AMANZI - WATER TO SCHOOLS INC
EIN 88-3784529 · International Relief (Q33)
What they do
AMANZI - WATER to SCHOOLS (AMANZI) PARTNERS WITH NO-FEE SCHOOLS IN THE EASTERN CAPE of SOUTH AFRICA to DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE WATER SOLUTIONS and BRIDGES to OPPORTUNITIES for STUDENTS. WITHOUT WATER, THE TOWNSHIP and RURAL SCHOOLS WHERE AMANZI WORKS CAN BE FORCED to REDUCE INSTRUCTION HOURS OR, EVEN WORSE, CLOSE. UNEMPLOYMENT RATES WHERE THESE SCHOOLS ARE LOCATED OFTEN EXCEED 50% for THE UNEDUCATED - YET UNEMPLOYMENT RATES DROP to ~25% for THOSE WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA and to ~6% for THOSE WITH AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE. WATER is CRITICAL - for DRINKING, SANITATION and for PROVIDING A DAILY MEAL (OFTEN, THE ONLY RELIABLE MEAL) to STUDENTS. AMANZI PROVIDES CLIMATE-SMART WATER SOLUTIONS SUCH AS RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEMS and WATERLESS TOILETS; OUR PARTNER SCHOOLS DECIDE WHICH SOLUTIONS WILL WORK BEST for THEM. ONCE WATER is SECURED, OUR JOB is NOT DONE. NEXT, WE BECOME A BRIDGE to OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS WHO OFFER FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES to TEACHERS and LEARNERS.

Money made simple

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $51,000 for JULIA HEEMSTRA (PRESIDENT). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.

Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
