## Mission and Objectives 

The Lunchbowl Network is committed to identifying and assisting children facing extreme hardship within Kibera and Kwarangare, two informal settlements in Nairobi. Kibera is recognised as the largest informal settlement in Sub-Saharan Africa, with an estimated population of | to 1.5 million individuals residing in a densely populated and challenging environment.

In response to these significant challenges, the charity implements a range of initiatives, including the provision of nutritious meals and high-quality, stimulating education within a safe learning environment. 

Our educational programmes strive to address the emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the children while delivering the Kenyan syllabus in an engaging and innovative manner.

TRUSTEES REPORT SEPTEMBER 2024 - AUGUST 2025 

We consider the intentional development of children’s character from a tender age as being a vital part of their human flourishing and learning for life. ‘The charity targets the early years learning experiences recognising that these lay the groundwork for essential skills such as socio-emotional development and resilience. The early years are a window of unprecedented opportunity of “rapid brain development, experiences during this period shape the brains architecture, impacting future learning, behaviour and health.” UNICEF 

## Educational Opportunities 

Our objective 1s to mitigate the disadvantages these children face from an early age, thereby providing them with opportunities to compete for secondary school placements. We focus on developing literate and numerate individuals who can aspire to attend secondary school and potentially pursue higher education or vocational training. We view schools as foundational platforms that offer pathways out of extreme poverty. 

Our children are aged between 2 to 11 years, all of whom have encountered significant hardships, including the loss of one or both parents, serious parental illness, or special educational needs. Prior to their admission to our schools, many children subsisted on a small bowl of porridge or less each day. 

## Educational Impact

We provide a creative and high-quality education daily to highly vulnerable children. Our Kindergarten, located approximately 100 meters from Kibera, incorporates a Special Educational Needs facility and a unit for deaf children. 

New children are admitted in January at the commencement of the academic year and receive two sets of uniforms, school shoes, and underwear. Children arrive at 7:30 a.m. for porridge, enjoy a fruit snack at 10:30 a.m., and are served a hot lunch at noon, which may include lentils and chapati, beans and rice, or spinach and ugali. 

In January 2025, due to a sudden decrease in funding from our primary donor, the charity was compelled to close the primary school. In April 2025, all displaced children were offered supported places at Langata Barracks, a local, partially government-supported primary and secondary school. This transition provides a consistent education aligned with the Ministry of Education, ensuring continuity from primary to secondary education. Langata Barracks is recognised for its superior educational standards and cleanliness compared to local Kibera schools. 

A Homework Hub, staffed by four members of the teaching team, operates every evening and every Saturday morning, providing a safe and conducive learning environment.

## Staffing and Community Impact 

The charity employs 23 Kenyan staff members, including 9 teachers, 9 learning support assistants, 3 support staff, 1 accountant, and | physiotherapist, including specialists in special educational needs and hearing impairment. 

Most support staff members are mothers from the Kibera community, many of whom receive school placements for their children. ‘This employment empowers them with dignity, security, and greater control over their lives, allowing them to connect with other mothers facing similar challenges, particularly those with children requiring special educational needs support, thereby alleviating their social isolation.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LUNCHBOWL NETWORK LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05708351) 

I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025 set out on pages 11 ~~-~~ 19. 

This report is made solely to the Directors of The Lunchbowl Network Ltd, as a body, in accordance with regulations made under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and Charity SORP (frsse). 

My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Directors matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume _ responsibility to anyone other than the charity and charity's directors for my independent examination work, for this report, or for the statement I have given below. 

## ~~Respective responsibilities of Directors and Independent Examiner~~ 

As Charity directors for the purposes of charity law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Directors consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

b) follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

c) state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## ~~Basis of Independent Examiner's statement~~ 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity, and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Directors concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## ~~Independent Examiner's statement~~ 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or 

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
