4. Continue with sustainable farming/poultry/planting trees as a way to provide jobs & support rural communities to become self-sufficient
5. To act as charity “umbrella” offering support and advice, for other worthwhile projects & local Kenyan NGO/CBO especially working to empower young girls with the aim of making further reusable ST kits in 2025
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
As previously stated Linda Greenland & Michael Radford gave a substantial personal donation in 2023 to have a "reserve" in Kenya to ensure current students education would not be affected in the long term
For 26 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

Independent examiner's report on the accounts
Section A Independent Examiner’s Report
Report to the trustees/ members of
Charity Name MAJI SAFI PROJECTS
On accounts for the year 16/01/2024 Charity no 1106384 ended (if any) Set out on pages 1 & 2 1 & 2(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. [The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of [named body]]. Delete [ ] if not applicable.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention examiner's statement (other than that disclosed below *)
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
-
Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
