REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES (continued)

TRUSTEE RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING

When new Trustees are required, the Board considers applications from individuals presently serving in a similar position or line of work as well as those recommended by their charitable networks. All applicants are assessed based on: education and work experience; passion for, and commitment to, the charity's mission; and ability to devote the time required for successful governance of the charity.

The Board’s skills base is reviewed regularly to identify recruitment and training needs to ensure effective governance. Regular Board meetings are also used to identify areas where training would improve the performance of the Board.

DIRECTORS

The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purposes of charity law and throughout the report are collectively referred to as the trustees.

Global Partners (UK) is a company limited by guarantee and does not have share capital. The trustees do not therefore have any financial interests in the company.

The charitable company has made qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of its trustees during the year. These provisions remain in force at the reporting date.

REMUNERATION POLICY

The charity believes that the opportunity to lift people out of poverty is an important part of the total reward of working for charity especially at more senior levels. In deciding appropriate pay levels, Global Partners aims to strike a balance between paying enough to recruit and keep people with the skills we need, our employees’ needs, and the public and our donors’ expectations that the money they entrust us with will be used wisely to overcome poverty.

The charity maintains a uniform pay scale based on the employees' length of service and this is awarded to all employees, including key management personnel.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The trustees are aware of the requirements of the charities FRS102 SORP and have implemented systems to mitigate all major risks to which the charity is exposed. The charity maintains a Corporate Risk Assessment and has reviewed the personal risks, the financial risks and the compliance and administration risks which face the charity. The report sets out to highlight certain pertinent areas where the charity should and has taken steps to mitigate the risks.

Of these identified risks, the trustees believe the greatest to be personnel risk. Many of these personnel live in areas prone to disease, famine, drought, harsh living conditions and strife. The most the charity can do is implement reasonable safeguards and policies intended to lessen the risk to personnel. To that end, the charity has set in place the following policies:

The charity will maintain awareness of international and regional events, especially in areas of involvement. The charity will monitor all international warnings and alerts, and will pass these directly to all relevant personnel;
Country directors have the authority to choose projects, relocate personnel, evacuate personnel, and extricate the charity from any situation where there is a perceived risk to personnel;
Training and education is given to ensure that personnel understand the risks involved in their particular situation, and that they personally accept these risks; and
The charity has established evacuation procedures for personnel living in volatile regions.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on Public Benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit : running a charity (PB2)' when reviewing their aims and objectives.

Global Partners is a life changing charity, helping those in need by providing healthcare, educational services and community development.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES (continued)

FUNDING

The organisation never solicits funds from countries in which Global Partners is working. All funding for projects, programs, and maintenance of personnel comes from external sources, including associated charitable networks.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Global Partners (UK) exists to demonstrate love for needy people by providing health care, educational services, and community development projects. Our goal is to serve with diligence, integrity, humility, and compassion. We choose our staff, funding sources, and organizational partnerships with these values and goals in mind. We seek opportunities to help the poor and strengthen families in the places on earth with the greatest needs. Our job is complete when they are enabled to help themselves and their neighbours live better lives. Our Vision is to enable others through sustainable development.

Our principles are:

Human Resources – We provide human resources for sustainable development;

• Empowerment – We equip and empower individuals and communities to solve their own real and perceived problems;

• Partnership – We work relationally in accountable partnerships with international organizations, government entities and local communities to encourage community-based solutions for sustainable development and

• Integrity without bias – We operate under principles of integrity without regard to ethnicity, gender, religion or nationality.

All our programmes, whether hunger or poverty based, will be tailored to the specific needs of the contexts in which we work. We take a ‘one programme’ approach which means that we are not focused on any one single issue, but provide support to tackle the range of complex interactions.

We focus our work and funds on a geographic basis and each area has its own strategy and programme of projects designed by the area director to meet the region’s unique requirements in line with the overarching objectives of the charity.

Each project is required to set out its own objectives as part of the approval stage and once a project is completed an assessment is made on whether these objectives were met successfully. For more detailed analysis of the charity’s programme of projects and their results please refer to the Significant Activities section of this report.

RESERVES POLICY

The charity holds free reserves to ensure that it can meet its foreseeable commitments, bearing in mind the current level of activity and uncertain financial markets.

