Since 1979, Outreach International has helped communities overcome the devastating effects of poverty by addressing a multitude of issues, including child survival, literacy, universal education, clean water, food security, microenterprise, hunger and malnutrition. The poet Edwin Arlington Robinson said there are two kinds of thanks: the quick emotion we feel for what we get, and the larger gratitude we feel for what we give. I hope the stories on these pages – and the stories we’ll be sharing throughout 2012 – connect you with that deeper feeling that comes when our giving is connected to our core principles. The principles that drew me to Outreach International years ago as a supporter are the same values that lead me to serve the organization as its President and CEO.

WHo WE arE Outreach International is a nonprofit international humanitarian organization dedicated to ending poverty, one community at a time.

Founded in 1979, Outreach International began its work because of the relentless compassion of Charles Neff and others within the Community of Christ. More than 30 years later, those founding values continue to guide our work. We uphold the inherent worth and dignity of all people and stand in solidarity with those suffering the injustice of poverty.

Outreach International has a proven record of success working with our global neighbors to create lasting solutions to the persistent and often life-threatening challenges presented by extreme poverty, including access to clean water, education, income generation, sustainable agriculture, heath care...and hope. We call our work Sustainable GoodSM.

Outreach International has been awarded the Independent Charities Seal of Excellence for meeting the highest standards of program and cost effectiveness; fewer than 0.2% of U.S. charities have earned this Seal. In addition, Outreach International is recognized as a Four Star Charity by Charity Navigator and is a Better Business Bureau accredited charity, meeting all 20 standards for accountability set by the BBB.

OUR APPROACH

Every donation you make, every dollar you fundraise and every goat you give is invested in people to create meaningful,

lasting change. Carding’s story on page 6 shows how.

The poet Edwin Arlington Robinson said there are two kinds of thanks: the quick emotion we feel for what we get, and the larger gratitude we feel for what we give.

I hope the stories on these pages – and the stories we’ll be sharing throughout 2012 – connect you with that deeper feeling that comes when our giving is connected to our core principles.

The principles that drew me to Outreach International years ago as a supporter are the same values that lead me to serve the organiza-tion as its President and CEO. Because we are just beginning to know each other, I want to share these principles with you – standards that Outreach International embodies every day in our commitment to end poverty for vulnerable children and families:

WE TAKE INITIATIVE to create big transformational change in the world. Our actions are spurred by a vision that surpasses reason.

WE WORK HARD. Never let it be said that others in the world suffered or failed to reach their potential because our thinking was just too small.

WE ARE CONNECTED. In our partner communities and with you, our supporters, we commit to each other and honor our mutual dignity and humanity.

And, WE ARE GRATEFUL. We feel blessed by the beautiful con-nections to our community members around the world. Our volun-teers, field teams, advocates, staff and partners teach us how to be

better human beings. And we are thankful for each one of you – we are inspired by your creative, compas-

sionate and contagious commitment to real change, right now.

For myself, I wake up each morning grate-ful for the chance to be part of a movement that intelligently creates permanent transformation, like the change taking place in Vida’s commu-

nity (page 2) and Carding’s life (page 6). Our approach to sustainable

change works. Now it’s time for us to continue expanding the number of children and families who partner with us. We bring a unique perspec-tive of personal transformation to the work of eliminating extreme poverty. With your help, we are changing the world.

Thank you for all you give.

In Burol, Philippines, Vida’s water buffalo is a lovable cash cow that

gives nutritious milk, too

INTERVIEW BY Ami Dasig Salazar

Research and Documentation Unit

Outreach Philippines, Inc. (OPI)

WATER BUFFALO?

Outreach International recently made a multi-year commitment to

partner with the community of Burol, Philippines. Filth, hunger and a

startling lack of resources once characterized the desperately poor

community. But after three short years, Burol is completely transformed.

Of the 43 development projects led and managed by community

members, the Water Buffalo Dairy Project is one of the most impressive.

AMI: Vida, what motivated you to begin working for change in your community?

VIDA: When Outreach International began partnering with Burol, I decided to be part of the working group because I wanted to have a latrine. I never imagined that our efforts would expand and eventually include other projects like the Water Buffalo Dairy Project.

AMI: So it started with latrines, but here you are leading the water buffalo project.

VIDA: Yes, I really wanted the group to succeed, and I thought, “If I refuse to work for the group, who else will?” I believe that once you are tasked to do something, you have to accept that responsi-bility and fulfill it with everything in your capacity. So I accepted the nomination to become a leader. To encourage others, we named our group SAMANATayo, which means Let Us Join.

AMI: What difference can a water buffalo make?

VIDA: The main goal was to provide a source of income for our community members. We needed more income in order to pay for our children’s school fees and to buy food, especially during lean months and calamities [like flooding and typhoons]. A water buffalo calf can be sold for $465, and an adult cow can be sold for as much as $1,000. Not only that, families can use the milk for their children, and extra milk can be sold for even more income.

