWC FOCUSES ON INCREASING ACCESS TO SAFE WATER AND PREVENTING WATER SYSTEM FAILURES THROUGH THESE THREE COLLABORATIVE DIVISIONS:COLLECTIVE ACTION: NO ORGANIZATION CAN END THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS ALONE. WHEN ORGANIZATIONS WORK INDEPENDENTLY, THEY BECOME SILOED AND INEFFICIENT. OUR APPROACH IS DIFFERENT: EVERYTHING WE DO IS BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF COLLABORATION. WE STRIVE TO CONNECT WITH PARTNERS AND SUPPORT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY SO WE CAN ADDRESS THE WATER CRISIS WITH A SHARED VISION AND COORDINATED EFFORTS.THE COLLECTIVE ACTION DIVISION BUILDS COLLABORATIONS WITH GOVERNMENT, CORPORATE, AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION (NGO) PARTNERS. OUR COLLABORATORS INCLUDE GOVERNMENT WATER AGENCIES IN GHANA, TANZANIA, ZANZIBAR, AND INDIA, CORPORATIONS SUCH AS THE COCA-COLA FOUNDATION AND THE GRUNDFOS FOUNDATION, NGO PARTNERS LIKE UNICEF, CHARITY: WATER AND WATER MISSION. BRINGING THESE ENTITIES TOGETHER LEADS TO MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS. THE COLLABORATION FOSTERED IN THIS DIVISION ALSO ALLOWS GWC TO IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP STRATEGIC PROJECTS AND STAY ON TOP OF SECTOR TRENDS AND NEEDS. LEARNING SERVICES: THE GLAAS REPORT BY UN WATER FOUND THAT IT WOULD TAKE OVER 750,000 MORE SKILLED WATER PROFESSIONALS TO SOLVE THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS. HOWEVER, FEW ORGANIZATIONS CREATE PATHWAYS INTO THIS PROFESSION. GWC WORKS ON BOTH BRINGING NEW PEOPLE INTO THE WATER SECTOR AND DEVELOPING THE CAPACITY OF EXISTING WATER PROFESSIONALS THROUGH RESULTS-ORIENTED TRAINING THAT ADHERES TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS. SOON, OUR COMPREHENSIVE LIBRARY WILL COVER EVERYTHING A WATER TECHNICIAN NEEDS TO DESIGN, INSTALL, OPERATE, AND MAINTAIN SUSTAINABLE WATER SYSTEMS FROM SOURCE TO TAP. OUR LEARNING SERVICES DIVISION PROVIDES: 1. COURSES:OUR ONLINE, IN-PERSON, AND HYBRID COURSES ADDRESS CAPACITY GAPS IN THE WATER SECTOR BY EQUIPPING PROFESSIONALS WITH PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. THE ONLINE COURSES ARE IN HIGH DEMAND, OFTEN RECEIVING UP TO 7 TIMES MORE APPLICANTS THAN AVAILABLE SEATS. WE ALSO PROVIDED HYBRID COURSES IN SOLAR POWERED WATER SYSTEMS (SPWS) TO THE GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA, INDIA. THIS PROGRAM TRAINED 18 MASTER TRAINERS, WHO THEN TRAINED OVER 400 ENGINEERS. IT ALSO INCLUDED CREATING A SPWS DEMONSTRATION SITE FOR HANDS-ON LEARNING. 2. WATER OPERATOR TRAINING:THIS TRAINING IS OFFERED AS A MULTI-YEAR CURRICULUM WITH VOCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OR AS SHORT-TERM TRAINING FOR NGO AND CORPORATE PARTNERS. IN GHANA, GWC COLLABORATED WITH 12 PARTNERS TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A GOVERNMENT-ACCREDITED, THREE-YEAR WATER OPERATOR TRAINING PROGRAM AS PART OF THE COUNTRY'S TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (TVET) SYSTEM. THIS PROGRAM CREATES CLEAR CAREER PATHWAYS INTO THE WATER SECTOR, ADDRESSING BOTH SKILLS SHORTAGES AND YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT. WE PLAN TO ROLL OUT SIMILAR PROGRAMS IN TVET SYSTEMS ACROSS AFRICA.3. MENTORING AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT:WE PROVIDE AUTOMATED AND PERSONALIZED MENTORING AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO HELP PROFESSIONALS APPLY WHAT THEY LEARNED. UTILIZING OUR AI-POWERED TOOLS, SUCH AS A MULTILINGUAL WHATSAPP ASSISTANT AND WEBSITE CHATBOT, WE CHECK IN REGULARLY WITH OUR COURSE ALUMNI TO ENSURE THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES TO SUCCEED. IN ADDITION, WE PARTNER WITH THE RURAL WATER SUPPLY NETWORK TO PAIR WATER PROFESSIONALS WITH EXPERIENCED