Project Description Country: Ghana Location: Accra Total Budget: $4,000 Areas of Focus: Water and sanitation, Economic and community development Activity Type: Community Development: General Summary: Landscaping and retaining wall for childrens home to ease flooding and help sanitation in Accra, Ghana. A local group from here in Idaho built and funded a childrens home and school in Accra, Ghana. The charity has used all the available funds to build the home and didn't have any left for landscaping around the building. Because of this there is flooding and sanition problems. By planting some grass and adding a retaining wall this will alleviate the flooding and allow the children a cleaner, safer and more sanitary place to sleep and live at. The project was set to start at the end of September but do to the Ebola scare we have moved the project to February. The project should take about 2 weeks to complete. We have a group of about 15 local Idaho residents going to help including my wife. This a project that our club is very excited about.

Please upload your receipts of expenditures, cancelled checks to cooperating organizations and a final report to your grant P-747 at www.matchinggrants.org. 31-Mar-16 System Entry Project has been implemented and final report uploaded. 16-Dec-16 by Michael Anderson Completed 26-Feb-17 by Marianne Barker Mike - I've reverted your grant to "paid" status in order for you to address some things in your reporting: 1. please use the report form provided on the matching grants website and resubmit; 2. Rotarian involvement is a requirement of Rotary Foundation grants. Please revise your answer to that question, even if it was simply raising money for the project; 3. Please upload a copy of the check your club wrote to the cooperating organization to show the transfer of funds from your club to it for use on this project; 4. Since you have no receipts, please have the cooperating organization prepare an affadavit attesting that expenses were as listed on your spreadsheet. I think Scott Hansen may be able to help you with this. Call me at (208) 308-5617 if you have questions. 26-Feb-17 by Marianne Barker System Entry: Project reverted to 'Paid' status. 23-Jun-17 by Marianne Barker Scott - Thank you for taking on the task of helping us get this grant closed. There's one issue on your report: expenses of $14,513 are reported with revenue sources of only $4,000. The expenses and revenue need to match. I'm assuming that GMAD paid the balance. The easiest way to fix this is to revise your report to show a revenue contribution of $10,513 from them to total $14,513, thus balancing against the expenses. Delete your current report, upload the new one, then click "reported" on the administrative side of the description tab. 16-Aug-17 by Marianne Barker System Entry: Project has been implemented and final report uploaded. 7-Sep-17 by Bob Rose I have audited this project and I approve it. 15-Sep-17 by Marianne Barker System Entry: Final report approved by the District Approval Committee.
