  • Health: During 2023, UMR has achieved significant milestones in the health sector. UMR addressed critical health challenges through targeted interventions, including establishing ICU units in Sudan and providing comprehensive healthcare services in Yemen. Our cataract surgery programs in Jordan and Kenya restored sight to 900 patients, enabling them to regain independence and participate fully in their communities. Additionally, UMR provided hearing aids, fostering inclusion and enhancing communication for individuals with hearing impairments. Through UMRs strengthened health systems, we supported health facilities and equipment in Turkey, Libya, Uganda, and Yemen. Moreover, UMR launched a comprehensive nutritional program focused on children and pregnant or lactating women in Yemen and Kenya, targeting thousands of the most vulnerable groups in partnership with the Ministry of Health, nutrition cluster, and UNICEF.

    Expenses $52,021,703 · Grants $51,188,902

  • Food Security and Livelihood: UMR combated food insecurity through various programs in 2023, including Ramadan food aid, Qurbani meat distributions, and emergency food aid in response to the drought crisis in Kenya. These initiatives provided essential nutrition and support to underserved communities.

    Expenses $828,272 · Grants $815,012

UMR also trained students at three UMR universities in Emergency Preparedness in Texas.

    Expenses $594,519 · Grants $585,002

  • WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene): In 2023, UMR made significant strides in providing access to clean water by constructing wells in Somalia, Kenya, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, benefiting thousands with reliable, clean water sources.

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.
