Policy on social
investment including
program related
investment		 Para 1.38
Kondanani UK aims to ensure that
our activities positively affect society
as a whole. Our CSR policy aims to
guarantee that we work ethically,
considering human rights as well as
the social, economic and
environmental impacts of what we do
as an organisation. Specifically, KCV
Malawi has an ongoing commitment
to use green energy through biogas
and solar power projects.
Contribution made by
volunteers		 Para 1.38
Grant and Jane Gebbie visited the
KCV orphanage in Malawi and were
instrumental in updating the
Safeguarding policing in conjunction
with Executive Director, Annie
Chikhwaza and Cheryl Stanford.
Jane, who is a vet also provided
veterinary services for the farm.
In November 2022 the trustees
agreed to support the Exeter
Kindness mural project, a year-long
fundraiser in the city to paint an
iconic Charlie Mackesy illustration
on a prominent wall in the city centre
while raising funds for charity
including KCV. Al Gibson arranged a
crowdfunder, exeterkindness.co.uk
website and managed promotion in
the local media and via social media.
Paul Colsell volunteered to paint the
mural. Tim Davies oversaw the
finances. Gwenllian Riall was part of
the leadership team and took the
photographs. Jeanine Rose-Gibson
arranged a fundraising tea which
was supported by a team of
volunteers. The project raised about
£7,500 and was well supported by
the community and received a great
deal of volunteer support. It created
many opportunities for exposure for
Kondanani UK including on ITV
news, interviews with BBC radio,
front pages in the local newspaper
and created much goodwill towards
the charity.
