AIMS AND OBJECTIVES.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES

KENYA PROJECT 2024-2025

AFRICA, KIBERA SLUM SCHOOL PROJECT IN NAIROBI

ST STEPHENS SCHOOL - CURRENT PROJECT.

St Stephens School is a private run shanty School in Kibera slum. The school is run and owned by Head Teacher Angelina Nduta Mutio. In 2007 I met Angelina and she was trying to help 25 orphans from 2 shacks, in Kibera Slum, Nairobi, Kenya. They had no food, no water, no toilets, no books, or stationery, but she was trying to help them. She lives in Kibera slum too and I could see that she had a heart for these children.

The school was registered as a self-help group, so they can allow children who do not have a uniform, shoes, school fees, to get an education to help themselves. St Stephens School is now is recognised by the Government as a registered school. Exams are now being sat at the school and the children are doing well despite their very poor circumstances.

We went from 25 needy children to 50 needy/orphans to 200 to 600 needy/orphans.Our first job 21 years ago, was to get clean water into the school, through piping. This gives clean water not only to the children and teachers but to that community too. Dysentery is one of the number one killer for under 5’s in Kibera and by providing clean water we are saving many children’s lives.

We currently have children aged 3 years old to 12 years old, a Primary School and one Secondary class for 13-14 year olds. The school is based in Kibera slum, Nairobi, Kenya.

We have a sponsor a child appeal for £10 a month, where £8 out of it goes to food and the rest helps a teacher to give education to an orphans/needy child. We give Porridge for breakfast and rice, beans and milk for lunch.

MAIN AIMS FOR THE YEAR

The aims of this year is for Michelle Warren to go to Kenya to visit St Stephens School, in Kibra slum. To assess:- the Children’s Welfare.

To check the children are being fed, and looked after well by the school and guardians.

To meet the teachers again, and do some team building, and to give some treats.

To hold a Christmas party for the children and fun days to give them some toys and treats, as well as food and stickers.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025

MAIN AIMS FOR THE YEAR (continued)

To assess the school re structure to make sure the structure is safe and they put in the steel bars we previously paid for, and new classroom for science lab.

To give another laptop to the teachers, to help them, at the school.

To get some more video footage and photos off the children to help with fundraising.

To spend time with Agelina Nudta who is the Director of the he school and give her and her husband support, and some treats.

Mission Outcomes

All aims were achieved. The children had ‘fun fun fun.’. A Christmas party, hats, toys, stickers, games, treats. The Children had food and another fun day., with Christmas story comic books too.

Teachers had a lot of fun and team building through the day with them joining in the games. Lots of footage was taken of the children and photos for more fundraising. And the school is looking good.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

We have maintained feeding 600 Orphans/Needy Children all year which is a massive achievement and have continued to help the teachers.

£17’591 was raised by kind donors through online donations and tin collections and shop donations, and through social media and our web site, www.lighthouseofgodministries.co.uk

We have maintained paying our general bills for the shop rent, utility bills, insurance, and governance etc, and Charity bills.

A loan repayment of £5,000 was made to MW during the year, which was subsequently resolved through offsetting against a donation of £18,000 made by the trustee.

LIGHTHOUSE FELLOWSHIP

Our Café style Church this year has gone well. People can have tea and coffee, soft drinks and cake for a small donation, and the money raised from this helps local people in the church and local community. A petty cash system is in use to help with this. We have given out food, clothes, shoes, etc. to help people.

We also have helped many homeless people this year with coats, scarves, gloves, sleeping bags, blankets, clothes, shoes, and food and toiletries.

The church is non-denominational like the Charity and is an Independent Modern Church, and part of Lighthouse of God Ministries.

Pastor Michelle has been Pastorally looking after a lot of people, on a one to one and this year, and number of people coming to services has increased. We needed an additional premises for the Church services. A property has been found this year which we hope will help many other

WEB SITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Our web site continues to raise funds for the charity: www.lighthouseofgodministries.co.uk. Lighthouseofgodministries is our face book page.

Thank you to everyone who has donated items and funds to Lighthouse of God Ministries. You have changed, helped and saved lives.

Many Blessings Reverend Michelle Warren

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025

RISK ASSESSMENT

The Directors actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Directors have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

RESERVES POLICY

The Directors have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The directors aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Directors will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the directors report. The Directors confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Subsequent to the year end on 31st March 2025, Rev Jason Pennington resigned as a Trustee and Director on 4th June 2025. Jane Jones was appointed as a Trustee and Director on 3rd June 2025. The charity continues to operate with three trustees in compliance with governance requirements.

The Charity operates a PAYE Scheme to pay all employed members of Staff and no employees received emoluments in the range of £50,000 to £60,000 (2023/24: None)

11. PAYMENTS TO DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES

During the year, the director, Michelle Warren, received salary payments totalling £2,400.

(a) COVID Bounce Back Loan

In a prior year, the director paid the charity's COVID Bounce Back Loan of £8,385.07 on its behalf and subsequently decided to forgive this debt as a gift, although this was not formally recorded.

During the current year, the charity mistakenly repaid £5,000 believing the loan was still outstanding. Upon review, it was confirmed the debt had been forgiven, resulting in an overpayment of £2,758. The director made a donation of £18,000 during the year, and the overpayment has been offset against this, with £1,000 applied to the separate loan below. The net donation of £16,242 is recorded in Note 3.

(b) Separate Director's Loan

The charity owes the director £1,000 in respect of a separate loan, which remains outstanding at 31 March 2025 (2024: £1,000 included within the total of £3,242).

No other payments were made to directors/trustees or related parties.
