- **1** The charity works, in accordance with its objectives, by grant-funding other charities in various ways 

   1. Principally, by supporting “Fundación Vida en Abundancia” (FVeA), an established Ecuadorian charity in its own right, in its work, including: 

      1. Providing learning and “skills for life” training for disabled and “special educational needs” children 

      2. Assistance with disability, medical and social needs, where not statutorily provided for, for disadvantaged and impoverished people. 

      3. Combating domestic physical and sexual abuse, particularly of women, teenagers and children, by providing a refuge and safety, support, counselling, advocacy, rehabilitation, education and training. 

   2. Grant-funding, where appropriate, other charities & organisations within Ecuador or the wider continent of South America, to assist them in work which is judged to fall within the aims & purposes remit of LIAT. 

   3. Grant-funding & partnering with other appropriate bodies to educate and train local churches & other independent, voluntary or statutory bodies to acquire the necessary skills & knowledge to be able to develop rescue, rehabilitation & advocacy projects for abused women and children. 

   4. Through LIAT’s annual tithe grant scheme, the trustees seek to identify organisations across the world with projects in need of support which fall within the “aims & purposes” remit of LIAT. 

- **2** The trustees are mindful of the potential risks of grant-funding an autonomous Ecuadorian charity, They therefore:- 

   1. regularly communicate with and receive reports from Katie Griggs (Chairman of FVeA), Dr Luzcelli Piamba Paz, Director of FVeA), and Gina Haro, coordinator of FVeA Educational Unit. 

   2. receive reports from other visiting organisations. 3. arrange to visit and assess the work personally periodically.

_(Extract from Trust Deed of Life in Abundance (Ecuador) Trust)_ 



**Objectives and activities** 

**Summary of the main 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) (SORP** Para **1.17, 18 & 19)** 

In compliance with Section 4 (6) of the Charities Act 2011, and the Charities SORP FRS 102 2015, and having due regard to the guidance on Public Benefit (PB1) issued by the Charity Commission, the trustees, in the exercise of their powers and responsibilities, have sought, both at their meetings and on regular visits to Ecuador, to ensure that both the Objects of the Charity, and all Activities of the Charity in pursuit of these Objects are, and will continue to be for the Public Benefit. 

In order that donors to and supporters of the charity may feel satisfied and reassured as to compliance with the Act and the Regulations, the Trustees issue the following statement. 

Life in Abundance (Ecuador) Trust fund-raises to support the work of (principally) “Fundación Vida en Abundancia (FVeA)” in Ecuador, and other charities and organisations with similar objectives, namely: 

## **1 Assist disabled & special needs children & adults, especially the impoverished and marginalised (Charities Act 2011 Section 3 (1) (j))** 

- FVeA runs a training centre for disabled & special needs children, provides disability assessments, & maintains an advocacy role for them. 

## _**Intended Public Benefit Outcomes**_ 

   1. Relief of suffering, poverty, hardship and marginalisation 

   2. Modelling good practice in terms of response to the needs of vulnerable groups in society 

- **2 Develop & provide educational opportunity for these groups according to Christian principles (Charities Act 2011 Section 3 (1) (b) & (c))** 

In the charity’s training centre for disabled & special needs children, staff provide training tailored to individual children’s needs and limitations and so maximise their potential. 

FVeA is assisting the local Baptist church to develop social action programmes for the benefit of marginalised groups. In particular, a project to enhance the quality of life of the elderly in Santo Domingo has been launched. 

## _**Intended Public Benefit Outcomes**_ 

1. Good Citizenship in terms of honesty, hard work, social responsibility, reliability, and care for fellow human beings. 

2. Improved family life in terms of integrity and durability of relationships 

3. Improved sexual health, family planning and faithfulness in marriage 

4. Maximise the children’s educational potential in the widest possible context 

## **3 Provide financial, medical & physical aids to these groups (Charities Act 2011 Section 3 (1) (j)** 

Both within the training setting, and from time to time through welfare clinic contacts in cooperation with the local Baptist church, FVeA has provided aids / prostheses / wheelchairs for disabled children & adults, and facilitates & helps to fund necessary medical treatment. The need for this work is great, though continues to diminish as the Ecuadorian government seeks to provide statutory benefits, both financially and in terms of actual care provision. 

## _**Intended Public Benefit Outcomes**_ 

1. Improved health, reduced disability and greater numbers returned to productive work. 

2. Restoration of independent living 

3. Fostering self-respect undiminished by the potential stigmata of disability. 

## **4 Empower these groups to take on work & be able to earn (Charities Act 2011 Section 3 (1) (j)** 

FVeA has attempted to set up, continue, supervise and support, "microbusinesses" for the poor, disadvantaged & disabled. Local Ecuadorians are encouraged to take ultimate responsibility for the various projects and become self-sufficient. During 2024 the Hadassah outreach workshops didn’t take place, but one off craft days were held to encourage women. 