The trustees consider that the charity should aim to maintain total reserves of $500,000. Annual budgets are prepared to maintain this level of reserves. The trustees are aware that the reserves this year are above the target at $724,782. At the balance sheet date cash advances had increased due to the increased level of activity. Income from donations is provided only where there is a need for the expenditure. Trustees consider reserves held sufficient for the Charity's operations as a going concern for the next 12 months and consider the $500,000 target reasonable. The policy is reviewed annually by the trustees and regularly monitored by the trustees.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

In 2023, Global Partners (UK) received a total income of $2,779,516 (2022: $2,560,313), an 8% increase. Total funds, including restricted funds, at the year-end were $724,782 (2022: $281,725).

Expenditure totalled $2,336,459 (2022: $2,622,064) which has resulted in a surplus for the year of $443,057 (2022: $61,751 Deficit).

TAJIKISTAN

Dushanbe

Project Name: Aivoch School

Estimated Persons Benefiting from the Project: 250 Families or 1,625 persons.

Project Goal/Objective: This is the fourth year of a multi-phase community development project with the end goal of building a community school. We first accepted this project in 2019 and have been working each year with the community to see the school’s construction. The goal of this year’s project was to see the building fully enclosed with windows and doors.

Project Outcome: We were able to install exterior windows/doors. The community on their own has been able to raise funds to begin some work on finishing the interior of the school as well.

Future plans: This project will continue for at least one, perhaps two more years before the building is fully finished. Once complete the building will have 8 classrooms. The building was/is being constructed in such a way that a second floor can be added at a future date.

Project Name: Tirgaron (Bagara) School

Estimated Persons Benefiting from the Project: 350

Project Goal/Objective: This is a project where we are assisting a village in acquiring roofing materials for the new school that they are building. The community is responsible for the school design & construction, including all labor. Global Partners will provide donations of building materials per the engineering plans for the school.

Project Outcome: A significant part of this project was completed in 2022 and the rest was finished in 2023. The roof materials that we provided have been installed and the community continues to take steps to complete additional aspects of the school building, including installing windows and finishing walls by adding concrete to the brick exteriors. An unexpected additional outcome was men and women received training in good child-raising principles.

Future plans: This project is completed and there are no plans for the project.

Project Name: Vosay Clinic

Estimated Persons Benefiting from Project: 2000 Families

Project Goal/Objective: The goal of this project was to help a community that was already building a clinic to provide enclosure by adding a roof.

Project Outcome: We succeeded in seeing the completion of the roof.

Future plans: None at the moment, however, we are open to another phase of the project based on future progress and the needs of the community.

GLOBAL PARTNERS (UK) REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES (continued)

Project Name: Chavelai Water

Estimated Persons Benefiting from the Project: 400

Project Goal/Objective: This is a project to connect a segment of the village of Chavelai with natural spring water for drinking. The village is responsible for providing manual labor to install the water system including pipe and holding tank. Women of the village are also responsible for coming to a series of clean water lessons. Global Partners will provide all materials needed for the gravity-fed water system.

Project Outcome: Through this project, the section of the village of Chavelai was connected to a natural spring to provide drinking water to residents. Six-and-a-half km of pipe now bring spring water to a central holding tank in the village. While men learned how to install the water system and take care of it, lessons about clean water and basic hygiene were provided to the women of the village.

Future plans: The project has been completed and there are no additional plans.

Project Name: Dadaboy Kholmatov Water

Estimated Persons Benefiting from Project: 80 Families or 480 persons

Project Goals/Objectives: Dadaboy is a community just outside the city of Khujand, Tajikistan. One would not know that this community is not part of the city except that they do not have city utilities, including drinking water. The area being occupied is a very poor piece of land and the people moving or being moved to this area are not wealthy individuals. Before requesting a project with GP, the community had identified a nearby factory that had paid for a well to be set that was providing more water than the factory needed. The community worked out an agreement to purchase water from this factory at a price much reduced than the costs of paying for water delivery. The goal was to connect to the well, install a meter system, run water to the highest point in the village, and then allow gravity to feed water down the streets to individual homes. The project provided the main pipe, connectors, and smaller pipes for community streets. Individuals are responsible for purchasing pipes to connect to the existing line.

Project Outcome: We were able to see the primary infrastructure installed and run pipe on 3 of the most populated streets.

Future Plans: We would like to complete the project by seeing water lines run down all existing residential streets.

