Harmony Project International

“Harmony project international (hpi) sends funds to livingstone international university, limited (liul), an ngo located in mbale, uganda. A grant request process was established in compliance with the u.s. Anti-terrorist financing guidelines where liul submits a grant request form when funds are needed by liul. Each grant request is assigned a number and it includes an explanation of how much money is requested and what the funds are to be used for. These grant reports are submitted to hpi along with copies of receipts, if necessary, per the master agreement, to substantiate the expenditures. Once all the funds for a particular grant request are reported, the individual grant request file will be considered closed. If the grant includes funds that are to be paid to an individual, liul, has agreed to do due diligence to ensure the individual is not on the sdn list and other lists as appropriate.”
