## Achievements and performance 

The main aim of the charity continues to be the support of children infected/affected by HIV/AIDS and the impact of poverty in the communities around the Port Shepstone area, and to support Rehoboth Children’s Village in South Africa. Increasingly our support is being directed at Education & Training programmes and ongoing support for young adults leaving the care of Rehoboth Children’s Village. 

We have lost a number of sponsors this year due to changes at Rehoboth which is now a short- term facility. Children are not now expected to stay for more than two years.  This has resulted in some 20 children being reunited at the end of 2022.. Sponsors were asked to sponsor a house rather than the individual child. Sadly a few sponsors decided to stop their sponsorship.  Hope Church in Petersfield also decided to stop their support for Rehoboth’s early education. 

Other projects supported by HFSAC include Khula Crèche, Cornerstone Special School, Genesis Hope (Safe Place)- the Outreach arm of Norwegian Settlers Church, Vredenburg Church (Kingdom Kids) and Greensparks Education. 

We have been able to increase our grants this year after receiving a generous legacy of £14,638 from Joyce Thompson and an anonymous grant of £5000 believed be from an employee of NatWest. Specifically we a made a grant of £5000 to Greensparks to help replace an ageing SUV and have reserved £5000 for Cornerstone to help with the opening of a Skills Centre on Norwegian Settlers Church property

## **EXPENSES** 

Expenses were £152 for the financial year 22/23 all of which related to Website costs.. We really appreciate our Trustees who have not claimed any expenses during this period. For overseas bank transfers we continue to use a Forex company, 

## **Volunteer Information** 

While we have been unable to get to S.A. this year we remain very much in touch by What’s App & Zoom and text with our partners, housemothers & young people. We are particularly grateful to Alison Zikalela in South Africa for her commitment to overseeing support for our Leavers and maintaining reserves within Greensparks.   . 

## **Grant Information** 

Our grant allocations have increased this year follow an increase in Income, resulting in a 42 % increase to £59,630. We have continued to support our core grant beneficiaries and further developed our Further Education & Leaver support funds we have supported some 15 individuals with grants totaling £9284. Our Leaver Support fund, has been increasingly used to help our young people leaving the care of Rehoboth Children’s village; this fund supports these young folk with needs such as food, clothing, toiletries and housing which don’t come under Education and Training. We also make grants to

Achievements and performance 

## **Project Information** 

**Khula Creche,** part of Genesis Hope (an outreach organization of Norwegian Settlers church), goes from strength to strength with some 90+ children in the crèche. Some 400+ children are taking food parcels home per week, this together with after school teaching, computer lessons and Mobile clinic visits are reaching many people in this remote area. The project also has a Marimba band doing very well in competitions. Grants were £6848 of which £2838 were regular donations. The balance was for support for their Food programmes, the need for which increases. They are to split from Genesis Hope next year and will be selfsupporting. 

## **Green Sparks Education** 

We have been able to once again support Green Sparks with a £5000 grant for an upgrade to their SUV and other grants totaling £8587 of which £2409 was for Leaver support administered by GS.  Our support for Greensparks Education is coming to an end as a major funder has pulled out and therefore the organization is no longer viable. Greensparks was also the route for providing financial support for our Leavers. I am pleased to say that they have agreed to keep the bank account open, Alison Zikalala the manager will continue to look after our needs, retaining funds for Leavers who require assistance. Alison will be paid by HFSAC for her time. Negotiations are ongoing with Genesis to employ Thuli to contnue her work with rural crèches. Crawcrook Methodist church made a further grant to support a rural crèche. 

## **Genesis Hope** 

We have made three grants of £1000 to Safe Space supporting their feeding programmes in Mkholombe, a large squatter camp close to Norwegian Settlers Church 

## **Cornerstone Learning Centre** 

We again provided a full bursary of £3200 in the form of 2 half year payments for this school for children with special needs. 

## **Vrendenburg Church** 

We again supported the Kingdom Kids programme with grants of £4010 in this very poor community in the Western Cape 

## **Rehoboth Children’s Village** 

A major area of support continues to be Rehoboth Children’s Village. The sponsorship programme has declined by 13%this year, as already reported. The Education Fund continues to provide additional teaching support and includes the salaries of support staff in the early years’ department. 

## **Place of Restoration (Give a Child a Family)** 

We made two grants totaling £2500 to support their Food and Outreach programmes. 

## **Website** 

Our website www.hopesachildren.org.uk has been updated and refreshed. We are grateful to Peter Barrett for developing and overseeing it on a voluntary basis. 

## **Trustees** 

We greatly appreciate the ongoing support of our trustees. We are particularly grateful to Neville Fairbairn, our Treasurer, who keeps our finances in good order, and to John Macklin who has, once again, agreed to Independently Examine our accounts.