MENTORS TO SUPPORT THEIR CAREER GROWTH AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT.TECHNICAL SERVICES: WITHOUT RELIABLE TOOLS TO MONITOR AND MANAGE WATER SYSTEMS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY FAILURES AND ADDRESS THEM PROACTIVELY. TO TACKLE THIS ISSUE, OUR TECHNICAL SERVICES DIVISION CREATED SUREFLOW ANALYTICS, AN INNOVATIVE MONITORING AND DATA MANAGEMENT PLATFORM THAT TRANSFORMS DATA FROM REMOTE MONITORING DEVICES, TECHNICIANS' REPORTS, AND STANDARD MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES INTO AUTOMATED, ACTIONABLE REPORTS. DURING A PILOT PROJECT WITH TWO ORGANIZATIONS AND 1200 WATER POINTS, INITIAL USERS WERE ABLE TO SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE TIME SPENT ON DATA MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING AND REDUCE OR ELIMINATE OVERDUE MAINTENANCE VISITS, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY INCREASING THE TOTAL WATER POINTS BEING OPERATED. THESE IMPROVEMENTS PROVIDED CRITICAL INSIGHTS AND EFFICIENCIES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY OUT OF REACH.THIS DIVISION ALSO PROVIDES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE BY OFFERING CONSULTING SERVICES FOR EVALUATIONS, STRATEGY, DATA MANAGEMENT, AND CARBON CREDITS TO SUPPORT SAFE WATER DELIVERY. THIS INCLUDES LAUNCHING OUR INNOVATIVE CARBON CREDIT PROGRAMS, CARBON 4 SAFE WATER (C4SW) AND UNITED CARBON 4 SAFE WATER (UC4SW). THESE PLATFORMS HELP NONPROFITS NAVIGATE CARBON CREDIT STANDARDS, METHODOLOGIES, AND CERTIFICATION PROCESSES, ENABLING THEM TO GENERATE AND SELL CARBON CREDITS ON THE VOLUNTARY MARKET. THE REVENUE FROM THESE CREDITS CAN FINANCE THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE OF SAFE WATER SYSTEMS. FURTHERMORE, UC4SW AND C4SW OFFER END-TO-END ADVISORY SUPPORT, ASSESSING PROJECT READINESS, GUIDING DEVELOPERS THROUGH THE CARBON JOURNEY, AND ENSURING SUCCESSFUL MONETIZATION OF CREDITS. 2598715 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 10 0 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 SC X X PEG NICHOLS DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 8432437371 1150 MOLLLY GREENE WAY BLDG 1605 NORTH CHARLESTON SC 29405 GEORGE C GREENE III EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN 30.00 17.50 X X 0 0 0 CHARLES B YOUNG SECRETARY 8.00 3.50 X X 0 0 0 STEVE VANDERBOOM TREASURER 8.00 X X 0 0 0 THOMAS JOHNSTON CEO 45.00 X X 155947 0 7853 GEORGE C GREENE IV VICE CHAIR 5.00 45.00 X X 0 223117 22811 CHAPPY MCKAY BOARD MEMBER 8.00 X 0 0 0 TOM DUONG BOARD MEMBER 8.00 X 0 0 0 155947 223117 30664 1 0 1 0 0 2846637 480313 2846637 SERVICES 900099 253442 253442 253442 150085 150085 33111 90540 -57429 -57429 -57429 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 3559 3559 3559 3196294 253442 0 96215 X 98625 98625 23745 23745 174469 157022 17447 1181222 960504 101737 118981 60332 49242 5225 5865 51905 42748 4557 4600 93775 77267 8239 8269 26648 21567 4631 450 133840 10833 112715 10292 110925 110925 887070 792460 69736 24874 35450 17851 2361 15238 138988 99296 23327 16365 12316 9198 1785 1333 1377 826 413 138 237763 205663 11706 20394 31026 31026 25 25 9469 817 8347 305 3308970 2598715 372226 338029 111969 308395 4010192 3812575 7458 47482 18573 53110 0 0 121566 0 4269758 4221562 178672 243152 178672 243152 X 3963964 3232796 127122 745614 4091086 3978410 4269758 4221562 -112676 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 993305 9494426 4023737 2990637 2846637 20348742 993305 9494426 4023737 2990637 2846637 20348742 2635198 17713544 219 1400 8288 150085 159992 13 3559 3572 20512306 360224 X PART II, SHORT YEAR EXPLANATION: THE INITIAL TAX YEAR WAS A SHORT YEAR RUNNING FROM MARCH 10, 2020 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2020.