GLOBAL PARTNERS (UK) REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES (continued)

Project Name: Esamboy Water

Estimated Persons Benefiting from Project: 500 homes or 3,000 persons

Project Goal/Objective: We received a request from a community whose main source of drinking water was a river that was prone to flood issues and dirty water. The goal was to capture a small stream at a higher elevation, refurbish an existing Soviet-era system, and ultimately combine both systems into one system.

Project Outcome: We were able to accomplish the initial goals of providing ample water to the community with sufficient water pressure for the water to reach the entire community.

Future Plans: None at this time.

Project Name: Istarafshan Water

Estimated Persons Benefiting from Project: 7,000

Project Goal/Objective: This is a project to provide drinking water to a portion of the village of Istarafshan. An existing well will be cleaned out and reconnected to a pump to supply the water. The village is responsible for providing manual labor to install the water system including pipe and holding tank. Global Partners will provide all materials needed for the water system.

Project Outcome: Through this project, a portion of the village of Istarafshan was connected to drinking water from an existing well. The well was cleaned, and a new pump was installed to supply a large section of the village with water.

Future plans: This specific project is nearing its completion. There are no plans beyond the scope of this project.

Project Name: Jelikul Well

Estimated Persons Benefiting from the Project: 29 wells will serve between 116 and 174 families, perhaps a handful more. The total estimated number of individuals who received benefits is 1,044.

Project Goal/Objective: Set up at least 20 shallow wells in the region of Jelikul. Each well takes approximately 1 week to set. For each working well, we set 1-2 non-working wells before we can find water.

Project Outcome: We set 29 wells.

Future Plans: We intend to continue this project in the Jelikul area.

Project Name: Kulpista Water

Estimated Persons Benefiting from Project: 215 Families

Project Goals/Objectives: This project was not initially planned for our office. In 2021 we organized a project in this community installing a spring capture project, bringing drinking water to the community. In early 2023 heavy rainfall flooded many areas of central Tajikistan, including this community, destroying their water system. Due to a small budget surplus, we were able to return to the community and help repair the project, bringing it back to working order.

Project Outcome: The water system was repaired.

Future Plans: None at this time.

Project Name: Leper Colony Waterwheel

Number of People Benefited: 280 people

Project Goal/Objective: To help the Leper Colony solve its water needs.

Project Outcome: This year we were able to repair the original water wheel at the Leper Colony by putting on all new paddles and bearings and main pipe onto the existing frame. In addition, we repaired some of the strapping that held the floating barrels and also installed flat steel from the front to the back along the pipes that came down to the barrels so that there was an even surface so that objects in the water didn't lodge between the pipes and the paddles and break the paddles.

We also completed the construction and installation of a new waterwheel downstream from the first waterwheel which allows for more water for their gardens during the peak season in June, July, and August. We arranged that a pipe would be brought up to their drinking water basin as a backup to their electric pump.

While working at the Leper Colony the school from the village just down from the colony where children from the colony attend, approached us about a few things. One was a filter system for their drinking water. We quickly built two systems, one for the school and one for the Leper Colony. We built two stands from metal we already had and employed two existing galvanized tanks for the dirty water and employed the help of another foreigner who had some new style filters that were easy to use and easy to clean to install between the galvanized tank and a plastic barrel, of which we already had two of, for the clean water. We placed one at the school and one at the Leper Colony.

Future Plans: We will develop a plan to get the residents of the leper colony to dig the trench for the plastic pipe from the second waterwheel that needs to go up to the large holding tank that distributes water to their gardens. We plan to continue to help with repairs for the two waterwheels. For the filters, we used some existing barrels that I had for a different project and still have a couple more left. We added $70 for filters and connectors. It seems to be very effective and more could easily be made. It's a nice little project to add on to our waterwheel work to improve the lives of the people here.

GLOBAL PARTNERS (UK) REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES (continued)

Project Name: Shahrinav Waterwheel

Number of People Benefited: 750 people

Project Goal/Objective: The goal was to build a frame over the canal to lift the waterwheel out of the water during the flood season since the canal was used during the flood season as a flood channel. There was a concern that if the waterwheel was in the canal, it could disrupt the water flow and potentially cause flooding in the village below. Because of this concern, the new director of the area refused to sign the final document for the previous work that had been approved by the previous director.

Project Outcome: We prepared all the metal for the frame that we could. The recipient of the waterwheel didn't follow through with the instructions and his promises of building a cement wall on one side of the canal so in the end we couldn't install the frame.

