DESPITE OUR AMBITIOUS PLANS TO REACH OVER 150,000 CHILDREN ACROSS THREE PROVINCES, THE TALIBAN'S EDICT BANNING WOMEN FROM WORKING WITH NGOS DISRUPTED OUR OPERATIONS. WHILE WE NAVIGATED THIS COMPLEX SITUATION AND ENGAGED IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE AUTHORITIES, OUR PROGRAMS WERE TEMPORARILY HALTED. HOWEVER, BY MARCH, WE WERE ABLE TO RESUME CERTAIN ACTIVITIES AND FOCUS ON PROVIDING CRITICAL SUPPORT TO THE MOST VULNERABLE CHILDREN IMPACTED BY THE RECENT CONFLICT AND ECONOMIC CRISIS. AS A RESULT, WE REACHED OVER 44,000 CHILDREN AND CAREGIVERS IN AFGHANISTAN.

TO CREATE MORE POSITIVE AND COMFORTING SPACES, WE SCALED UP A PROJECT THAT TRANSFORMED THESE SHELTERS INTO VIBRANT LEARNING CENTERS. BY INCORPORATING BRIGHT COLORS, BOOKS, TOYS, AND ENGAGING ACTIVITIES, WE AIMED TO CREATE A SENSE OF NORMALCY AND SAFETY FOR CHILDREN DURING THESE CHALLENGING TIMES.BY THE END OF 2023, FORMALLY ENTERED INTO THE WAR CHILD ALLIANCE, UNITING WAR CHILD ORGANIZATIONS WORLDWIDE. THE NEWLY FORMED WAR CHILD ALLIANCE FOUNDATION WILL DRIVE OUR PROGRAMS, RESEARCH, SCALING EFFORTS, AND ADVOCACY INITIATIVES FROM JANUARY 2024 ONWARD.

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.