AMI: What challenges have you faced?

VIDA: When we allowed ourselves to dream of owning a water buffalo, many of our neighbors were cynical. They said it was impossible. But we received funding from Outreach International,

and several of us attended all the required training seminars. We gained knowledge about the proper way to milk a water buffalo, and we learned how to plant napier grass as fodder for the animals.

AMI: It’s been a year since you received your water buffalo. She’s healthy, happy and recently gave birth to her first calf. Will you sell the calf?

VIDA: When we organized SAMANATayo, we decided that each water buffalo recipient would give three calves back to the organization so that all our members can have an animal of their own. When my calf is a little older, it will be given to the next group member. My water buffalo, on the other hand, has been artificially inseminated and will soon bear her next calf.

AMI: Your hard work has paid off – this must be a great feeling.

VIDA: Yes, I am very happy with what we have achieved, but mostly I am proud because these achievements do not just benefit us personally. They benefit our entire community for years to come.

Just one year after Vida received her water buffalo, a calf was born (below). Today, the calf is strong, healthy and nearly old enough to be donated to the next group member, where the sustainable gift of a water buffalo will keep giving for years to come.

Read the full feature story by Ami at outreach-international.org. Just search on the keyphrase “Got Water Buffalo”

Nearly 8 million Filipino children are underweight,

by some estimates. It’s a

big problem, but the solution may have been staring

families in the face. Water buffalo milk is now touted as

“the most complete food.”

Compared to cow’s milk, water buffalo milk has more calcium, phosphorous, magnesium,

protein, Vitamins A and C, and antioxidants.

Plus, it contains more milk solids, making it a good

energy drink. So, got water

Fabian and Teresa have 7 children. They are farmers living in the rural village of Zimwanda, in Northern Malawi, one of Africa’s poorest nations.

Before you began working with Outreach International, how did you feed your family of 9?We cultivated groundnuts and soybeans. And of course we planted corn, for our daily meal of nsima. But because our corn yield was so low, we would run out of food in December or January. And then, until April, we would suffer. During these hungry months, we had to send our children to work in order to buy food.

What has changed for your family and community?When Outreach International came to our community, they brought hope. We began to learn new farming techniques and new ways to earn income.

What has made the most difference?Our community goat project. We saw the benefits and decided to have goats of our own. Now, if we have no food, we can sell a goat and use the money to feed our family. We also are able to use the income for our children’s school fees. Three of our children have finished high school!

What’s next?Some of our neighbors at first did not want to be involved. But now they have seen the benefits – not just for our family, but for the entire community. We want to help them share in this goodness.

...Hand-washing StationsDeMichel School is located in Carrefour, Haiti, a desperately poor suburb of Port-au-Prince. For the 100 boys and girls attending the school there – all survivors of the 2010 earthquake – water had become a curse.

Tropical rainwater snaked through the streets, mixed with shallow groundwater and pit latrines, swept up fecal particu-lates, and became a river of contamination. A year after the earthquake, these kids now faced another killer: cholera.

So Outreach International’s Haiti Field Team – on the ground to direct the reconstruction of schools damaged or destroyed by the earthquake – set engineering plans aside and stepped up to help lead the response to the recent cholera outbreak.

Team Haiti led dozens of sanitation seminars and distributed more than 200,000 water purification tablets,

bars of soap and oral rehydration packets. At DeMichel School, students took time from their usual studies to learn how washing hands saves lives, but the school itself had substandard sanitation facilities…and no facilities for hand washing after using the toilet and before meals. As a result, all of the children at DeMichel were threatened by preventable disease. Seven were infected by cholera.

But thanks to gifts to Outreach International and a partnership with Just a Drop, DeMichel students now have a fighting chance at good health.

Improvements have been made to the existing toilets, and a new water tank harvests rainfall for an innovative catchment system. Students now have a filterable source of drinking water and love sending germs down the drain at their new hand-washing station.

With school improvements come more students. Already, enrollment is up nearly 25 percent at DeMichel, where water is no longer a curse but a blessing.

...Soap and Hygiene EducationStudents in Cite Soleil, Haiti, say “thank you” for the simple gift of soap and the chance to learn how hygiene helps in the fight against cholera.

Carding’sSTORY

STORY BY HARRY ASHENHURST

Until recently, Carding provided for his wife and four kids the only way he knew how — as an illegal logger in the Sierra Madre mountain range of the Philippines.

I met Carding during my visit to the Philip-pine island of Luzon, where Outreach Inter-national first began its work to break the cycle of poverty in some of the world’s poorest and toughest communities.

My decision to make the 23-hour flight to Manila was made when I accepted the invitation to chair Outreach International’s Board of

Directors. I made up my mind then to visit – at my expense – as many of our partner communities as possible. Including this one, Rio Chico.

