Request We are between funding for the project. NORAD in Norway has a limit of three years. The funding stops at the end of 2007. We knew this before. The reason we have waited to apply for further grants, is that we wanted to wait for the inde - pendent evaluation that was conducted in Novem - ber. We have just received the complete report in French, it222s now being translated. Our program is a partnership with the Burkina Faso Department of Health.

It serves about about 200 patients a month, with primary health care. It also has maternit ward and does 5 to 10 deliveries per month. The clinic trains health workers from nearby communities to work in local clinics. Request This is a request for 1,500 USD to install a water tank, and pipes to provide running water to the Ak - wakwaa Clinic, in Ghana. The amount of $1,000 has been secured and given to the clinic. It was enough to purchase the water tank and install it but not for the rest of the installation. Therefore at the moment the clinic has water but needs another 500 USD to complete the installations so as to have running water inside the building. Project Mission To provide primary health care, maternal health care and health education for aspiring health work - ers to the communities in the project area. Project History AMURTEL had a small clinic in Akwakwaa f03 five years, before finally constructing it222s own building in 2005 on a land outside of town In 2007 a sec - ond building with ward space for 20 patients and a pharmacy was completed. Update The water tank has been installed in June 2008 with funds from the Foundation. Thanks to all those who contributed to the success of this 223Micro-donation224 project.

It is located in remote villages in North Tongu Distric, Volta region. The project harvests surface water in a small dam built on a seasonal river. The water is treated by slow sand filtration. The water is the pumped to a reservoir on the top of a mountain, from where the water flows by gravity to the communities. Request We seek US $1,000 to make pipeline markers for the pvc pipeline. We need more than 300 markers, US $1,000 will give 116 markers. We will install them on the pipeline through communal labor. The pipe line markers are cast in concrete with iron bars. They are 3 feet high and 7 x 7 inches square. They will be painted blue to be very visible. Let me know if you need the details of the manufacturing cost. Project Mission To assist the communities in the area to get safe water through a sutainable community owned and community managed project. Project History AMURT was first invited to the North Tongu Dis - trict in 1990 to help fight guinea worm. By 1993 AMURT stared working on the Mafi-Dekpoe water project.(this project is a partnership with Danida, it was completed in 1998). In 1994 we were invited to Mafi-Zongo to assist a group of communities there. The dam was constructed in 1994. The wa - ter treatment plant finished in 2001, the water tow - er was completed in 2003. With funding from Italy, the project opened in 2005 for 10 communities, and was expanded to 23 communities in 2006. Update A Microdonation has been approved in April 2009.

The region is extremely poor, with high rate of un - employment, dirt roads, no electricity, bore holes as a source of water, mud brick huts as shelter and more than 80% people illiterate. People tradition - ally make their living by growing their own food and rearing cattle for the most fortunate. We have 4 hectares of land divided in two plots and 3 buildings. The main structure is a dormitory style building, another big store room houses our cereal bank, and a two room building has become a small clinic. The land was given by the commu - nity who expect us to assist in their development by creating employment and helping them satisfy their basic necessities of life. Request This is our wish to improve the center by getting a water tower to fit on our bore hole. This is a basic need for our tree nursery, clinic and processing facility for Moringa production. Total needed :1000 USD Project History The Bissiri Community Center was started in the early 1990222s, after Dada Rudreshvaranandaji flew over the village on the way to Ouagadougou. What he saw from the air was a large water source, and lots of underutilized land. Once on the ground, he found the village and discovered that there was a high rate of unemployment and felt the peoples222 determined will to fulfill their most basic needs. Since its genesis, the center has expanded to include literacy classes, cultiva - tion of organic vegetables (maraichage) and a community-based cereal bank. Within the last 4 years we have been able to open a prima - ry health clinic, which employs two professional nurses. This social clinic is the first of its kind in the area, and serves over 5,000 people from Bissiri and surrounding villages.

Page 7 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/foundationemanueleantola Multi Purpose Platform in Bissiri, Burkina Faso Project Description We have been working for 2 years with the OC - ADES association (some local catholic association) so that the Fulbe Potal can possibly get a 223multi purpose platform224, that is an engine that gener - ate power for a mill, a wet mill, a husk remover, a welding platform and some extra devices. It is a great opportunity, they would install it at the mar - ket, and that group of women will run and manage it (being trained for that). Request OCADES is asking a participation of 600 USD cash plus a house to shelter the machine. Thanks to the work they did with us the Fulbe Potal managed to collect the 600 USD cash, but remains the house to build. They need support for that and the estimate is 1000 USD. Project History and Progress The Master Unit keep growing and has become a real cakra for our community here. The last donation from Foundation Emanuele Antola, the oil mill, is providing pesticide to very many of our farmers! (neem oil) and we are cooking with our own peanut oil, is really nice. We have been working a lot with Moringa, it is also getting big and the demand is growing ev - eryday for that wonderful powder. We are working with a groupement of women (see picture below, the Fulbe Potal group) and they are fantastic in work and sincerity in processing the leaves. Update A Microdonation has been approved in February 2015.

