Chairman's Re ort This year, as in recent years, we have found it very difficult raising funds, due to the ongoing poor economic situation in the UK, from where all our funding comes, We also have the problem of many funders no longer regarding Brazil as a poor country, despite the immense poverty to be found there. As well as this, child poverty in Brazil gets no media coverage at all in the UK, despite being a lot worse than in many countries which receive huge media coverage. This year our income was £68,375. However, this included donations from the Trustees and their families of £30.000, which they decided to make to cover the shortfall in funding received, thus enabling Children in Hunger to continue all it's vital work, without having to reduce the number of children benefiting or avoid having to close any projects. Another problem we had to contend with was increase in costs of everything in Brazil, caused by Brazil's out-of-control inflation, particularly in Fortaleza, our main area of operation, which has the countrls highest inflation, However, we have been helped favourable exchange rate, due to a very strong Pound. Despite all of this, l am pleased to report that, to date, over 15,000 impoverished children and young people have benefited from our work. As in previous years, our main area of operation is in the city of Fortaleza, located in Brazil's poor north-east region, where we run feeding and education programs, and this year we re-started the Vocational Training program for unemployed teenagers and young people, which was the first one since the pandemic. We have also continued to give help to poor families suffering extreme hardship, by way of monthly food parcels and financial support. We also continue to run feeding programs in the poor rural town of Sao Miguel do Araguaia in the state of Goias, and in Ipeuiras and Macambira in rural Ceara, and for children from the indigenous villages of Barreira Branca, Weheria, Mirindiba, Itxeo and Cachoeirina, all located on Bananal151and in the state of Tocantins. We are also involved in feeding and education programs in the citie5 of Salvador and Lauro de Freita5 , in the state of Bahia. These are in partnership with, and administered by UK charity Children of Bahia. I would like to thank our Project Co-ordinators and our small group of dedicated volunteers, both here and in Brazil, for all their hard work throughout the year, Along with everyone who has made donations, both large and small, without whom we would not be able to continue this vital work.