## _**Intended Public Benefit Outcomes**_ 

1. Increased numbers in gainful employment 

2. Improved family stability as a consequence of assured regular income. 3. Reduced delinquency 4. Reduced dependence on crime as a lifestyle 



## **Objectives and activities** 

**Summary of the main 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) (SORP** Para **1.17 & 19)** (cont.) 

5. Reduced substance abuse and addiction 

**5 Provide refuge, rehabilitation, counselling & help with legal advocacy for women and children suffering the direct or consequential effects of domestic violence and abuse (Charities Act 2011 Section 3 (1) (j) & (m) (iii))** With legacy support, the charity has enabled the Hadassah Project within FVeA to signpost victims to refuge & rehabilitation facilities for victims of domestic violence, and in due course hopes to establish one or more “places of safety” in order to respond to crisis needs. Training in this work has been provided for members and staff of local churches and other organisations, and links have been established with a partner organisation specialising in legal advocacy for victims. Christian principles for marriage & family are taught to offer practical hope for breaking the abuse cycle, particularly in turning child victims into adult perpetrators. _**Intended Public Benefit Outcomes**_ 1. dissemination of knowledge of availability of help for victims in time of crisis 2. protection of victims, particularly children, from further harm

3. restoration of self-respect & empowerment to break free of domination 4. skills training to permit independent living where necessary 

5. bringing domestic abuse (physical & sexual) under legal jurisdiction 

6. breaking the cycle of domestic abuse as part of Latin-American culture

## Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year (SORP** Para **1.20 & SORP** Para **1.41)** 

- **1 “HABILIDADES PARA LA VIDA” (project for children and young people with mild to moderate learning disabilities)** 

   **1.** Previously defined as a school, this project has been reconstituted and reregistered in Ecuador with the _Ministerio de Inclusión Económico y Social_ , and staff redefined as “facilitators” rather than teachers. 

   **2.** Limited parental contributions to fees continue to be supplemented by Life in Abundance (Ecuador) Trust both through designated donations and from general funds, to meet facilitator salaries and project running costs. 

   **3.** The project rents premises with another mainstream school “Pablo Palacious”. Classes resumed as normal in 2023/24 except for the 



Achievements and performance 

|||Presidential mandated cessation for the national disturbances which|
|---|---|---|
|||continued until the end of the academic year 2024..|
||**4.**|The Covid crisis necessitated a further reduction in the number of|
|||facilitators from 6 to 2, with classes online on a 1 to 1 basis during the|
|||2022/23 Academic Year. Classes now continue albeit with reduced|
|||numbers.|
||**5.**|The 12-seater mini-bus continues to be available for use for a variety of|
|||purposes for HPLV.|
||**6.**|This programme aims to equip 11-14 learners with special needs and|
|||limited learning abilities with the skills & knowledge to achieve maximum|
|||independence into adulthood.|
|||_1._<br>Last year, “Skills for Life” continued with the structure set up the|
|||previous year, with reduced holidays, in order to help the children to|
|||retain more learning skills, and the learning content continues to|
|||work with  3 categories namely:|
|||_1    Conceptual_<br>_2   Social_<br>_3   Practical_|
|||_2._<br>Where previously possible & appropriate, children were moved into|
|||regular education in the school, “Pablo Palacios”, or other main-|
|||stream facilities. However, the Government now restricts any|
|||movement even if appropriate for the children and none have|
|||progressed since 2021.|
|||_3._<br>The Covid-19 pandemic required partial closing of the school, with a|
|||mixture of face to face and home-based zoom alternative support|
|||now being given**_._**|
|**2**|**Hadassah in a range of different communities.**||
|||Following Covid Hadassah works as follows:,|
|||1.<br>The charity continues to be a beneficiary to the residents, and to|
|||maintain a constructive relationship with community leadership.|
|||2.<br>The Hadassah workers give regular talks and teach on family|
|||abuse, and give crafting workshops which enable the women to|
|||increase their self-esteem and potentially earn a small income.|
|||3.<br>These projects have yet to be followed up to assess their popularity|
|||& effectiveness..|
|||4.<br>The director gives workshops & conferences to women of all social|
|||strata, together with telephone counselling and psychological help,|
|||and the project continues to provide support and advocacy for|
|||victims of abuse.|
|||5.<br>Where necessary, women at significant risk can be moved to a|
|||secret location for their own safety.|
|||6.<br>This project continues to fund an Ecuadorian trained staff worker in|
|||providing support and advocacy for victims of abuse.|
|||7.<br>FVeA continues to part-fund and facilitate training in the|
|||management & prevention of abuse.|
||**2.**|In 2020 The “First Baptist Church” in Santo Domingo, agreed with FVeA, on|
|||the construction, above the church building, of a designated centre (with|
|||suite of rooms) for the Women’s Ministry, and approached LIAT for financial|
|||provision for the construction and equipping of the new building. This was|
|||agreed on by the LIAT Trustees, and construction was completed in 2022|
|||with the Centre formally opening in early 2023..|



