3. I am Kim Vann, the District 10 Foundation Ambassador
I am Kim Vann, the District 10 Foundation Ambassador. I come from the Zonta Club of Fort Smith, Arkansas and this is my 13th year as a member of Zonta. My mom, Sheryl Flanagin is our Lt Governor- so we are a mother daughter Zonta duo! Also in the audience is my daughter Katie, our ZIT- Zontian in Training.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak today about the foundation and hopefully here in a little bit we will raise a lot of money!
The foundation is the service portion of Zonta International. Funds raised are by donations only – your dues you pay every spring – they do not go to the foundation- they are strictly for operating.
I love the saying at the bottom of the scree: Your gift gives her a voice, an opportunity, a chance,

4. Fundraising Goal
US$5,376,000
For our fundraising goal is US$ 5,376,000. The goal was set by the President-Elect , accepted by the ZIF Finance Committee and approved by the Zonta International Board to be sent to the Convention for voting.
The projects were adopted by the Convention. By adopting the projects, clubs are committed to funding the programs. We raise funds to support the programs of the current biennium. If we do not raise the full amount, we have to use reserves. It is important that we do not rely on the reserves and raise the money in the current biennium.
The Rose Fund is the unrestricted fund which is used to complete the funding of the other funds at the end of the biennium. It is always okay to go over this budget amount.

Create opportunities for vulnerable and excluded girls to realize their rights to an education in a secure and protective environment.
Let Us Learn Madagascar is the nation's only program addressing issues of gender parity in education
This new project will teach girls that they have a right to education in a secure and protective environment
Currently, about 90 percent of Madagascar's population lives on less than US$2 per day, leaving children particularly vulnerable.
. Let Us Learn Madagascar is the nation's only program addressing issues of gender parity in education.
Aside from poverty, Madagascar is prone to natural disasters, which make it even more difficult to escape poverty and prioritize education for children.

Reaching out of school children
Expanding girls’ education
Improving quality outcomes for learners
1000 families will be supported over the 2 year period.
The program is focused on three pillars:
Reaching out-of-school children
Expanding girls’ education
Improving quality outcomes for learners
Barriers to access:
One out of three girls will become pregnant before the age of 18
junior secondary school enrollment fees are very expensive for families, forcing parents to elect one child to continue their education often leaving girls behind.
Almost 2/3 of teachers have no formal training
School buildings are in horrible shape and lack sanitation and water resources

9. Let Us Learn Madagascar: An Integrated Program for Adolescent Girls Process
Expected Outcomes:
1,042 post-primary teachers receive training
600 students receive catch-up classes
1,000 households receive conditional cash transfers for a two-year period
Four classrooms are rehabilitated and constructed with appropriate facilities
50 percent of girls in school know about protection services that are available
So what is this new project hoping to accomplish?
Help over 1000 teachers receive training
Construct 4 junior secondary school classrooms complete with furniture, teaching materials, and a sports field. And they will include appropriate wash and latrine facilities
Conditional Cash Transfers households will receive these for a 2 year period– They will go to vulnerable girls from low income families in their final year of primary school with conditions that include enrollment, passing grades, and minimum absenteeism from school.

10. Delaying Early Marriage in Niger
Goals:
To reduce early marriage and early pregnancy in critical mass of communities in all regions of Niger
Interventions are planned on three levels:
Adolescent girls
Community
National
Niger has the highest child marriage rate in the world. 30 percent of adolescent girls are married before 15 years old and 77 percent before percent of them give birth before 17 years old. Girls are exposed to medical and social risks, limiting their potential and their development.
The goal of this project is to reduce early marriage and early pregnancy in a critical mass of communities and departments in all the regions of Niger.
Interventions are planned at three levels to attain the following results:
Adolescent girls level : Adolescent girls are healthy, educated and reinforced with essential life skills, knowledge and resources, allowing them to defend their rights, reduce vulnerability, and participate in the socio-economic development of their communities
Community level: Traditional and religious leaders, parents and others who have power are involved in positive change of social norms in their community, and promote later marriages and pregnancies
National level: The existing laws on the age of marriage (currently 14 for girls) are reviewed and improved, and multidimensional needs of adolescents are addressed in national policies and programs.