Future Plans: When the recipient of the waterwheel builds the cement wall, we will install the frame.

Project Name: Varzob Deep Well

Estimated Persons Benefiting from the Project: 150 families

Project Goal/Objective: This is a multi-year project seeking to help a community set a deep well (~100m) to gain clean drinking water. Normally the cost/person ratio would have kept us from taking on this project, however, this community had historically had access to the capital's drinking water canal. In 2019 government officials started strictly enforcing access to the city's water supply and revoked permissions for this community. When the project is completed, we will help the community set up a deep well and build a small water distribution system.

Project Outcome: We were able to help the community install the water pump, run electricity to the pump, and repurpose an existing tank as the primary water reservoir.

Future Plans: We plan to install at least two small, elevated water tanks to create water pressure and install water lines to the top of each street in the community.

Project Name: Zarafshon Spring (Vahdat)

Estimated Persons Benefiting from the Project: 300 Families

Project Goal/Objective: A community east of the capital city had water, but it was an insufficient amount for the community. After several years of asking we were able to organize a project to capture a spring and bring it to the community. Approximately 3km of pipe was provided along with some other project materials.

Project Outcome: The community now has sufficient water access for everyone.

GLOBAL PARTNERS (UK) REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES (continued)

Future Plans: None, the project is complete.

Food Distribution Projects:

Project Goal/Objective: Each year we identify a handful of project locations and partner with the community to provide food packages to families identified by the community or local government as being particularly in need or at risk. Each package for rural communities included 50kg of flour, 5kg of sugar, and 5L of oil (in urban situations we provide 20kg of flour, 3kg of sugar, and 5l of oil). The purpose of these projects is to help the entire community by lessening the load for neighbors and families that are already helping to care for the identified families. By meeting these needs, we are in effect helping everyone even though only a handful of families receive food.

Project Outcome: In all the locations detailed below we were able to work with the community to help the community meet the needs of those most at risk.

Future Plans: Each food project is considered an isolated event with no promise or plans of follow-up.

Project Name: Aivoch Food Distribution (rural)

Project Name: Shadrezi Food Distribution (rural)

Estimated Persons Benefiting from the Project: 90 Families

Project Name: Loshharf Road

Estimated Persons Benefiting from the Project: 153 Families

Project Goal/Objective: The road to this community is especially dangerous and prone to washouts, serious mud build-up, and several stream crossings. Each year there is at least one accident on the road up the mountains. The community approached us asking if we could help improve the road thereby making it safer.

Project Outcome: With a small donation of materials, we were able to help the community improve drainage in a couple of areas to reduce mud (and associated sliding of cars).

Future project plans: We hope to continue the project and help build a small bridge over a stream and drainage area that creates significant mud and ice problems in the winter and spring. The plan is for a bridge that is only a couple of feet off the ground but allows vehicles to safely traverse the dangerous area. Funding has not yet been secured for this second phase.

Project Name: Sharinav Flood Relief & Mitigation

Estimated Persons Benefiting from the Project: 150 Families

Project Goal/Objective: In the fall of 2022 the community of Sharinav saw a flood mitigation system fail in heavy rainfall. The result flooded several homes, and several vineyards, and generally caused a mess. Fortunately, the damage was limited, however, the flood wall was broken, and all future rainfall would run directly into the village and continue to cause increasing problems. Our goal was to rebuild/repair this flood system, not only fixing the existing hole but reinforcing the entire system to allow it to continue to work for years to come.

Project Outcome: We were able to successfully repair the breach and refurbish several hundred meters of wall that run across the top edge of the community forcing water to the side and into a channel connecting to a nearby river. We were even able to accomplish this work under budget! Future Plans: None at this time.

Project Name: Passive Solar

Project Goal/Objective: At the end of the year since we completed our big projects, we looked for some small passive solar projects for areas that have no electricity in the wintertime.

GLOBAL PARTNERS (UK) REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES (continued)

Project Outcome: We started two projects—one for heating a room and one for hot water. One is virtually finished and the second is still in progress.

Future Plans: When both are finished, we will test them and find a place with no or little electricity where they would be beneficial. If they work well these could be good projects to have ready to do in between bigger projects or on rainy days when working outside is difficult.

Project Name: Kul Motoblok

Estimated Persons Benefiting from Project: 100

Project Goal/Objective: This project will assist a community in expanding their agriculture output by Global Partners providing them with a motorized hand tiller and the training needed to use it as well as training in resource sharing. The community will be responsible for using the tiller in a way that is equitable for all and increases their potato crop production.