Page 8 Websites: http://emanueleantola.org http://emanueleantola.com Impact of Microdonations in Bissiri, Burkina Faso 223The second the motorcycle for our local coordinator in our activities in Sahel is completely broken old. I need to get a new one in emergency. Our motorcycle there is indispensable, the distances from vil - lage to village being so big and the roads so nonexistent. We need to get the same one i got for the project in Bissiri MU last time.224 223I am sending you some compact public health pro - posals. One idea, that your board might like, is a the purchase of a motorcycle for the public health work. Our people can use it to reach the remote villages for the health education. It222s very important. And it will be something very concrete, the motorcycle cost 1,300 ce - dis, which is just close to $900, the rest will be for reg - istration of the motorcycle and a couple of helmets. So it222s good for accounting and documentation, as it is very simple. It would make a big difference for our work. Other than that, you could select some aspects of these programs and fund them. It would be something I think the Foundation could be proud to associate with.224 226 First microdonation: Beginning 2009 our theater project got selected and we obtained a grant for buy - ing the background and some more items related to our play. It was used for 2 years of sensitization and over 30 shows on topics such as hygiene, forced mariage, HIV, sells of prohibited drugs, etc.Direct beneficiaries over 1250 people. We have a break now due to the security issued in the area, which do not allow me reach there for 6 month now. But the material is with us and will be used as soon as the conditions are met. 226 Second microdonation: December 2009, we purchased a motorcycle 125cc for the work of our coor - dinator in Bissiri. The motorcycle till today is used daily and serves all the work related to the growing project. It makes possible to the workers to reach the nearby city 12 kms away through dirt road in about 30 mn. It has been so used that we are thinking to get a second motorcycle to lighten the burden on that one. 226 Third microdonation: June 2010, we purchased a generator, a projector plus few items related to the functioning of both. We used those item regularly for our maternal programs, some cultural programs in the north (Sahel) as well as in MU and other localities where AMURT is present. The use may increase

Page 9 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/foundationemanueleantola as our AMURT work tend to focus more and more on education and facilitation of already existing groups of women. 226 Fourth microdonation: December 2010, we purchased another motorcycle 125 cc for the work of our coordinator in D351ou. We are covering more than 35 villages in a radius reaching over 40 miles of a rocky and sandy landscape. Actually the motorcycle was so much used for the purpose of supervising the work of our 33 village midwives that it is quite worn out and we already bought an other motorcycle to support it! 226 Fifth microdonation: the flour mill bought in August 2011 is functioning 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. The maintenance is being well done and it has become part of the villagers222 life now. It has proved a sustainable asset to the village, a great success. 226 Sixth microdonation: September 2011 the mil - let was purchased and stored in AMURT stores in Sahel. We first wanted to keep resell the whole of it at cost price (functioning as a bank of cereal). But recently with the Mali crisis and the refugees coming we finally decided to distribute it to some families in dire need. That is it was used as a relief in the end and the efforts to consolidate a bank of cereal are postponed to a post crisis future. 226 Seventh microdonation: February 2012 the tricycle for our MU was purchased with the help of both Antola Foundation and Aile Universelle (France). This tricycle serves so many purposes: selling of vegetables in nearby cities, transport of material (building is on going in the MU: processing facilities and a school are being build right now, as well as a workshop for bakery purpose, shed for material, etc), transport of other material for the community needs, etc. This was literally a revolution in Bissiri after a non ending area of donkey cart! 226 Eighth microdonation: July 2012 we could purchase the necessary equipment for having light in our clinic in MU (Bissiri, Ananda Viirata) at night and light for our literacy classes. The number of patients in the clinic keeps on increasing and light as brighten the nights and eased the work of our nurses! The demand has increased now and we are looking for funds to increase the power of the solar panel as the community found here a source to charge their mobiles, torch, etc!

