RVF'S MAJOR INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE SAFE WATER FOR DRINKING AND PERSONAL HYGIENE TO CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES IN GAZA WAS RESUMED IN APRIL 2024. BY THE END OF 2024, RVF HAD INSTALLED 11 FULLY OPERATIONAL DESALINATION UNITS POWERED BY SOLAR SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE DRINKING WATER AND A MEANS OF PERSONAL HYGIENE TO THE DISPLACED POPULATION AT LOCATIONS THE SOUTHERN PART OF GAZA, AS THE NORTH HAD BEEN CLOSED BY THE MILITARY. THIS INITATIVE, MADE POSSIBLE BY A GRANT FROM THE UAE, DIRECLTY BENEFITED OVER 90,000 CIVILIANS, PRIMARILY CHILDREN. ACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATER IS A GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITY. IN THE GAZA STRIP, HOME TO OVER 2 MILLION PEOPLE, THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE NEED FOR POTABLE WATER TO HELP CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES SURVIVIE. RVF IS CONTINUING THIS LIFE-SAVING WORK IN 2025. GIVEN THE SCOPE OF THE DESTRUCTION IN GAZA AS A RESULT OF THE ONGOING WAR, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW THIS PROGRAM WILL BE SCALED ONCE THE WAR ENDS. RVF IS IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UAE, WHO WILL WORK WITH THE ORGANIZATION TO ASSESS THE NEXT STEPS AT THAT TIME.

RVF WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO INTRODUCE MODERN VACCINES FOR CHILDREN INTO THE NATIONAL ROUTINE VACCINATION SCHEDULES IN MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES (MICS) AND PUBLISHES THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL RESULTS OF THE PROGRAMS IN PEER-REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS. THE VACCINATION PROGRAMS ARE IMPLEMENTED ENTIRELY BY LOCAL HEALTH CARE WORKERS, THEREBY BUILDING LOCAL CAPACITY AND OWNERSHIP FROM THE BEGINNING, AND ARE FULLY SUSTAINED BY THE HOST GOVERNMENTS WITHIN 3 YEARS OF INCEPTION. FOLLOWING THE LAUNCH OF THE RVF-INITIATED ROTAVIRUS VACCINATION PROGRAM FOR ALL INFANTS IN GAZA AND THE WEST BANK IN 2016- APPROXIMATELY 135,000 BABIES ANNUALLY RVF, WITH FINANCING FROM THE BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION, HAS BEEN CONDUCTING SURVEILLANCE DOCUMENTING THE IMPACT OF THE ROTAVIRUS VACCINE ON THE DISEASE BURDEN. THE RESULTS OF THE FIRST PHASE OF THE SURVEILLANCE WERE PUBLISHED IN THE PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL VACCINE. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE WAR, THE SUPPLY OF ROTAVIRUS VACCINE WAS INTERRUPTED FROM JUNE THROUGH DECEMBER 2024, SO THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT ROTAVIRUS DISEASE WILL REEMEERGE BEFORE THE VACCINE SUPPLY CAN BE REPLENISHED AND VACCINATION RESUME IN 2025. IN EGYPT RVF CONTIUNES ITS INITIATIVE TO INTRODUCE THE ROTAVIRUS VACCINE INTO THE NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULE FOR CHILDREN AND TO TRANSFER THE TECHNOLOGY TO MANUFACTURE THE VACCINE IN THE COUNTRY. THE RVF-SPONSORED BASELINE STUDY OF ROTAVIRUS DISEASE PREVALENCE IN EGYPT, FINANCED BY THE GATES FOUNDATION AND PUBLISHED IN THE EGYPTIAN PHARMACEUTICAL JOURNAL, HAS LENT MOMENTUM TO THE REGISTRATION PROCESS OF THE VACCINE IN EGYPT AND THE PLANNING OF THE TECH TRANSFER FROM THE INDIAN MANUFACTURER TO AN EGYPTIAN VACCINE MANUFACTURER.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