- **3 OTHER PROJECTS 1. Ministry with Disabled Adults** 

This ministry, run on the out-of-town land at San Pablo de Chile by Susie Hart MBE of Craft Aid International, works under the legal umbrella of FVeA. The project has trained several cohorts of disabled adults to make crafts goods of saleable quality, first in Ecuador and now internationally. The ministry has restarted following resolution of the Covid-19 crisis. 

**4 ADMINISTRATION 1.** FVeA continues to provide accounts to 31 March, with sufficient information for LIAT trustees to monitor grant expenditure. **2.** Online donation facilities are hosted by Church 123, Stewardship and CAF, to which prospective and ongoing donors are directed from LIAT’s UK website, and continue to generate both interest & donations.

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to  include additional information, where relevant about: 

- The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising). (SORP Para 1.47) 

- How expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity. (SORP Para 1.47) 

- Investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.  (SORP Para 1.46) 

- A description of the principal risks facing the charity   (SORP Para 1.46) 

- **1** The charity raises funds principally from one-off and regular donations, mostly through Gift Aid. A number of small local fund-raising events have taken place, giving the opportunity to publicise the charity’s work, and sell Ecuadorian goods. 

- **2** Online giving via CAF & Stewardship continues to be at a substantially reduced level in the continuing economic crisis. 

- **3** The charity continues to lose further regular donors who are facing their own personal financial challenges. Compensatory fundraising therefore poses a significant challenge to the trustees. 

- **4** However, regular supporting church donors and other motivated individuals, through projects and “special collections”, have helped to ensure that the charity remains financially able to continue and develop its much needed work. 

- **5** Annual reports & financial statements for Vida en Abundancia, our principal grant recipient, give a helpful picture of how funds are used in very practical ways in meeting the objectives of our charity, but are not available this year in time for inclusion in this statutory submission to the Charities Commission.

**Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

CHARITY COMMISSION 

## **Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the** Charity Name **trustees / members Life in Abundance (Ecuador) Trust of** 

## **On accounts for y/e 05 April 2024 Charity no. 1106851** 

## **Set out on pages The Accounts ( as attached) & this report.** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s **Respective** trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the **responsibilities of** Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. **trustees and examiner** 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** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the **examiner’s statement** 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 (other than that **examiner's statement** disclosed below *) 

1. 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 

2. 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._

## **Section B                           Disclosure** 

Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material problems.(E.g. accounting records have not been kept in accordance with s132 of the Charities’ Act 2011 and those accounts do not comply with the requirements of the 2008 Regulations setting out the form and content of charity accounts; any material expenditure or action which appears not to be in accordance with the trusts of the charity; any failure to be provided with information and explanations by any past or present trustee, officer or employee; and any material inconsistency between the accounts and the trustees’ annual report.)

## Fundación Vida en Abundancia 

Acuerdo Ministerial # 0282 

## **OPERATIONAL REPORT COVERING PERIOD APRIL 2023 TO MARCH 2024** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

_Fundación Vida en Abundancia_ (Life in Abundance Foundation) is a non-governmental, non-profitmaking organization, with its base in the city of Santo Domingo de los Colorados, Ecuador, set up and registered with the Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion ( _Ministerio de Inclusión Economica y Social, MIES_ ), a department of the Ecuadorian government, in the year 2006. 

The organization is governed by its membership through the general assembly, which meets at least once a year at the annual general meeting, and a non-executive board of trustees ( _directiva_ ), elected by the general assembly every 2 years.  The current board, elected in October 2022 and serving until 2024, is comprised of the following members: 

PRESIDENT AND LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE: Edison Wilfrido Salazar Oña 

VICE-PRESIDENT: Katharine Lesley Griggs 

SECRETARY: Tania Margoth Pincay Indacochea 

TREASURER: Sofia Carolina Paz Vicuña 

1[ST] SUPPLEMENTARY MEMBER ( _PRIMER VOCAL_ ): Bélgica Marcilia Aguilar 

2[ND] SUPPLEMENTARY MEMBER ( _SEGUNDO VOCAL)_ : Danny Elías Espinoza Figueroa 

The programmes and activities of the organization are managed by the executive director, currently Dra. Luz Celly Piamba Paz, a Colombian psychologist and missionary, who works in this role on a part-time basis. 

