During the reporting year, WHFC continued programming focused on Orphan Care and Family Preservation. In terms of Orphan Care, our operational funding of two orphanages in Guatemala benefitted over 200 children, providing them with a holistic array of services including proper nutrition, stable and trained caregivers, and educational, medical and psychological services. WHFC also supported the orphanages efforts to reunify 25 Guatemalan parents with their children, by funding court mandated educational and support services. Additionally, WHFC supplied much sought after baby formula to 122 infants and sick children with a low likelihood of family care solutions in 10 orphanages in Burundi. Family Preservation programming continued to focus on stabilizing the family by promoting physical health and mental wellbeing, nutrition, education and financial empowerment initiatives. An overarching emphasis on gender equality ran through all WHFCs work, prioritizing a majority of female beneficiaries across programs. Approximately 2,670 individuals in Ethiopia, Burundi and Guatemala received services that ensure families remain intact, so their children dont fall into orphanage care. This reporting year, WHFC added 60 new families to our programming and expanded our Financial Savings groups, or Self-Help Groups, to 26, with over 300 participants. These Self Help Groups offer families emotional support as well as microloans to support business development, which has proven critical in lifting families forever out of poverty. Additionally, WHFC deepened and expanded its holistic wrap around medical, nutritional and educational services in Ethiopia, Guatemala and Burundi, providing impactful services to over 1,000 families as well as the broader communities. In Burundi, WHFC constructed three classrooms at the Community Center and started a tutoring program for over 300 students. WHFC also began renovating a local medical clinic that will provide the first health care access to this community once it opens in 2026. In Guatemala, a dental clinic, daycare and organic garden were established on the Community Center site providing additional wrap around services to the community. In Ethiopia, WHFC re-engaged with two medical facilities we previously built, sending a medical mission to Leku Hospital that offered three different trainings and surgeries; and renovating and replenishing supplies and medicines at the medical clinic in the northern town of Adwa that had been destroyed by war. WHFC also enhanced these facilities by funding operations for two mental health clinics, offering some of the first mental health support services in the country. The catchment area that our medical infrastructure serves in Ethiopia alone is well over 1 million. As such WHFC can claim over 115,000 beneficiaries due solely to our medical programming. In total, WHFC and our programming touched over 120,000 individuals around the world.
