The Peter TrwtAnnual Report to the Charities Commission, Year-end 2024 The principal purpose of the Trust is to make Provision for East Timorese Education and Relief (P.E.T.E.R). For bistorical and geographical reasons East Timor is one of the four poorest countries in the world, in great need of economic and social developmenL Now in its twenty sixth year of political independence the county still lacks an adequate infr&8tructure and there is a shortfall in native people with the necessary technic, professional and managerial skills that are needed for the nation building. Health care and educational provision are very lirnited, and unemployment is high. The population of one and a quarter million is young with a median age of enty years. Each year there are twenty thousand school leavers. Although the E&st Timorese homeland and its surrounding se&s have valuable mineral and other natural resources these have yet to be fully exploited to the benefit of the population at large. Most analysts think it will take more than a generation for the people of East Tirnor to be able to provide for themselves in any way adequately. Meanwhile the majority of the people remain 'dirt poor,. The Peter Trust prioritises health care, educationltraining for the young people who comprise the majority of the population. supports income generation projects, and assists families with the development of local agriculture and the rearing of livestock. Most children are malnourished and many are stunted in their growth so within its means the TrLt funds a variety of nutrition enlwicement projects. The Peter Trust was fornially registered with the Charities Con]mission for England and Wales in March 2000, and given the Number: 1080159. The current Trustees are: Simon Myers (Cl]aIrn). John Barnes cfreasurer), Laura Lundey (Secretary). Norah Small. Kevin Gdey' Eddie Lumley" and Germano Gomes. The Trustees have had regard to the Charities Commission, s guidance on Public Benefit. The Peter Trust has several Agents in full time residence in East Timor who facilitate applications for funding of and disbursals to projects according to the decisions of the Trustees. These agents also help to provide inforniation to the Trustees on the prevailing situation in the territory. They include: Sr Clara Irnia SPC (Sisters of St Paul of Chartres - an international RC Religious Congregation). and David Odling-smee - an Englishman from Yorkshire who lived long-terni in East Timor and engaged in educational and social work there. During 2018 David moved to Australi4 but he is still active in supporting/ enabling the Trust projects in East Timor. The Trustees are kept abreast of developments in East Timor by the dissen]ination of infonnation accessible through East Timorese expatriates resident in the UK. by email Correspondence and other digital media conducted by Trustees with the Trust Agents and Beneficiaries in East Timor" and via Reports presented to the Trnstees by the visits of their Members to the territory. Trustees have visited projects supported by the Trust in 2002. 2004, 2007, 2011, 2013, 2014. 2016, 2017 and 2019. Planned visits for 2020 and 2021 was curtailed due to travel restrictions consequent upon the Covid19 pandemic. again in 2023 a hoped for visit was not possible for both health, financial and personal reasons. In 2024. one of our Trustees, Gennano Gomes, and our agent David Odling-smee both visited East Timor in person and reported back on the use made by our beneficiaries of the funds we provided to them in support of their various projects in their schools and clinics. The Trustees continue to engage in the dissemination of infonnation about the impoverished cIrcuntanceS of the people of East Timor. Funds were generated through on-line Appeals, and from Standing Orders already in place, and from occasional Donations and Bequests. The Trust website > thepetertrnst.org.uk < is updated whenever necessary to include the wide ranging and on-going work which is currently being supported for the benefit of the people of E&st Timor in their home county and abroa Activities undertaken by the Peter Trust during the past year to furtber the Charity's purposes for the Public Benefit The Peter Trust has continued to fimd projects in education and health care.
