Amani UK also acts as coordinator for a school’s link programme involving currently 19 UK schools linked to 19 schools in the Nyanza District of Kenya. A programme was commenced in 2013 called Keep a Girl in School (KaGiS) providing sanitary towels for girl students to eliminate the many days of study lost during the menstrual cycle, due to not having the **Summary of the main** money to provide adequate hygienic means for themselves. This **activities undertaken for the** programme has since been enlarged to include a Healthy Choices **public benefit in relation to** programme which delivers health, sex and relationship education to both **these objects (include within** girls and boys with a view to informing and changing attitudes. **this section the statutory declaration that trustees have** The trustees are keenly aware of the need for all activities to be clearly **had regard to the guidance** for the public benefit in every respect, in line with the guidelines PB1, 2 **issued by the Charity** and 3. **Commission on public benefit)** ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** **TAR** **April 2009** 3 The projects supported by Amani UK are all self-help community projects. As such, a major element of grant making decisions are based on the degree of local initiatives, the practical contribution in implementing and the nature of on-going participation. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; Through Upendo Foundation, a fully Kenyan NGO founded by Amani UK, there is increased focus on developing a broader base of international support for the projects there, as they currently have Amani UK as sole sponsor. There has been limited success in gaining funding for specific projects, but it continues to be a challenge for longer term core sponsorship. The focus continues to be on Income Generating Activities (IGA’s) to assist their core funding requirements. - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance The year has been overshadowed by the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. This has affected our ability to raise funds, as well as continuing to add additional cost burdens to the work we fund. Despite all this we were able to increase our income by ~2.5% year on year and this reflects well on our solid base of generous supporters. During the year we were successful in applying for a grant from the Souter Charitable Trust (SCT) to fund a new initiative called Healthy Choices 2 (HC2). Young people in Kenya have been affected by school lockdowns due to Covid, followed by intense pressure from a condensed academic timetable created to get their academic studies back on course by the end of 2022. Combined with the increase in poverty caused by the pandemic which has led to girls and boys being used for sexual exploitation as well as succumbing to other social dangers, it was apparent that a mentoring programme would be of enormous benefit. HC2 was created to meet this need and is currently operating in 19 schools in the area. The SCT grant has enabled the course to be set up and for it to run until the end of 2022 after which we hope to have secured further funding to enable HC2 to continue. The Buy a Gift for Kenya scheme, which enables people to buy a range of items on behalf of friends and family, resulted in us being able to distribute 40% more funding from the scheme than in 2020. This funding provides direct support to farmers, widows, orphans and schools. The school links programme has suffered from there being no visits to Kenya during the year because it has not been possible to take hard copy letters etc out to Kenya or to return with the correspondence from Kenyan schools. Consequently, we have been trying to encourage Kenyan schools to communicate electronically but the lack of funds in Kenya for the necessary equipment and limited infrastructure where many schools are located, has resulted in a limited success with this initiative. Despite this, UK schools have continued to fundraise for their linked schools and have enabled essential Covid equipment to be purchased as well as funding for the more usual items required by Kenyan schools such as classroom furniture and toilets. We are looking forward to visits to Kenya re-starting in 2022 which will enable links to be strengthened. Fundraising events for the Ted Rayner Memorial Clinic and Keep a Girl in School (KaGiS), both of which have been running for 10 years, had to be postponed / cancelled due to the pandemic but regular monthly support and one-off gifts for these aspects of our work has remained strong. The clinic now has 3 full time staff and an associate doctor. More clinic equipment has been funded during the year as well as maintenance work required by the Kenyan Health Department. The number of girls supplied with sanitary towels by KaGiS has now exceeded 3,100 – a record number. A Safeguarding Policy has been agreed by the trustees in recognition that we are in contact with vulnerable people (children and adults). We have also been working with our NGO partner in Kenya, the Upendo **TAR** **April 2009** 4 ## Section D Achievements and performance Foundation, to develop their own Safeguarding Policy. This has been adopted by their board of directors and the plan is to carry out safeguarding training when visits resume. We now also have a Reserves Policy in place even though we have no employees in the UK. The trustees agreed that we have a moral responsibility to protect the salaries of the Upendo Foundation employees for a 3-month period and our Reserves Policy makes this provision. We continue to focus on our core work funding community groups. During the year we provided funding to the Upendo Foundation to enable another 5 groups to be integrated into the support programme. We have also funded preparations to set up a new Community Based Organisation called Hope for the Future which will start operating in January 2022 and will be responsible for just over 20 groups. There is no doubt that there are going to be significant challenges in 2022 for the community groups. After 2 consecutive good harvests, the end of year harvest prospects are very poor because it seems that climate change has upset the reliability of the rainy seasons. In such a rural area, such events are likely to hold back some of the future progress we wish to make. **TAR** **April 2009** 5 Section D Achievements and erformance p **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** **TAR** **April 2009** 6 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** Amani UK operates without any overheads and is a natural conduit of donations, flowing through to Kenya from the UK. As such there is no requirement for a reserves policy for its totally voluntary UK situation. The Trustees are mindful however of the employee costs we are committed to within the Upendo NGO we support in Kenya and consequently maintain a reserves policy equivalent to a minimum of 3 months to cover these. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); Historically Amani UK’s funding has come from individuals and churches. This base continues to expand with the increasing number of both young and mature group visits. As many of the young people go off to university and then on into ever widening areas of employment, so the base of support grows. Amani UK also continues to be successful in obtaining funding support for specific projects through other trusts and charities. - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s)** Charles Peter Fish John Richard Prestwich **Position (eg Secretary, Chair, etc)** International Coordinator Chairman **TAR** **April 2009** 7 Date 21" May 2022 TAR Aprll 2009 ] ||**Charity Name**