Page 11 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/foundationemanueleantola Reproductive Health Clubs in Secondary Schools, Ghana AMURT has had a presence in North Tongu Dis - trict for 25 years. The Mafi-Zongo Water Project and the Mafi-Seva Community Clinic, with mater - nal health and health education outreach programs, have made a deep impact. Both projects are com - munity owned and managed by the community now. The major public health issues in the area are re - lated to repoductive health. There is a large num - ber of unsafe abortions, unwanted teenage preg - nancies, and sexually transmitted diseases. To address, in 2012 AMURT started clubs for teenage girls in secondary four secondary schools. In 2013 the program was extended to include boys too. In the program, staff from Mafi-Seva Community Clinic, assisted by AMURT volunteers, carry out educational programs for the teenagers. The program address very basic sex education on how children are made, pregnancy and birth, family planning, sexually transmitted diseases, abortion, rape, etc. The teenages do role play and stage dramas that they present to the other students in their schools. Once a year, AMURT sponsors and excursion the sea-side. For almost all the teenagers it will be their first experience seeing the see and playing the water. Expenses include t-shirts, stationaries, excursion, and some small allowances for the fa - cilitators. We will use the USD 1,000 like this: T-shirts 226 USD 500 Allowance and transport to facilitators USD 300 Stationary and supplies 226 USD 200 The Foundation logo/name will be printed on the T-shirts.

The community provided labour for the construction, the building materials were provid - ed by ActionAid through a distance child adop - tion program. The government posted a few staff and AMURT recruited additional staff from the lo - cal community. AMURT provided all the furniture, equipment and open inventories. Since the open - ing day, AMURT has assisted the health centre with regular doctor visits, and training for the staff. AMURT also assisted to build additional rooms, staff quarters and water supply. The health centre has an ambulance for emergency referrals. Request The building is now up, the painting has just start - ed. Here are some of the main equipments that we need for the new building: Hospital beds 226 6 Mattresses 226 6 Benches 226 15 Desks 226 5 Examination couches 226 2 Chairs 226 10 Most of the medical equipment is already in place.

It222s located in a disputed border area be - tween Cross River and Ebonyi State, just in front of an important local farmer222s market. Today the health centre has a staff of fourteen. Due to the hard work and service spirit of the staff, the number of patients is very high. It was necessary to constructed another building to ac - comodate the mothers and patients. The wing is going to be for ante-natal, delivery and post-natal with one ward for children. THe health centre has deliveries every day, averaging 45 deliveries per month in the last months.

Page 14 Websites: http://emanueleantola.org http://emanueleantola.com The Ecole Privee Neo-Humaniste in Lome, Togo re-opened in it222s new four-classroom building in Oc - tober, 2008. With nearly 100 pupils attending the Director and teachers felt an urgent need for suf - ficient number of desks/benches as well as basic classroom materials. Assistance from Foundation Emanuele Antola en - abled the school to build 64 desks/benches (for 128 pupils) and to purchase books (mathematics and a dictionary) and office supplies. Ecole Privee Neo-Humaniste in Lome, Togo 223Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.224 Nelson Mandela 223This is an urgent appeal for support from the Antola Foundation for our master unit school in Lome, Togo. Four classrooms have been constructed in the past year. This has transformed the project and public image dramatically for the best. We immediately need to arrange desks and bench - es for the classrooms. Classes are to begin on Monday, 22nd September! We needs 60 bench desks (each one seats 2 students). The cost is about US$14 15 per bench. This comes to $840 900, just within the amount you allocate per project. The school serves the local community well. The public schools areovercrowded and deliver low quality instruction. The other privateschools are costly for the lower income families. Hope for your positive reply soon.224

Page 15 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/foundationemanueleantola Update We have now good drinkable water! Beside the electric pump we have also a hand pump in case electricity is unavailable. The electric pump is not fixed at the new building for the time being because we cannot live there yet as the construction is go - ing on. But the pump stays at the neighbors and is brought to our land when needed. Instead of plastic filter we got stainless steel filter which should be working better.

Page 16 Websites: http://emanueleantola.org http://emanueleantola.com Microdonations and their impact Sometimes we wonder what was the impact of the Foun - dation222s microdonations program. What benefits did it bring and was it really useful. Here are some facts from a Microdonation to AMURT West Africa which was approved about a year ago, in the end of February 2012. The project aimed to reduce maternal mortality rate and save lives of mothers and newborns in Ebonyi State, Ni - geria. For that AMURT used the Microdonation to purchase three NASGs 226 Non-pneumatic anti-shock garments. These gar - ments are used to save the lives of women who suffer from postpartum hemorrhage, that is heavy bleeding after delivery. Oct 11, 2012 226 After Martina gave birth to her baby daughter late Tuesday night, she suffered severe post-partum hemorrhage. The birth attendants at Offia Oji Health Center applied the anti-shock garment and she was taken to Federal Teaching Hospi - tal in Abakaliki. After the heavy rains the roads were so bad, the journey took almost three hours, when it should be just over 90 minutes. Martina was transfused and is now recovering. Hopefully she will be discharged tomorrow.

