Despite the problems caused by the Covid Pandemic (which affected churches worldwide) the church continued to serve the needs of its members.

As ever the hardships endured in the very poor rural community which Hope and Kindness serves continued to make life very challenging in and around Kosele. Hope and Kindness responded to these needs by providing food relief, money to meet medical needs and assistance with housing costs to needy and vulnerable families and individuals.

• Hope and Kindness Ministry continues to maintain and staff an orphanage in Kosele, Western Kenya. The number of children permanently cared for in the orphanage remained at 12.

• 3) The advancement of education, in the United Kingdom, Kenya and elsewhere . The Nursery and Primary Schools that Hope and Kindness maintain continued to provide for the educational needs of 250 children. The Primary School pupils in Class 8 achieved good results in the national KCPE examinations.

Teacher training continued during the year and further steps were taken to add to the schools’ ICT resources. These two practices help to maintain high standard in our schools.

Planning for the establishment of a Junior High School in January 2023 continued. Hope and Kindness leaders and the school leadership team worked together with local education officials to facilitate a successful start for the Junior High School.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

• Continuous provision of care for 12 orphans at the orphanage in Kosele, Western Kenya. As in previous years all running costs for the orphanage are met without incurring any debts or running an overdraft. The children receive a high standard of care, nutrition and education from a long-established team of Kenyan care staff and teachers.

• Continuing provision of full time nursery and primary education for 250 children. All of these children receive breakfast and lunch free at school.

• The aquaponics project was expanded during this period. Hope and Kindness is committed to generating funds in Kenya to help the work become sustainable in the long term. This initiative is especially important now in light of the multiple uncertainties created by the Covid pandemic and global financial challenges.

The cricket farming project continued during this year. This is a technically challenging project and the farm team continued to experiment with the best methods for maximising cricket production.

• Hope and Kindness provided a variety of types of assistance to local community members in this year – meeting food, housing, employment, medical and other family needs.

• Hope and Kindness continued to provide regular employment for full time and part time staff in the primary school and orphanage and casual labour for members of the local community when required. Hope and Kindness staff are covered for the Kenya National Health Insurance Fund. (NHIF). This fund provides a significant benefit to employees. As a registered employer in Kenya Hope and Kindness also pays the required NSSF (National Social Security Fund) contributions on behalf of employees. All of these practices make a significant difference to the well-being of our staff.

• Continuing to maintain sufficient financial support for the organisation’s work and sustaining income derived from sponsorship and donations during this period. Hope and Kindness is very thankful for the loyalty and commitment of long-term sponsors and donors who make the work in Kosele possible.

• Hope and Kindness owns all of the land and buildings that it works from and has no debt.

• Mr. Dancun Oruko, continues to lead the work of Hope and Kindness in Kenya. He and his leadership team rose to the challenges of leading the work as part of a long term legacy transition. This remains an extremely important step in the
