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	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 teacher’s salaries in two Tuition Centres - have been maintained. We have continued to support the children in the two Homes. We have paid for the education costs of the unsponsored boys and girls within the Home. They are going to school now with enthusiasm instead of begging on the streets. We have sent money for 12 more permanent mosquito window screens to protect the children in both Homes from Mosquito borne diseases. More are required for the Girls Home. Money has been given by individuals specifically to help buy land for an old people’s Home. Two donations, received via CAFA, were used towards the Education Program. Several very poor students were able to continue with their further education as a result.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	We received two large company donations from the Perforce Foundation during the year, via CAFA. As the previous project (Appikatla Roofs) has stalled, we were able to use the money towards the Education Program instead, which was a huge benefit to our overall balance. We were able to attend an additional fundraising event. The use of a credit card machine has helped bring in extra money at events.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	SalGO Assist reserves are sufficient to enable the Children’s Homes to continue for 6 months and their Education to continue for 3 months, to enable the beneficiaries time to make alternative arrangements, should problems arise.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	Children’s Homes £6000 & Education £3000
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	The ability to raise sufficient funds to meet project needs continues to be a concern as does the age of both trustees and supporters.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	Sponsorship of children in care and widows are fully funded by regular income whereas other projects are only partially funded. The partially funded projects are supplemented by our fundraising events and appeals during the year. These include stalls with tombola’s & tabletop sales, etc. Gift Aid received from sponsorship and donations is collected twice a year. New requests and projects are advertised to our supporters and are supported if donations are forthcoming.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46	N/A
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	Maintaining enough funds to support projects without additional fundraising events or donations going forward will be difficult. Supporters as they get older may not be as able or willing to continue donating.
