## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**Supplies of free bread**<br>Our main focus in 2022 was ensuring the<br>adequate provision of bread through The<br>Free Bread Fund to the existing accounts<br>we support. We funded 104,328 loaves of<br>bread during 2022 and over 80% of these<br>reached children below the age of 7 at<br>Kindergartens and Nursery schools. This is<br>an increase of 32,996 loaves from 2021<br>and reflects the growth in the size of the<br>orphanages, kindergartens, and the<br>number of hospital in-patients and leprosy<br>centre residents.<br>It is a lifeline for many and has helped<br>continue to maintain improved school<br>attendance despite the impact of Covid.<br>The free bread provided for hospital wards<br>goes specifically to malnourished children,<br>neonates and TB patients and for residents<br>and day patients at the Nazareti Leprosy<br>Centre.|





**Education** Two kindergartens, Mahutanga Kindergarten and Kivukoni Kindergarten, which already receive daily supplies from the Free Bread Fund, were unable to pay the teachers salaries which would have meant the schools would have closed. We were able to send funds for the annual salaries, thus impacting the lives of the children, their families and the village as a whole. **Innovative activities** We have continued to develop the living standards at the residential centre for learning disabled children, The Bethlehem Centre, by providing the remaining funds for solar panels and the installation to provide electricity to the dormitories and recreation room for the first time. **Emergency/Pastoral Care** 2021 again saw some individuals needing personal support, we provided emergency funds to the Nazareti Leprosy Centre into the fund set up in honour of Sister Maria Paula who was instrumental to the founding of the centre. The Trustees agreed with all such support provided. **Communication** Improvements continued to keep the many supporters of the charity updated. These included to the website, the creation of a master list and the mass mailing of a Christmas card which included the annual newsletter. Outreach has resulted in a subsequent increase in individual donations. **Expanding the Board of Trustees** The three new board members who joined in 2021 have brought a wide range of skills and experience to the charity. These skills have enabled us to improve administrative record keeping as well as outreach and the coordination of bulk mailing projects. They are also planning a trip to Ifakara in 2023 to visit the bakery and all the accounts receiving bread.
