THE MARA RIANDA CHARITABLE TRUST Charity No: 1102255 Company No: 5035681 ADDRESS AND REGISTERED OFFICE: _ Casuegate House. 36 Castle Stre¢t, Hertfd. Hertlordshire SG14 1HH TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their Annual Report of The Mara Rianda Charitable Trust. The charity's objectives are to relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship and to relieve the distress caused thereby in Kenya and such other parts of Africa or the world as the Trustees may think fit and also to advance education by SUGh means as the Trustees may consider appropriate including by establishing and operating any educational establishment(s) in Kenya and such other parts of Africa or the world as the Trustees may think fil The charity's strategies during this period were to assist both the Mara Rianda and Enkereri Primary Schoo15 and the loGal Gommunity in the Maia Rianda, Maasai Mara, Kenya; in addition the continued support of students by way of educational bursaries. The Memorandum and Articles of Association contain the provisions which regulate the purposes of the charity. The Trustees will consider the amounts. if any, required for reserves in order to effectively meet the charity's designated needs and planned commitments. In order to fulfil its objectives and strategy the charty received funds primarily by writing to persons who had expressed an interest in supporting the same as well as persons who potentially may support the charity. During the year ended 31 March 2025 further funds totalling £102,924 have been received. The building of a new dormitory, new toilet and shower block and the refurbishment of an existing dormitory at Mara Rianda Primary School has been completed and fully funded by the charity. Funds have also been utilised to provide ongoing support to the Mara Rianda Primary School, Enkereri Primary School and two pre-schools in the Maasai Mara, Kenya as well as the local communty. We continue to support children through secondary school education. To date we have supported over 200 children, including 74 girls, to go to secondary school, of which 153 have now completed their secondary education. In addition we support one student at Kenya Medical Training College. We continue to provide financial support for four teachers. as well as replenishing general school supplies; such as writing materials, books and sports equipment. The charlty has reserves of £53,935 which will be used for the construction of teachers accommodation at Enkereri Primary school.
The Gharity's plans for the future include the continuing provision of bursaries to enable students to re1ve secondary education and to continue to provide the schools and local community with reSoUrs. In addition we are looking at the feasibility of improving the water supply to both Mara Rianda and Enkereri Primary Schools. We believe that our accounts are selfexplanatory and show clearly how funds donated have been used. Funds retained will be used to meet the ongoing cost of providing bursaries, financial support for teachers and the provision of school supplies. The Trustees are extremely grateful for the continued assistance of Governors, Camp in helping with all of the logistics in carrying out the charity's work in the Mara. In particular the provision of Julius Karla as our Community OffIr who regularly visits all the schools. The Trustees are also extremely grateful foi the continued assistance of Deloitte in Nairobi in providing local payment services. It is acknowledged that the charity could not operate as efficiently as it does without the enormous support of Governors, Camp and Deloitte. Nigel Directors and Trustees sworth 4th Dernber 2025