Project Outcome: The village of Kul received one motorized hand tiller. They also received instruction about how to use it and training in how to use a shared resource. The community will be able to put the hand tiller to use and see an increase in agricultural output.

Future plans for the project: This specific project is completed but is part of a larger multi-year project in the Yagnob Valley that will further equip this community and others to increase agricultural production.

Project Name: Margheb Motoblok

Estimated Persons Benefiting from Project: 200

Project Outcome: The village of Margheb received two motorized hand tillers. They also received instruction about how to use it and training in how to use a shared resource. The community will be able to put the hand tiller to use and see an increase in agricultural output.

development. Our development activities included the facilitation of a 4-site soybean seed testing program, land and seed acquisition advice, crop advising, and providing modern cultivation equipment to farmers involved in soybean cultivation.

Project Outcome: This past year we participated in the USAID Soybean Innovation Lab seed trial program. We planted and harvested 6 hectares of 7 soybean varieties in the Hissor area, and experimented with reduced tillage practices. We were able to demonstrate the usage of a large-scale planter and tractor for soybeans in Tajikistan.

Future Plans: We plan to continue the facilitation of soybean seed licensing in connection with the Soybean Innovation Lab and USAID. We will continue to work to identify ideal soybean varieties for Tajikistan climates and potential licensing. We will continue training, education, and advancement of soybean cultivation in Tajikistan. We will demonstrate reduced tillage practices in soybean cultivation in the Vahdat and Hissor districts. We will plan, host, and facilitate a reduced tillage seminar focusing on soybean cultivation. We will offer seed for local farmers to plant utilizing local equipment with an agreement made to sell crops to Agrohamkor.

Project Name: Animal Feed

Project Goal/Objective: This project is a multi-year project to partner with the feed company, Agrohamkor, for training, development, and agricultural progress in quality animal feed production. Our development activities will include supplying and maintaining quality soybean processing equipment; market analysis; soybean processing training; advisement for scaling and general business development.

Project Outcome: We purchased materials and built a silo for product storage. We produced chicken, goat, and cattle feed utilizing locally grown soybeans in soymeal production. We were also able to source buyers of high-quality soymeal and animal feed. We continued to provide training on the operation and maintenance of processing equipment. We produced the first chicken feed in Tajikistan sourced from locally grown corn, soybean, and wheat.

Future Plans: We plan to continue and increase the amount of extruded quality soymeal. We plan to monitor and maintain quality soy meal production. We will identify key investment needs for the future. The project will also advise on best practices for business management, accounting, and customer relations. We will assist Agrohamkor in developing a training program for animal husbandry with local farmers and personnel. This year one of our goals is to assist Agrohamkor to scale production of animal feed to at least 50 tons per month.

Herat

Project Name: Transitional Shelter Project

Estimated Persons Benefiting from the Project: 100 families

Project Goal/Objective: To relieve the suffering of families who lost homes in the earthquakes of October 2023 by building up to 100 temporary shelters. Due to the timing of the earthquakes, the season was too cold for traditional building techniques. This project was to provide adequate housing for families to survive the winter months and summer heat until they can rebuild their community. To involve the communities in construction for them to take ownership and to have constructive work in the wake of this tragedy. To provide aid to the local economy by purchasing all goods through local businesses and utilizing local labor.

Project Outcome: All 100 temporary shelters were completed by January 10, 2024. 100 + families are living in warm, dry shelters through the wet, cold winter. We implemented this project through a partnership NGO. Through this project, we were able to build a strong relationship with them that we hope will bear fruit in the future. We were well-received by the government agencies involved in project approval and monitoring, and this should help us with continued favor from the government.

Our goal had been to complete the shelters by December 31, 2023, and we missed that mark by ten days. We were hampered by difficulty obtaining a visa for the foreign visitor whose shelter design we were implementing, and who came to train the assembly crews. We were also hampered by slow bank transfers and the unavailability of US Dollars in the bazaar for purchasing materials. We encountered land disputes and government interference that affected the selection of villages in which we were allowed to work. We did not end up working in the most devastated communities, but many of those had been previously helped by other agencies.

Future Plans: This was intended to be a project upon which we can follow up with future assistance in these underserved villages. We established relationships with the community elders and leaders and with responsible government sectors from which we believe we are in good standing for future projects.

basic supplies for the winter months, including rice, beans, oil, and fuel for cooking. (6) Provide vocational training for qualified students.

