Project tracking
Active project status
Progress reflects funds deployed against planned milestones as of the most recent field report. Water and microfinance are tracked separately because their timelines differ.
Microloan management
ActiveVillage savings group lending, sized against household-recorded margin. Includes treasurer training, the loan register, and the term-restructuring protocol for verified crop failure.
USD 164,000 of USD 186,400 disbursed88%
Borehole & water access
SlowedDrilled boreholes with solar pumps for demonstration plots and village water points, sited where a reliable source reduces the labour hours that compete with field work.

Where the money goes
Program year 2025-26, unaudited management view. The audited statement is contained in the annual impact report and the Form 990.
| Program area | 2025-26 | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Field agronomy training | $96,300 | 41% |
| Microloan capital | $186,400 | 79% |
| Water infrastructure | $68,900 | 29% |
| Measurement & evaluation | $22,700 | 10% |
| Administration | $14,100 | 6% |
| Total operating | $202,700 | 100% |
Microloan capital is reported separately from operating expense: it is a recoverable revolving fund, so its share exceeds the 100% of operating spend when included.
| Source | 2025-26 | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Individual donations | $118,400 | 58% |
| Institutional grants | $61,200 | 30% |
| University in-kind | $14,300 | 7% |
| Loan principal recovered | $9,400 | 5% |
| Total | $203,300 | 100% |
No single donor accounts for more than 12% of revenue, so no single withdrawal can halt the field program.
A note on these tables
Figures shown are illustrative sample data for layout purposes and must be replaced with the audited statements before this page is published. Do not represent demo values as actual program results.
Oversight
Who reviews this
Accountability is a named responsibility, not a statement on a page. The following people hold specific oversight roles.
The treasurer reconciles all disbursements quarterly against bank records and loan registers, and the board reviews the reconciliation at its scheduled meeting. An independent annual review is engaged before the Form 990 is filed.
Plot-level yield data, rainfall logs, and household ledgers are available to academic partners under a written data-sharing agreement. The agronomy lead approves release; the treasurer confirms that no household identifier is included.
Board members travel to program districts at least annually, unannounced where practical, to inspect demonstration plots and interview households directly rather than reviewing only submitted reports.
Write to info@ziap.org with "Records request" in the subject line. Requests for the Form 990, audited statements, or the current board roster are answered within ten business days.
