A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRWHAT DO SELFIE STICKS AND RELIEF INTERNATIONAL HAVE IN COMMON?

All innovation can be as transformational as the cell phone or as whimsical as the selfie stick. All innovations share the inspiration of examining old challenges in a fresh way.

In 2014, Relief International (RI) embraced innovation that made us stronger, more efficient, and more capable of responding to the people we serve.

Our committed team rolled out a new way to capture our impact — easy-to-read dashboards with performance measurement, enhanced evaluation and measurement, superior reporting to donors and supporters. We welcomed our new CEO, Nancy Wilson, whose visits to staff and clients around the globe led us to develop an exciting strategic plan to guide our future. And we realized that we are good, even very good, in a number of areas.

RI executes high-caliber projects in health and education, and in economic opportunity. We excel in water, sanitation and hygiene, known as WASH in the humanitarian sector. The way forward — to best serve our beneficiaries — lies in nurturing and building on our strengths and expertise. Day by day. Year after year.

We thank all the many individuals and organizations who have collaborated so meaningfully with RI throughout the year — dedicated staff, devoted partners, loyal donors and supportive governments around the globe. On a highly personal level, I want to publicly acknowledge our fellow Board mem-ber, Geoff Bell, who diligently served as interim CEO at the beginning of 2014. Geoff led our transition before Nancy’s arrival and strengthened our financial management, our staff development and our continuing delivery of high quality services to our clients.

Old questions. New answers. Together, they sparked new energy to Relief International, sustainable energy that happily has carried into 2015. Thanks for joining the RI family on this ride. CHIP LEVENGOODChairperson of the Board

ANNUAL REPORT 2014

A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT ONWARD INTO THE FUTURE

When I joined Relief International in March 2014, I was immediately impressed by our many assets: Our people, programs, partners and expertise. I also observed that the scope of our work was as big as our desire to reduce suffering. With such a large vista, it was easy to get lost when we described our work to others.

We quickly launched an effort to sharpen our focus and to create a more compelling message about what we do and how we do it. Over the following nine months, I met with staff around

the world, convened the first ever strategy meeting between regional directors and senior management, and learned

what was important to my colleagues and to the people we serve. Together, we crafted a way

forward for the organization.

That way forward is captured in our Strategic Plan. The fundamental goal of the strategic plan, which stretches from 2015 to 2020, is to answer just one question:

How will Relief International make a substan-tial and significant difference in the lives of our

planet’s most vulnerable people?

The answer is clear. By 2020, Relief International will be a leading organization partnering with vulnera-

ble communities. We will get there by doing things The RI Way. That means we will embed local participation, an integrated service delivery approach, civic skills and partnership into every program. These elements turn short-term gains into long-term impact. We will invest in our strengths, focusing on four primary areas: education, health, economic opportunity, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).

Approved by the Board of Directors in December 2014, the strategic plan has become the roadmap for our energetic journey into the future. We know we will get there with your support!

ANNUAL REPORT 2014

SOMALIAAFRICA

HEALTHY ANIMALS, HEALTHY COMMUNITIESAhmed Arablow is a member of the Farawayne village in northwestern Somalia. For many years, he made his living by selling khat, a flowering green shrub that doubles

as a stimulant drug and is ubiquitous in Somalia. Users chew the green leaves throughout the day, keeping a ball of cud

in their cheeks, much like chewing tobacco. Some us-ers smoke the chat, make tea from it or sprinkle it on food.

But when Relief International came to Farawayne to train residents in animal health, Ahmed decid-ed to sign up. The Somali economy depends largely on livestock, making animal disease — and the dis-

eases that can be passed between animals and hu-mans — a critical concern. RI trained local community

members to recognize and help reduce the instance of these zoonotic diseases. As a full-fledged Community Animal

Health Worker, Ahmed now provides for his family and contributes a much-needed service to his community.

A POWERFUL PRESS MAKES POWERFUL PEOPLE In 2014, RI trained more than 50 journalists at the first ever Media Training & Resource Centre in Garowe, Punltand State, Somalia. RI gave priority to women journalists during the se-lection process, and roughly half of the pro-gram participants were women. Our team established the media-training center in 2012 to empower the Somali press and de-liver meaningful, impact-driven reporting to the general public. Today, the center is a hub for Somali journalists to pursue greater press freedom and to foster civil society through public dialogue.

SUPPORTING LIVELIHOODS IN DARFURWhen Monira joined RI’s Community Saving and Loans Association program in north Darfur she re-ceived a loan of 2,500 Sudanese pounds (SDG), or about $570/£350. She used the money to open a shop selling sugar, oil, tea, biscuits, vegetables and other items in demand in her community. Monira’s business quickly took off, bringing in 700 SDG per month, or about $160/£100. Within two months, she bought four sheep to begin a sec-ond business. Today, Monira is among 1,127 people reached by the program, which has helped her provide a healthy living for her family.