The administration of the organization is currently undertaken in the main by Katharine Griggs, a British missionary serving with the British mission agency Latin Link, with the part-time help of a local book-keeper, Lidya Mejia, overseen by a registered accountant, José Paredes. 

Urb. Banco de Fomento, Calle Ceibos y Quitumbes Santo Domingo de los Colorados, Ecuador Teléfono: 02-2743409 



## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The statutes of _Fundación Vida en Abundancia_ describe it as an organization providing social services on the basis of its Christian principles. Its principal objective is to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, in particular children and adolescents with mild to moderate learning disabilities; and victims of abuse/violence in the family setting with consequent disabilities on an emotional or behavioural level. A secondary objective is to be a channel of practical/economic help for those people with disabilities who have limited economic resources. 

In accordance with these objectives, the organization runs 2 particular projects: 

- 1) _HABILIDADES PARA LA VIDA_ (skills for life): 

For children and teenagers with mild to moderate learning disabilities, providing training to develop further their conceptual, practical and social skills, through activities both inside and outside a classroom setting, running from Monday to Friday. (This project has previously been referred to as a school, but since it does not meet the requirements of the Ministry of Education for educational establishments, the term ‘life-skills project’ is now deemed more appropriate to use.) 

- 2) _HADASSAH_ (women’s project) 

For women with emotional and/or behavioural disabilities as a result of violence within the family, this programme consists of conferences and workshops on the subject of violence in the family setting; training in handicrafts such as sewing, embroidery and jewelry making, which aim to improve the participants’ self-esteem as well as helping them to generate income for their families; and counselling, spiritual support, and accompaniment in legal issues for individuals. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

Both projects have continued at reduced levels compared to the years prior to the pandemic, in large part due to reduced staffing. 

- 1) _HABILIDADES PARA LA VIDA_ (skills for life): 

For the start of the academic year April 2023 to February 2024, the project was moved to the new offices of the Fundación on the second floor of the First Baptist Church of Santo Domingo, with a similar timetable to the previous year: group activities from Monday to Thursday, in the afternoons (2pm to 5pm), combined with individual attention during hour-long sessions with the facilitators on Friday mornings. A total of 12 children, 10 of them with Down’s syndrome, ranging in age from 8 to 19 years old,  were enrolled in the project at the beginning of the year. (This compares to a total of 14 children in the previous year, when we returned to in-person, face to face, classes for the first time after the pandemic; 10 children for the virtual classes held during the 2 years of the pandemic; and 28 children and teenagers during the year 2019-20, the last year that classes were 

2 



held face to face in the classroom.) One child with autism spectrum disorder was withdrawn after a 3 month trial period, as it was felt that we were unable to offer the expertise required. In the year in question, the project employed 2 full time facilitators and 1 half time auxiliary, planning and running activities focussed on a variety of skills and abilities, including fine and gross motor skills, numeracy, literacy, art, simple food preparation, and PE. 

Over the course of the year, encouraging advances were observed in each of the children and teenagers, despite some significant behavioural problems with a number of the children. JB, an 8 year old boy in his second year with the project, learned to count in sequence the numbers 1 to 10, to identify vowels and the letter M and its syllables, and to link the written words starting with these letters with the appropriate picture. VJ, a 10 year old boy who joined the project in the year in question with a very low attention span and poor motor skills, by the end of the year was able to hold a pencil and roughly colour a picture, although often outside the lines. He also learned to associate 10 pairs of pictures. DA, a 14 year-old boy who returned to classes in the previous year with a new enthusiasm and ability particularly for numbers, learned to order in sequence numbers from 1 to 99, to relate numbers with quantity from 1 to 12, and to do basic sums (addition and subtraction) up to a total of 10. He is also able to identify vowels, the letter M and its syllables. AB, a 15 year-old girl, can now read, construct (with moveable syllables) and write words starting with the letters M, P and L, and write short words with these letters that are dictated. She can also count in sequence from 1 to 30, and is able to relate quantity with the number from 1 to 5. MP, another 15 year-old girl, can count in sequence from 1 to 10, relate quantity with the number from 1 to 5, identify the vowels and the letter M and its syllables, and relate written words with these letters with the appropriate picture. She is also able to articulate personal information such as her first name and surname, and the names of family members and other children in the project. 

