Section C Ob"ectives and activities Summary ofthe objects of the charlty set out In Its governing document The objectives of the Charity are the prevention of poverty amongst and education of young people within Kenya especially, but not exclusively the Dagoretti Corner street children. Summary of Main Activities The Charity continues to provide a programme of support in Kenya which includes the provision of food, shelter and education. The Trustees confirm that they have operated in accordance with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The charity operates on land owned by the Kenya Company. The main work is located on a 1-acre plot of land in Dagoretti, a suburb of Nairobi. In addition, a 10-acre plot near Machakos, about 40 miles from Nairobi was purchased in 2014 as a possible location for future activities. Martin Musyimi, the Director in Kenya and his wife, Rachel, manage the funding, visit the project regularly and oversee the staff, they have a good relationship with the children and staff and attend the Saturday programme. Records are kept on each young person in the Programme, and we ask them to prepare a forward plan for each of them. In addition to those still at the project the charity has sponsored teenagers through secondary school education one of whom has now set up his own business (market stall) with his sister. The charity has also supported 4 former street boys through college courses as they had completed secondary school education with another organisation but found themselves back on the street after completing their final exams and with no skills. They were sponsored to attend a technical college and three are now in employment. One went on to be sponsored through university and keeps in touch with the project, helping and encouraging the children. Summary of the maln activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) Installation of electricity has enabled the children to spend more time at the project doing their homework as they now have good lighting. The raised toilets and showers have helped with hygiene and are easy to clean, the showers are also put to good use also for washing clothes. Some local young people spend much time at the project during holiday times having extra tuition and staying off the streets, being fed and kept safe. They all help with the shamba - the vegetable garden - looking after the chickens and ducks and preparing the vegetables for meals. Part of the land has been made into a rudimentary pitch for football and handball and the boys are in a team that has taken part in national championships in handball. Two ex-street boys have won scholarships to football academies having completed their primary school education and have now moved on from the project. The trustees who have visited have been really encouraged to see young men who are now happy, confident, chatty, enjoying sports, helpful and with a sense of worth, there is a real feeling of genuine love being imparted.

Vision The long-term vision is to provide a self sustainable solution to deliver care for street children and to work with other children who are at risk to prevent them ending up on the streets. The programme has been run by Kenyans from the start and there is now have a strong team in Martin and Rachel Musyimi who work for the Charity on a voluntary basis. The children are looked after by a paid full-time resident worker, Mutunga, who has experience of working with street children in the Dagoretti area and is supported by his wife. Over the last few years, we have improved the facilities. All the rooms have concreie floors, and the school room is well equipped with desks. There is a water supply, separate shower and toilet facilities, and electricity which has made lighting safer and improved conditions for doing homework. Vegetables are grown on the land. In the medium term the trustees are working to provide a regular income which involves development of the current site with some flats loffices. The local area is being developed rapidly and there is a need for residential and commercial property for sale or rent. Whilst it will soon cease to be an appropriate site for rehabilitation programmes it could become an income stream for the charity for the work to continue at the other site andlor support other organisations with similar aims to this charity. The trustees are working with another Christian organisation, Hand in Hand, who have experien both of developing land to provide an income stream for charities, and of raising investment funds to kick start the process. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed in December 2017 between the charity, Hand in Hand and Briken East Africa Limited (BEAL), their operating partner in Kenya. This project is intended to release an income to support the charity into the future. Deployment of that income will be planned while the building project progresses on the Dagoretti Corner site. A formal contract between DCSCP and BEAL for development of the site was signed early in 2022- While this project progresses an individual development plan is being prepared for each boy for whom the charity is responsible. It is the priority of the charity to ensure that none of the residents will be adverspbly impacted by the building development and eventual change of use of the land at Da oretti. Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information) TAR July 2025
Maln Activities Currently, programmes of rehabilitation, education and provision of food are run involving 8 young men, aged from 18 to mid-20s, living on the land, and others who come from vulnerable families in the surrounding communty (the aim being to prevent them ending up back on the street). The programmes are small scale and limited in scope. Some others have already passed through the programme. You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about.. policy on grantmaking. policy programme related investment; contribution made by volunteers. The trustees acknowledge the contribution made by a group of volunteers in supporting the fundraising and publicity work of the Charity. Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year Overview In January 2024 contractors moved onto the property to begin work on developing the site. A site office was built, and work began, the first task being the relocation of the residents to an area on the property away from the building construction. However, work has been temporarily on hold since early March while the charity, together with BEAL, addresses a challenge to ownership of the land. By the end of 2024 it had been confirmed that the charity was the legal owner of the property and that the challenge had no foundation. Resumption of building work awaited legal confirmation that the challenge had been closed. The young men progressed with their education and training throughout the year. The aim is to help them gain academic or trade qualifications that will bring opportunities to secure employment. Within the next 2 years it is expected that most of them will be able to live independently of the charity, supporting themselves. TAR July 2025
