What we are aiming to accomplish: We are working to end Kenya’s generational poverty crisis and systemic corruption by equipping its children for compassionate and courageous leadership. We believe transformational education is the answer for each child, for the Rift Valley area, and for Kenya. By replacing barriers with proven solutions in our key community, a core group of Kenya's most impoverished children will be raised to be the agents of change that influence tomorrow. To that end, we have founded K-12 Cornerstone Preparatory Academy, LEAP Preschool, community development programs, and an early childhood development program.  Our goals fall into 4 major categories listed below: 1. EARLY CHILDHOOD INTERVENTION  GOAL 1 - To positively impact the way that our future students are being parented in the earliest years of their lives, in order to improve their chances of success at Cornerstone Preparatory Academy and beyond  GOAL 2 - To improve the early language and literacy skills of children ages 0-4 in our Cornerstone catchment area  GOAL 3 - To ensure all incoming students to Cornerstone Preparatory Academy have passed through a vibrant school readiness program. 2. SPIRITUAL GROWTH  GOAL 4 - To understand who God is and what He created us for  GOAL 5 - To be a community that is well rooted in the word of God so that faith directs our lives  GOAL 6 - To develop students who are successful in and out of the classroom 3. PHYSICAL GROWTH  GOAL 7 -  To promote a healthy routine of physical fitness among our students in order to enhance their overall development  GOAL 8 - To provide basic healthcare and training for all Cornerstone students, so that they may be able to learn optimally  GOAL 9 - To ensure that all Cornerstone students understand the importance of and are provided with the best possible nutrition for optimal learning 4. ACADEMIC GROWTH  GOAL 10 - To recruit and develop a highly competent teaching staff that will provide quality education to enable Cornerstone students to achieve their full potential  GOAL 11 - To acquire the best teaching and learning resources, including educational technology, for effective delivery of the curriculum and to enhance academic excellence  GOAL 12 - To promote growth and development of higher order thinking skills that will empower students to become active problem solvers in real world situations  GOAL 13 - To provide students with experiences on and off campus that will teach them to view themselves as leaders and take initiative to transform their own community

1. Operating budgets in Kenya are funded by income provided by almost 1100 monthly recurring child sponsors. These budgets total $86,097 monthly to support eight departments which are Administration, Caregiving (Academics at the academy), Social Work, Catering, Facilities, Spiritual, Community Outreach, and Healthcare. 2. We have 140 highly qualified Kenyan staff who run our children’s home, preschool, academy, and community programs. There are also two American couples, including the co-founders, and an American RN who live full time in Kenya helping to oversee the ministry. 3. We have an endowment seeded with $400,000 in 2015. The endowment fund was established to provide for scholarships for college education and/or vocational training for our students. 4. Our U.S. Office is led by an Executive Director, operations manager, volunteer coordinator, bookkeeper, sponsor relations coordinator and contracted marketing team. 5. We have a U.S. Board of Trustees with 7 members meeting biannually. The Board’s role is:   • 1) Duty of care: Trustees are expected to oversee and approve organizational planning and decision-making and to make sound and informed judgments. • 2) Duty of loyalty: When acting on behalf of Naomi's Village, Inc., trustees must put the interests of the nonprofit before any personal or professional concerns and avoid potential conflicts of interest. • 3) Duty of obedience: Trustees must ensure that Naomi's Village, Inc. complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and that it remains committed to its established mission and vision. 6. In Kenya we have a Board for Naomi's Village and Cornerstone Preparatory Academy. 7. We have a 5-year Strategic Plan which has guided and directed the development of the above goals and strategies. 8. We have 2 major properties that have been developed. The first, Naomi’s Village, 5 acres with a beautiful home and resources to provide a healthy balanced life for children from birth through teenage years. Also at Naomi’s Village we have a guest house that caters to over 250 visitors annually. The second is Cornerstone Preparatory Academy, a state of the art school, housing students from K-8. Our school has large classrooms, dining hall, library, computer and science lab, cafeteria and a full-size gymnasium. 9. Our work is supported by church, school and corporate partners located throughout the US. 10. We founded a local ministry partners association in the Great Rift Valley 6 years ago called the Maai Mahiu Ministry Partners. This association meets regularly to 1) share resources and ideas, 2) collaborate on major initiatives like education, clean water, and community development, and 3) plan strategically about how we can cut costs and prevent duplication of services. Another long-term goal of this association is to gain more clout when dealing with corrupt government officials and agencies in Kenya, who we all need vital assistance from.

We know we are making progress by tracking our outcomes utilizing the Evaluation and Management protocols outlined in our Strategic Plan 2016-2020. See attached document. We also track our progress by using specific indicators. Some specific progress indicators: 1.We track academic progress through quarterly standardized testing at all grade levels, comparing our students’ scores against those of others taking the same tests nationwide. 2.We track physical growth and nutritional status through anthropomorphic measurements on every child, twice annually. This allows us to plot each child’s weight for his or her age and height on a curve that assigns a percentile score, thereby enabling our medical team to track the progress of our nutritional interventions for every child. This is key because our population contains a high percentage of children with malnutrition, some presenting to us initially with macro- and micronutrient deficiencies. Since one of our key interventions is the provision of 12 nutritionally balanced meals and 12 snacks weekly, we track these anthropomorphic measurements in order to monitor each child’s progress. 3. We monitor the interventions we make in the community with qualitative assessment tools such as structured and unstructured interviews, questionnaires, financial tracking of table banking and microfinance initiatives, and group forums to solicit feedback and suggestions for future interventions. 4. We monitor our financial health through independent annual audits of both our school and children’s home. We also carefully track our cash biweekly through financial reconciliations of all receipts and transactions.
