- 3) The advancement of education, in the United Kingdom, Kenya and elsewhere, on the basis of Christian principles and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the provisions of such education in any educational establishment and if the trustees so decide the provision of one or more charitable educational establishments for the general education of children or adults on the basis of such Christian principle.
- 4) The provision of resources and financial support in the United Kingdom, Kenya and elsewhere that enable poor and needy people to improve their quality of life.
- 1) _The advancement of the Christian Faith._ The church members in Kosele enjoyed being able to meet in person after the easing of restrictions made necessary by Covid 19. The church continued to provide spiritual and practical support to church members. In the second half of the year the church pastor left to start a new church. The church leadership team who remained were able to navigate this change well and, with support from Hope and Kindness trustees in the UK and the leaders of Elim Gospel Church Kenya, were able to maintain and support the church membership.
**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)**
- 2) _The relief of persons who are in conditions of need, hardship, or distress or who are orphaned aged or sick_ . Hope and Kindness is very well established within the community in Kosele and is a trusted and reliable support for many families and individuals. Hope and Kindness provided 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 provide residential care for children and young people in Kosele, Western Kenya. The number of children permanently cared for in the Children’s Home 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 again achieved good results in the national KCPE examinations.
Teacher training continued during the year.
Previous planning in 2021-22 for the establishment of a Junior High School enabled Hope and Kindness to make a good start to Junior High School provision in January 2023. Despite the complexities and challenges of the national roll out of Junior High Schools in Kenya, Hope and Kindness staff and local education officials worked well together to ensure a successful first term for our first class of Junior High School students (Grade 7).

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
Our (unpaid) volunteers in the UK have, again, been a great help in fund raising and raising awareness of the work of Hope and Kindness. We are very grateful and thankful for the extra mile that they are prepared to go to support Hope and Kindness and for the extra contribution that they make to the work and long-term sustainability of Hope and Kindness. It is very encouraging knowing that other people have the heart to improve the lives of children, young people and adults who live in another country and whose life experiences and circumstances are so challenging for them.
- policy on grant making;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.
Income generating activities in Kenya, through Agribusiness projects, are making good progress. The farm team in Kosele is growing in confidence and technical expertise in scaling up a fish-farming project which we are confident has great potential as a reliable source of sustainable income in the future.

Section D Achievements and performance
**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 free breakfast and lunch at school.
- Successful start of Junior High School (in response to change within the education system in Kenya) in January 2023.
- The fish farming project was expanded during this period. Producing Tilapia fingerlings to sell to local cage fish farmers is a potentially very lucrative source of income for Hope and Kindness. The growing skill and technical knowledge of the farm team is helping the work to become sustainable in the long term.
- The cricket farming project continued during this year. This is a technically challenging project and took a bit of a back seat in farm priorities due to the expansion of the fish-farming project. Rearing crickets to produce fish and chicken feeds remains one of our goals as part of a portfolio of income generating activities for future sustainability.
- Hope and Kindness provided assistance to local community members in this year – meeting food, housing, employment, medical and other family needs.
- Hope and Kindness remains a major employer in the local community in Kosele. Hope and Kindness staff enjoy good working conditions and regular, appropriate, Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Hope and Kindness staff are covered for the Kenya National Health Insurance Fund, (NHIF). This fund provides a significant benefit to employees. Hope and Kindness also pays the required NSSF (National Social Security Fund) contributions on behalf of employees.
• 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 leads the work of Hope and Kindness in Kenya. He and his leadership team have continued to rise to the challenges of leading the work as part of a long-term legacy

transition. This remains essential as part of a planned transition to fully Kenyan leadership of the work of Hope and Kindness in Kenya. Terry and Judi Mott were able to spend a significant time in Kenya, working with all of the teams involved in the activities of Hope and Kindness in Kenya during this year. This made it possible to further build up the capacity of leaders in Kenya.

## **Section E Financial review**
## **Brief statement of the**
## **charity’s policy on reserves**
Hope and Kindness owns all of the land, buildings and resources needed for the work carried out in Kenya and has no debt. Thanks to a very successful fund-raising event during this year the year ended with a healthy closing balance which gives us confidence in uncertain times moving forwards. The continuing growth of our agribusiness projects makes us optimistic that long term sustainability plans are making good progress.

## **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);
- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
- The charity’s funding comes from regular monthly sponsorship, donations during the year and fund-raising events.
- Hope and Kindness Ministry has maintained a commitment to keep administrative costs low.
- As part of our ongoing commitment to raising standards of achievement in all that we do, Hope and Kindness will continue to invest in our primary school and new Junior High School. Investments in staff training remains an essential part of our overall strategy for our educational activities. We continue to add to our E-Learning resources and capability as well as continuing to scale up Agribusiness projects for income generation. Plans for the further growth of the Junior High School, in line with Government changes to the education system in Kenya, are ongoing.
- We will invest further funds in growing our fish farming business as and when funds allow. Despite challenges facing the cage farmers that we supply fingerlings to, fish farming remains a promising prospect for us. We are committed to a very environmentally friendly approach to this type of farming. All of our fish production facilities are powered by solar power and our water management system adopts a closed loop recirculation method which is very efficient and causes no water pollution.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **DD / MM / YYYY** .
**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
**Independent** [The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to **examiner's statement** undertake the examination by being a qualified member of [insert name of applicable listed body]]. _Delete_ [ ] _if not applicable._
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