Project Outcome: The school remained open to both male and female students throughout 2023. The students continue to mature and grow in their understanding of the world around them. The students have continued to expand their academic knowledge which now includes basic biology, chemistry, and computers. More of the students have learned vocational skills to prepare themselves to provide for their current and future families. The school continues to grow as the word gets out that our program is making a difference. Ten students are currently attending classes during the mornings and receiving vocational training during the afternoon. This will be supported by our school for one year for each student. We were able to supply basic food and heating fuel supplies to the students before the cold winter months. We provided fruit trees for our students to take and plant in their homes.

Future Plans: This project is currently being evaluated for strategic fit in our long-term plans. It will continue at least for the current year 2024, and its future after that is undetermined. There are still many deaf students throughout the district who are unable to travel to the city for our program. There is still not a hearing, potential replacement teacher who knows sign language if something happens to our current teacher. This needs to be a priority. We will attempt to train our instructors to improve their sign-language skills. We will continue to utilize local educators for vocational training and dialogue and seek to expand the vocational training aspect of this project. We will continue to look for innovative ways to prepare our students with skills to enable them to provide for themselves.

Project Name: Women’s Prison Project

Project Goal/Objective: The education and skills training of women in prison will increase their understanding of their self-worth and will give them hope for employment upon release from prison. The program will run two cycles of 6 months. The first cycle will train 20 women in tailoring and 10 women in baking/food preservation. The second cycle will train 10 students in tailoring, 10 students in advanced tailoring, and 10 women in baking/food preservation. A production class of tailoring will also be run with up to 5 students. At the end of one year, 60 women will have been trained by classroom trainers and master craftswomen in a new skill. The students will be certified and have the skills and supplies needed to start their own businesses upon release.

Project Outcome: The start of the project was delayed until the end of February 2023 due to a change in the location of the prison. The classes began with 20 tailoring students and 20 baking students. The selection of the students took into consideration the length of the prison sentence given to the women, but prisoners are often released early, especially around local holidays. At the end of the first round, a total of 15 students received certificates: 4 students in basic tailoring, 5 students in advanced tailoring, and 6 students in baking. The students received the tools necessary to practice their trade upon release. The second round of classes started later than anticipated and was not finished when the project was halted due to a delay in the issue of a letter of permission from the government.

In addition to skills classes, the women were also given the opportunity to take English classes. Approximately 60 women participated in these classes. They were given the supplies needed for class, such as study guides, notebooks, pencils, and erasers.

Future Plans: If granted permission by the government, this project will continue with some changes. The length of each cycle will be shortened to 3 months to graduate more students. Literacy classes in the local language will be taught. Additionally, health lessons related to nutrition will be available to all prisoners.

Project Name: Childcare and Nutrition Project

Estimated Persons Benefiting from the Project: 200 children

Project Goal/Objective: The purpose of this project is to offer support and care for the children living inside the prison walls with their mothers. There are two sides to the project: health/nutrition and preschool education. The pediatrician and Nurse service the children in the prison 5x/week. Medicines not covered by ICRC are provided for the children. Every month hygiene and healthy breakfast distributions to all the children registered are made. Childcare and pre-school education are provided 5x/week in the learning center for 6 months to 6 years. Healthy snacks are provided for the children in the learning center.

Project Outcome: The start of the project was delayed until mid-February 2023 due to the relocation of the prisoners to a nearby facility. As soon as the new clinic and preschool rooms were ready, the GP staff began registering the children. The area for the preschool was considerably smaller so the decision was made to change the age of enrollment from 6 months to walking age. Other than that, all the objectives were met. The project served 200 children during 2023. Most of the children were healthy aside from common childhood illnesses, which were treated in the clinic. The children in the preschool greatly benefited from their time of learning and play. Several of these children showed signs of trauma upon arrival at the prison, but they improved greatly through interaction with the teachers and other students.

