## **Achievements and Performance**
SORP reference
|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**1.1. Please see the accounts, CC16a section A3,**
**for the total amount spent on each**
**category.**
**1.2. Provision of Food**
•
3824 food bags at a cost of £38,240
were supplied to families. [This was
due to the great need in the poorest
families. Hondurans were still
struggling after the extended Covid
lockdowns in the 2nd half of 2022].
Fuel and delivery costs were
additional.
•
At Macuelizo School, due to the great
need of these children, we support
the dining room so that they can
provide meals three days a week. This
meets the nutritional needs of the
children furthering good attendance.
•
Each month food is provided to the
two feeding centres we support, one
in Pedrigal and the other in La Ceiba,
on the north coast. £800 per month.
•
Food was supplied to The Vicente
College near the capital, Tegucigalpa.
•
Food for lunch time meals was also
supplied to the schools we support.
•
Christmas party dinners were
provided for 1870 children.
**1.3. Education Sponsorship**
•
Nearly 3000 children were sponsored
allowing them to attend school. This
sponsorship allows the each child to
access the state schools. This sponsorship
provides: the exercise books, pens,
crayons etc. without which these children
would not be able to attend state
schooling and is thus very good value for
money.
**1.4. Basic Housing**
•
10 basic houses were completed during
the year. In the Valle area.|
|---|---|---|
## **1.5. Poultry**

- Paint was provided for the kitchen walls at Guanacaste School.
- Guaimaca College domestic science room was furnished with: a cooker, fridge, liquidiser and basic cooking items such as pans, bowls utensils etc. Material and sewing supplies were also bought for the sewing department. These were from a one off gift.

- During the year a much needed classroom was built at the school at Macuelizo. [Due to the efforts of the Trust, in 7 years this school has grown from non-existent to 190 children. The school is in the Valle area and serves the poorest children, some walking for over 2 hours to get to school.]
