Policy on social investment including program related investment		The business is in profit, other than from bread which comes under the category “Free Bread” for which our charity provides social investment grants to various local recipients (Including schools and hospitals). We are pleased to report that the social impact, which can be measured in many ways, not only provides positive health care (there continue to be no deaths from starvation despite poor harvests) but also through education and improvement of utilities - water and electricity for example - ensures increasing independence and empowerment. We continue to provide an emergency contingency fund which has proved helpful in times of personal and group need. Friends of the Ifakara Bakery Project provide support, advice and additional fundraising activities from time to time.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Supplies of free bread We funded 76,136 loaves of bread during 2020 and over 80% of these reached children below the age of 7 at Kindergartens and Nursery schools. It is a lifeline for many and has helped continue to maintain improved school attendance despite the impact of Covid. We also provided free bread for hospital wards for malnourished children, neonates and TB patients and at the Nazereti leprosy centre. Education The good pass rate for assessments and qualifications at all relevant levels has been maintained due to tuition from the study centre. Innovative activities We have further developed the beekeeping project which continues to provide an income stream for those participants and

also has many health giving benefits. We have found it beneficial to receive advice from a UK charity, Bees Abroad with particular interests in this area. Emergency/Pastoral Care 2020 again saw some individuals needing personal support, often caused by poorer health. The Trustees agreed with all such support provided.

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	Historically, fundraising has been through the provision of an extensive series of talks.

Individuals have also kindly undertaken “one off”fundraising activities.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46	We continue to believe that our work is not simply the relief of poverty but to empower beneficiaries to achieve independence and personal successes.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	The principal concern facing the charity is linked to the Covid-19 pandemic which has led to a significant reduction in opportunities to give talks around the country. However, we have been working with some of the friends of Ifakara to explore other fundraising activities which we hope will see fruition in the future.