## 2) _HADASSAH_ (women’s project): 

The director, Dra Luz Celly Piamba, who offers support in her role of psychologist, undertook the following activities in the year in question: 

- Conferences for churches on themes such as prevention of abuse/violence in the family setting, identity and preferences in the family nucleus, emotional connection, conflict resolution, norms and limits in parenting: 30 

- Workshops in 3 secondary schools for pupils, staff and parents, on themes such as forgiveness, life projects, and making a difference. 

- Individual counselling: 50 women (each one receiving an average of 5 sessions) for reasons including domestic violence, conflict within the family, and infidelity; 12 men, for reasons including violence within the family, and decision making (each one receiving an average of 3 sessions). 

3 



- Couples counselling: 11 (each one receiving an average of 6 sessions), for reasons including marital breakdown, separation and divorce. 

- Assessment and professional (psychological) treatment of 3 teenagers for disruptive behaviours. 

- 1 woman in a vulnerable situation (victim of abuse by previous partner, and with signs of learning difficulties) received counselling and economic support to start a new small business venture (sale of morocho) 

- 2 sisters, referred by a church in another province, victims of abuse by their father, received psychological attention over a period of 45 days. 

In November 2023, a 2 day workshop on decorating recycled bottles to serve as lamps was run, and a total of 15 women attended this. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The Fundación has several sources of income: 

- Grants from the Life in Abundance Trust (LIAT) in the UK (shown in the accounts under _donaciones del exterior_ ) 

- Donations from individuals and churches and other organizations in other countries such as the UK and the US (shown in the accounts under _donaciones del exterior_ ) 

- Monthly fees paid by parents of children & teenagers attending the _Habilidades para la Vida_ project, according to their socio-economic level (shown in the accounts under _pensiones)_ 

- Membership fees from members of Fundación Vida en Abundancia in Ecuador (shown in the accounts under _aportaciones miembros_ ) 

- Rental income from property originally owned by the founder and donated to the Fundación in December 2018 (shown in the accounts under _arriendo Dep 1 y 2, I Confraternidad)_ 

During the year in question, the Fundación applied for and received the following grants from LIAT: 

- January 2024: $5,000 for salaries and social security benefits of staff, and associated work costs, in the _Habilidades para la Vida_ project, for 3 months 

- January 2024: $1,700 for purchase of computer equipment 

After bank charges for international transfers were deducted, the Fundación received a total of $6,670.00 from LIAT during the year in question. 

In the year in question, the Fundación continued its collaborative venture with the UK charity Artizan International (formerly known as Craft Aid), which runs a training course for people with 

4 



disabilities, based at a property owned by the Fundación in San Pablo de Chila, a village just outside Santo Domingo. During the year in question, the Fundación received a total of $2,000.00 from Artizan International for use of this property (shown in the accounts under _donaciones del exterior_ ). Artizan, now registered locally with the Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion (MIES) as Artizan Ecuador, continued to support the people who had previously received training to make cards from recycled paper and banana leaves, and jewellery, and re-started its training activities on a more individual basis with a new range of products. 

- In the year in question, the Fundación also received a further donation from a supporter in the US: • A total of $2,100.00 

The total of overseas donations ( _donaciones del exterior_ ) received during the course of the year as shown in the attached accounts was $10,770.00. Other sources of income are detailed in the attached accounts. 

A principal category of costs of the organization each year, including the year in question, has been staff costs. These expenses can be found in the attached accounts under the categories of _sueldos, salarios y demas remuneración_ (salaries), _beneficios sociales y indemnización_ (assorted benefits required by law), _aporte a la seguridad social_ (social security payments equivalent to National Insurance), _honorarios profesionales_ (professional fees paid to accountant), and _trabajadores autonomos_ (freelance staff, such as support staff for Habilidades para la Vida, and the book-keeper). Redundancy payments were a significant expense during this year (a total of $7,738.75 shown under _beneficios y indeminizaciones_ : _liquidaciones laborales_ ). According to local employment legislation, the employer has to make significant payments to a member of staff on them leaving their employment, even when they resign voluntarily, and these depend on the length of their contract. It was considered financially prudent to terminate the contract of one long-term member of staff (and to re-employ her on a new contract), and from then onwards, for all members of staff to be on yearly contracts, to reduce this burden for the future. A total of $23,110.82 was spent on all staff costs in the year in question. 

Under the category _Otros: reembolso donaciones,_ an amount of $800.00 is shown. The supporter in the US who gave the Fundación a donation of $2,100.00 this year, asked us to pass this amount on to the family of one of the pastors of the Primera Iglesia Bautista, and to a previous employee of the Fundación. 

Other expenses are listed in the attached accounts. Total costs over the course of the year in question were $32,194.00