Nestled at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountain range, 75 miles north of Manila, Rio Chico is an environmental hot spot. The mountain’s once lush forests of wild giant palm trees have been stripped by illegal logging, threatening Rio Chico’s existence with flash floods, mudslides and the loss of income.

The illegal loggers face other dangers: serious injury, accidental death, steep fines and imprisonment. But for landless peasants living in extreme poverty, telling them to stop logging is like asking them to stop eating.

Carding was one who didn’t have a lot of options. Most of the arable land in Rio Chico is owned by a few wealthy landlords. So he turned to cutting and selling “hot logs.”

He admits that this wasn’t how his life was supposed to turn out. His parents had had high expectations for their first son, the fifth of 10 children. They were determined that Carding should graduate from school and attend college. But they were very poor.

“I remember my first year in school,” Carding says. “I had one pencil and one piece of paper to my name. But I made it through high school and was even on my way to college. Then my father died.”

Carding’s dreams for a better future were buried with his father. Not even 16 years old, Carding was now the head of his family. He went to the Sierra Madre mountains and joined the thousands of others there working as illegal loggers. It’s dangerous work. During his 20 years on the mountain, Carding has seen a number of close friends die as a result of accidents.

That might have been Carding’s fate, too, if Outreach International hadn’t begun working in Rio Chico. The develop-ment worker, Liezl, was organizing meetings, bringing villagers together to identify their most pressing problems. Amidst initial protests from his wife and family, Carding stopped going to the mountain and started attending those meetings.

The first major challenge for Carding and his neighbors was land rights. The peasants of Rio Chico were essentially squatters, but Outreach International helped families obtain land titles and begin farming.

Just a few years later, Carding is giving me a tour of his land and telling me about his success with goats, water buffalo, rice and other crops. Here are just a few highlights:

• Carding is a beneficiary of a community goat project, organized with Outreach International’s help. He started with a breeding pair of goats and now has a herd of 40. The sale of goats is an important source of income for the family.

• He now farms about 4.5 acres. There, he grows squash and more than 60 fruit trees. Each tree produces more than 40 kilos of mangos, which Carding sells at market.

• A community water buffalo project has increased the productivity of Carding’s farm. From sharing a single water buffalo, Carding has now raised 20 buffalo. By selling some of the stock, he purchased 3.5 more acres and is now a successful rice farmer.

• Carding’s family has enough income for food, clothing, medicine and school fees. And there’s enough left over to reinvest in the future. He recently purchased 2 acres of land in the hills, where his son will one day farm.

Along the way, Outreach International helped Carding and his neighbors gain the skills and confidence to network with local and provincial government agencies and to write and present proposals on behalf of their village.

Carding told me about his first meeting with the local mayor. He had practiced his speech for days, but standing face-to-face with the elected official, Carding choked. He completely lost his voice. “I was devastated,” Carding says, “but I didn’t give up.”

Following a typhoon in 2009, and the government’s bro-ken promises to repair roads that linked poor farmers with the markets, Carding spoke passionately at a large public gathering with the mayor’s office. “At first,” Carding recalls, “he just blew me off. But I didn’t leave until I had a verbal promise to fix the road. Three days later, the repairs were done.”

Carding’s eyes sparkle as he speaks. At times his voice breaks with emotion. This is a man truly transformed. He is a successful entrepreneur. He has emerged as a respected leader of his village. He is consulting with nearby hamlets, sharing what he has learned from Outreach International. For these fellow Filipinos, Carding has an impassioned message:

“Don’t give up on your dreams. With Outreach Interna-tional as your partner, you can take control of your life. You can be the person you were meant to be.”

“Don’t give up on your dreams. With Outreach International as your partner, you can take control of your life. You can be the person you were meant to be.”

Last July, fighting poverty got a lot more

personal. Just a few weeks after launching

myoutreach-international.org, your personal fundraising

pages were helping thousands of women, men

and children gain hope, dignity and self-reliance. Congratulations to these

top fundraisers in 2011:

Wally’s Birthday Wish Wally Smith started with what he thought was a big goal – help 82 people in honor of his 82nd birthday. More than $19K later, Wally’s friends made his birthday wish come true and proved “that an old guy like me can still make a difference!”

CONGRATULATIONS TO 2011’s TOP CHAMPIONS

Kassandra’s Dreads Must Go Ready for a new ’do? Kassandra Unger was, and she decided to use the occasion to “bring attention, awareness and a little aid to those suffering from poverty.” She asked her friends to get behind her and helped style a new life for 156 people.

Alex Townsend Birthday Fund Alex would have turned 23 on August 12, 2011. In celebration of his life, Alex’s family asked for gifts that could help another young person reach their life’s full potential. To date, Alex’s birthday fund has raised enough to touch the lives of 139 others this year.