SAVING LIVES WITH AN AWARD-WINNING NUTRITION PROGRAM When 8-month-old Rasha Ahmed Issa arrived at the Relief International-supported Out-patient Therapeutic Program Center at Darfur’s Zam Zam Camp the baby girl weighed only 10 pounds/4.7 kilograms. Her tiny upper arm measured only 2.5 inches/7 cen-timeters around. She was severely malnourished, and had other complications.

After just two months, Rasha had gained nearly 4.5 pounds/2 kilograms, tipping the scales at a health-

ier 15 pounds/6.8 kilograms. Her upper arm had plumped to more than 4.5

inches/11.6 centimeters. RI’s efforts on behalf

of Rasha and other children like her

won a model project award from UNICEF.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014

CLEANING UP AFTER TYPHOON HAIYANDuring the day it was bad enough. But at night, Christine was forced to trudge across her neighbor’s muddy field in near total darkness to take her small children to the bathroom. All this because of Typhoon Haiyan.

Known locally as Typhoon Yolanda, Haiyan tore through the Philippines on November 8, 2013. With winds that reached 195 miles per hour/315 kilometers per hour and sea surg-es up to 20 feet/6 meters high, the storm devastated 41 provinces and displaced 3.4 million people. RI teamed with Kai-ser-Permanente to send medical staff immediately after the storm, deploying emergency doctors, surgeons, nurses and other medical personnel to a hos-pital and mobile clinics around Tacloban City on Leyte Island.

But much more work was left. Christine and families like hers were without latrines and basic sanitation facilities. RI launched a program that installed a new concrete water tank and two communal faucets in the Balud community on Leyte Island, where chil-dren were often sent across unstable bridges to fetch potable water. RI supported the construction of shared and communal latrines in communities like Bagacay, Barugo, eliminating the unhygienic practice of open defecation. In the community of San Agus-tin, Jaro, where nearly 70 percent of households were without a latrine, RI teamed with local leaders to construct 12 new communal latrines.

And Christine? She signed up for the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) program offered by Relief International and UNICEF, where she learned to build latrines — and to teach others how to do the same. She sold one of her family’s pigs to buy materials and spent the next two days applying what she’d learned. Today, Christine teaches others.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014

PIRATES AND TIGERS AND CRABS, OH MY!Sotish Munda once scratched out a living collecting crabs from the mangrove forest known as the Sundarbans.

“It was a terrifying experience each and every time,” So-tish said. “There was a constant fear of being attacked

by man-eating tigers. We also used to watch out for forest officials and pirates who would endlessly in-timidate us.”

Most communities in the Sundarbans, the world’s largest continuous mangrove forest, make a liv-

ing by harvesting traditional resources, such as honey, snails, oysters, crabs, fish, wood and palm

leaves. With the forest endangered — and full of dan-gers to the people — Relief International partnered with communities to create alternative sources of income.

Wood collector Sudir Rishi had pulled his eldest son out of school to help support the family. With financial support from RI, Sudir launched a leather-curing business. Today, he collects leather from local villages then refines it for sale at market. He earned enough to buy his wife a sewing machine, which she uses to make clothes for paying customers. Nurun Nahar Begum, a widow who once foraged crabs and worked as a maid to support her children, received business and asset management training, and today runs a successful crab fattening business.

Sotish is also prospering.

“Now that I have my own crab fattening business outside the forest,” he said, “I can earn enough to run my family of five.”

ANNUAL REPORT 2014

A SAFE SPACE TO PLAY AND LEARNJassem and his wife, Ibtisam, arrived at Za’atari refu-gee camp in north Jordan with their five young chil-dren after fleeing their home in Daraa, Syria. The couple registered their two daughters, Ala’ and Ji-nan, with RI’s remedial education program in the camp and quickly noticed its impact on the girls.

“The existence of the RI center in the camp is very important for children like my daughter Ji-nan because she is so active and needs a safe place to play and let go of her energy,” Jassem said. “And Ala’s English language skills have improved af-ter joining the program.”

In partnership with UNICEF, RI offers a remedial education center that provides Syrian refugee children with educational classes to help them make up for lost schooling. The children also enjoy a robust slate of recreational activities.

“Both of my daughters return to the tent happy and cheerful because they enjoy the recreational activities the center offers, which are not offered enough in the formal schools,” said Ibtisam.

PARENTS AS CHANGE AGENTSLearning often starts at home. Relief International partnered with UNICEF to improve the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) practices of Jordanian and Syrian students at 45 schools in Irbid and Mafraq governorates, and to make their parents an integral part of the education process. Improving hygiene practices reduces the instance of commu-nicable diseases. RI established or improved 54 “hygiene clubs,” groups that meet to discuss effective hygiene practices. The clubs engaged more than 1,000 parents, many of whom went on to spread the word by conversing with other parents about cleanliness and hygiene. The clubs have reached a total of nearly 15,000 parents.

“This education is important for our lives, health and community,” said one parent. “We have to work with RI so the success will be sustainable.”
