| 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 | All projects – two Children’s Homes, support for widow’s, poor families’ support enabling the children to remain in school, educational grants to poor students, help for HIV/Aid+ families, and salaries of 6 teachers in two Tuition Centres - have been maintained. We have continued to support the children in the two Homes. Sponsors were found to enable eight new children to be admitted in Dec. 2021 and another two between March and September 2022. Four more have been admitted without sponsors and are supported locally. All have settled in well. Five of the older residents completed their studies, are now working and self- supporting. An independent counsellor was appointed for the Homes in March 2022, which is an additional cost for us. Funding was provided by donation matching with Cisco to build six more roofs for the tribal families of Appikatla. |

Para 1.21 | Expenditure has exceeded income this year. The effects of the pandemic on our finances are still being felt. In addition, we have needed to increase the amount sent per child, while not all sponsors have felt able to increase their giving. We also have the additional cost of the counsellor wages. Letters to sponsors requesting additional support have resulted in some increasing regular giving and others giving one-off additional donations. |