The following improvements were made from the previous year’s project: The formula was no longer given to all mothers of infants 6-24 months. Instead, all pregnant and breastfeeding women attended classes on breastfeeding. Women who had trouble were given one-on-one instruction by the nurse. Mothers of infants were given instructions on when and how to start solid foods. They were also given fortified baby cereal weekly once their baby was ready. The method of distribution of hygiene kits was streamlined. This was praised by the prison staff. The distribution of breakfast items was changed from monthly to daily when it was discovered that most mothers did not save the items for their children. These items were given by the preschool teachers at the end of class. A new drug inventory system was implemented in the clinic pharmacy to decrease overstock, expired drugs, and overall spending. The clinic staff established a relationship with a local laboratory so that children in need of simple lab tests would not have to be referred to the hospital. Newborn kits containing clothes, swaddling blankets, a towel, diapers, and baby powder were given to each new mom.

Future Plans: In the future, we would like to continue this project and expand the health education classes for the students and their mothers. We have seen a need for education on

nutrition, general hygiene, and prevention of communicable diseases. Also, many of the mothers are young and separated from their families so they need information on caring for infants. We hope to be able to provide more health classes in addition to our other services to help the women and children live healthier lives upon their release.

Badakhshan

Project Name: Woriss Spring Project

Project Goal/Objective: The village of Woriss in Darwaz, Badakhshan needed clean water. We identified a clean water source and developed a plan to pipe the water to the village, build a reservoir, and distribute the water to the village.

FUTURE PLANS

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also directors of Global Partners (UK) for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:-

a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
c) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
d) state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards, including FRS 102, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
e) state whether a Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applies and has been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
f) prepare on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT OF DISCLOSURE TO AUDITORS

a) So far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware, and
b) They have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable company's auditors are aware of that information.

SMALL COMPANIES EXEMPTION

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL PARTNERS (UK)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Global Partners (UK) (‘the company’) for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs(UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL PARTNERS (UK)

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

the information given in the the trustees’ annual report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the the trustees’ annual report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and from preparing a Strategic Report.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 31, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

GLOBAL PARTNERS (UK)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL PARTNERS (UK)

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to any party other than the charitable company and charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

1. STATUS OF THE COMPANY

The company is limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. Every member of the company undertakes to contribute to the assets of the company in the event of the same being wound up during the time that he or she is a member or within one year after they cease to be a member, for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the company contracted before they ceased to be a member, such amount as may be required not exceeding £1. The company is incorporated in England & Wales and the registered office address is International House, 64 Nile Street, London, England, N1 7SR.

The company is a registered charity and as such is exempt from taxes under the provisions of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The company is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and a registered charity established as a company limited by guarantee and therefore has also prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (The FRS 102 Charities SORP), the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements are prepared in US dollars, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest dollar.

The financial statements are prepared under the historic cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

b) The trustees have assessed whether the use of going concern is appropriate and have considered possible vents or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charitable company's forecast and projections. After making enquiries the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charitable company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
c) Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation has been provided on fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated net residual value, of each asset over its effective life, as follows:-

Freehold property - 2% straight line per annum Furniture and equipment - 25% of written down value Computer equipment - 33.3% straight line per annum Motor vehicles - 25% of written down value

d) Operating leases - Annual rentals are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

e) All monetary donations and gifts are included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable, provided that there are no donor-imposed restrictions as to the timing of the related expenditure, in which case recognition is deferred until the pre-condition has been met.

Gifts-in-kind are accounted for at the trustees' estimate of value to the charity or sale value as follows:

assets received for distribution by the charity are recognised only when distributed.
gifts of fixed assets for charity use or funds for acquiring fixed assets for charity use are accounted for (as restricted funds) immediately on receipt.

Intangible income is valued in income to the extent that is represents goods or services which would otherwise by purchased. An equivalent amount is charged as expenditure. Voluntary help is not included as income.

Cash collected to which the charity is legally entitled but which has not been received at the year end is included as income.

f) All costs are allocated between expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.

Expenditure, which is charged on an accruals basis, is allocated between:

costs of raising funds
expenditure on charitable activities
other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity costs categories on a basis consistent with use of resources, e.g. staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs comprise the cost of running the charity, including external accountancy, Trustees' legal advice and constitutional and statutory compliance costs. These have been included in support costs.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

g) Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been designated for specific purposes by the trustees.

h) Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.
i) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to profit and loss account. The exchange rate at the year end was that £1 was equivalent to $1.28 (2022: $1.21).

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

j) Liabilities are recognised when there is a legal and constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.
k) The pension costs charged in the year represent the amount of the contributions payable to the schemes in respect of the accounting period.

l) Financial Instruments

a. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with a maturity date of three months or less.

b. Debtors and creditors

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT

In the view of the trustees applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.
