All rights reserved. All of the achievements outlined in this document have been accomplished in a short period of time and with limited funding. These funds came from three major sources contributions from individuals interested in supporting the mission of CIHC, contributions from a few charitable foundations and estates, and a major grant from the African Development Bank. The Center also benefited greatly from contributions of goods and services in three major areas. Our New York headquarters facility and our Geneva office are made available to CIHC at no charge.
Most air travel is contributed.
Finally, the Center has received most printing services free. Almost all of the expenditures made by the Center have been to support directly our various charitable projects and educational symposia. Administrative overhead expenses are minimal. In the case of the largest project, the Somali Amputee Rehabilitation Center Project, funds went directly toward the purchase of prosthetic materials, tools, and related supplies. A significant initial expenditure was required to construct an appropriate physical facility to work with the amputees.
