Incoming donations/fund have been considerably reduced since Covid & the economic situation including reduction of donors/sponsors able to continue with donations. (death, ill health & economic) & no fundraising activities were undertaken Linda Greenland & Michael Radford gave a substantial personal donation in 2023 to have a "reserve" in Kenya to ensure students education would not be affected in the long term For 25 years the charity has provided fantastic educational/community opportunities but due to health/personal/age issues it has been agreed by the trustees that the charity will not actively look for more projects and ways of fundraising. The natural reduction of funds will mean the charity will be "wound down" over the next few years