Page 17 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/foundationemanueleantola Saving lives of mothers and newborns in Ebonyi State, Nigeria Oct 11, 2012 226 Post Partum Hemorrhage is the cause of more than 50 % of the maternal deaths in our project area. This year we acquired non-flatable anti-shock garments which can save lives if ap - plied in correctly and in time. Check out this Link to know more about how they work:http://www.lifewraps.org/lifewrap. htm This photo is from the training session for our health workers conducted at Gme - lina Health Center in April by Pathfinder 226 http://www.pathfinder.org Nov 30, 2012 226 Two day training in the management of Post Partum Hemorrhage started today at Odelig - bo Health Center, with fifteen train - ees from Elugwu Ettam, Ettam and Odeligbo Health Centers. The training address all aspects of PPH and intro - duces how to apply the Non-pneumat - ic-anti-shock garment to saves lives of women who go into hypovolemic shock due to bloodloss after giving birth. From AMURT West Africa (Dec 3, 2012): We concluded the Post Partum Hemorrhage Management Training today at Odeligbo. Here are Ifeyani and Blessing practicing how to apply the non-pneumatic-anti-shock-garment. This is the most effective tool available to save the lives of women who go into shock due to blood loss after giving birth.

The project urgently needs windows and grills for the primary school as the small children are study - ing in rooms with gaping holes for windows, which is extremely dangerous. Project Mission To provide quality education for the local tribal chil - dren from the villages around Uma Nivas. Request The lack of windows and grills makes it extremely dangerous, especially for the very small children. We request a microdonation of $ 1.000 for the purpose of completing this important improvement. Project History The Rarh hostel has been running for many years, initially as a primary school hostel, and in recent years, the small primary school located in Uma Nivas High School was transferred to the Rarh Hostel building, as the high school is further from the village and it was more difficult for the small children to go there due to the distance. For 2-3 years the primary school was run in 2 small downstairs rooms, but as numbers in - creased, the principal started to construct rooms on the upper floor of the building. Now, although these classrooms are not com - plete, the school is running there. Address & Contact Amurt Associa347343o de Apoio Social e Humanit341rio - Av.

It is a very nice project and serving a very poor population. They charge 1 Rp per bottle of medicine while the real cost is close to two rupees. The clinic also provides payment of two doctors who prescribe the medicines. From its inception the clinic treated over 700,000 patients. The request of micro donation is for funds to pur - chase medicines. $1,000. This would be enough to purchase 5 months of medicines - $200/month. Plus the 1 rupee charged when those medicines are given out would raise the funds to pay doctors.224 Board Member Representative

Page 28 Websites: http://emanueleantola.org http://emanueleantola.com Children play area for Ananda Marga Kindergarten in Albania Project History and Progress We started in October 2000, with one teacher in one classroom and 20 children. We expanded to two classrooms and two teachers and 40 students in January 2001. In March 2003 we moved to our present building which has three classrooms, three teachers and up to 65 children. In January 2008 we took over the management of another kindergarten which is located 2 km away from the first kg. There are two teachers and 45 children at this new school. In the past seven years several hundred children have been educated at our institution and they are doing very well in the state-run primary school sys - tem. Our school has won a reputation of academic excellence as a result of this. Project Mission To provide high quality, neo-humanist education to children living in Bathore, Albania at an affordable price. Request We would like to construct a play area in the back of the first kindergarten. The landlord has been us - ing this area for his carpentry equipment, but he is removing it now and we would like to put in swings, slides, play equipment and landscaping now. The amount needed is $ 1500 Location and Background The school is situated 15 km from Tirana, the capital of Albania. The district where the school is located is called Bathore. This area was a large state owned farm during the communist period (1945-1990). Following the collapse of communism in Albania, migrants from Albania222s northern provinces began to settle on this land (as squatters). They built houses and some of them did some small cultivation (though the plots are small). During the 1990s more people settled and today this area is a suburb (with a rural feel, as many people still keep cows and chickens) with over 35,000 people. The people who settled in Bathore did so because there was no employment in the rural areas where they came from, as the state economic structure of the communist years suddenly collapsed. They came to the Tirana area in hopes of jobs. But even today, more than 50% of the population in this district is unemployed and some of the families face extreme hardship.

Recently the project started to take more shape thanks to funding received from CENAL (National Book Center). At the moment the project is being implemented in 2 villages: la Guairita, 75 families, and Madre Vieja, 60 families. In each village one mother has a small library of children264s books lent to her by the Center. Once a week she goes door to door, talks to the children and to the adults in the house who read to their children and have them choose another book. Every month we do a collec - tive activity with all the children in the village which include story reading, painting, drama etc. Address & Contact Didi Ananda Sadhana Directora Centro MADRE Carretera Mamporal 226 San Jos351 de Barlovento, Estado Miranda Tel351fonos. 0234.514.56.63 / 0234.511.85.49/0416.400.36.28 Email:anandasadhana@yahoo.com
