Activities or mission (Part I)
The Adventure Project creates jobs that empower communities in Africa to work their way out of extreme poverty for good
-
Health - An estimated 5 million children under 5 die every year, mostly from treatable or preventable causes. This fiscal year, The Adventure Project funded a team of Community Health Workers, rural ambulance drivers, and health educators in Togo to complete an estimated 15,300 patient vists, 2,900 health consultations for children under 5, and 54 rural ambulance transports.
Expenses $45,000 · Grants $10,000
-
Water - Over half of the worlds 703 million people who lack basic drinking water live in sub-saharan Africa. As a result more than 250,000 children in sub-saharan Africa die each year because of inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene. This fiscal year, The Adventure Project funded the rehabilitation of 6 broken water boreholes and the hiring and training of 6 Community Water Operators in Ghana. These Community Water Operators are ensuring more than 2,400 people will gain year-round access to safe, reliable drinking water.
Expenses $50,226 · Grants $10,000
-
Hunger - an estimated 278 million people in sub-saharan Africa are undernourished and about 140 million are facing acute food insecurity. We equip subsistence farmers with irrigation and training so they can launch profitable farming businesses. This fiscal year, The Adventure Project funded the creation of an estimated 375 new farming enterprises in Kenya and Rwanda by equipping subsistence farmers with improved irrigation systems. Moreover, we trained 20 new irrigation agents to earn a sustainable living by renting irrigation pumps and providing irrigation services to local farmers.
Expenses $79,262 · Grants $10,000

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.
