Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Despite the difficult political situation in Myanmar, the Charity continued to support its objectives and contribute to the educational outcomes of people in northern Myanmar.

Kachin Relief Fund

The Kachin Relief Fund is a UK based charity that supports the Kachin people in Myanmar. It provides emergency relief and help for Internally Displaced People (IDP’s), provides educational activities, advocacy and promotes human rights awareness.

In the reporting period, the Charity contributed towards the funding of teacher training in the remote northern areas of the Kachin State. The training aimed to improve education quality by equipping teachers with better English and Maths teaching skills, including methodology, lesson planning and strategies.

Prat Manu

Prat Manu is a local community organisation in Myitkyina, Myanmar established to promote to promote mother-tongue-based early childhood development and literacy for young children in IDP and vulnerable communities. It does this through community-based mini-libraries, capacity building and locally produced storybooks.

In the reporting period, the Charity contributed towards the ongoing activities of Prat Manu including its publishing, networking and training activities. These included training, publishing children’s books in local language, supporting mobile library and mini library / reading activities.

Star Child Preschool

Star Child Preschool is a preschool set up in Myitkyina, Myanmar committed to providing English language education and supporting children from disadvantaged backgrounds, including those from poor families, refugee communities, and IDP camps.

During the reporting period, the Charity contributed towards the initial setup of the preschool. As this contribution was made at the end of the period, reporting on outcomes will follow in the next annual report.

Emmanuel Orphanage

The Emmanuel Orphanage is run by the BCMS Anglican Church in Mohnyin, Myanmar. Children come from remote villages in the mountains and IDP camps to gain access to education.

In the reporting period, the Charity continued to provide general support towards the education of the children through a financial contribution towards food, clothes and educational resources.

Fundraising

The Charity usually receives around £1000 per year as a result of one-off donations and small fundraising activities let by Trustees (eg coffee mornings/lunches, handicraft sales).

However, in the reporting period fundraising exceeded £6500. This was as the result of two main fundraising drives:

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

Details of any funds materially in deficit

Cash reserves at 31/03/2025 were £19,486 in unrestricted funds. The Charity enters the next reporting period with no binding commitments to these funds. As such, the Charity goes into the next reporting period in a healthy financial position to consider new proposals / requests for financial contributions.

Further financial review details (Optional information)

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

All funds are unrestricted.

The Charity has the following main sources of funds

Myanmar remains disconnected from international banking systems. This means the Charity cannot transfer money via IBAN or SWIFT. As such

the Charity continue to rely on individuals based in third party countries such as Thailand or the US, as well as services such as Western Union and Wise. We hope that in the future Myanmar will be part of the international banking system and we can move away from reliance on individuals.

The Charity considers all proposals and requests for funding. In general, the Charity chooses to make a financial contribution towards a project rather than funding projects in their entirety.
