For most of this reporting period, the 80+ children in the village and in our Youth House were able to continue their educational journeys and the vast majority achieved remarkable results, most of them moving into either trainee positions, College or University. Those that were working paid regular visits to Hope. The staff maintain regular contact with all of our children. including those that are married and those receiving our outreach support to ascertain their wellbeing and safety. The Kindergarten provision is now being wound down as there are a number of Govemment facilities close by and there is no perceived need for this provision. HOPE staff and visiting providers do a lot of cultural and sporting activities with the young people as well as all children attending suitable schools for their particular needs. All young people are individually placed into school, training and further education according to their individual needs, abilities and aspirations. The garden at HOPE provided much needed fruit and vegetables and HOPE worked well with the local government initiatives with regard to planting crops. Our retired mothers, who live in our Mother's home, are able to provide support and supervision for the staff and children, stepping in to support whenever needed. HOPE continues to thrive and is a centre of excellence for Group Foster Care and is used by many local social work colleges for student placements and visits. TAR 2023
