Summary of the objects of the charity set out in Its governing document TAR MarGh 2012
During this year HIA has continued its regular support of children and teachers in all the schools we are linked with. Five primary schools, one secondary school and one vocational college. The trustees see it as important to visit the projects and keep up the relationships that we have with the Africans. This engenders trust both ways. Our main ethos is to come alongside these men, seeing what they are doing and their vision under God, and then we assist where we can, rather than imposing our ideas on the men. Sumrnary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in r•latlon to these objects (include within this saction the statutory declaration that trusto08 have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) This year, Jamie and Christine Wright have been able to visit all the projects in Uganda and Matthew and Michelle Barrow have spent time in Kenya. Latterly, Matthew led a team of four UK builders Out with him to start work on a new vocational block for Morning Star Academy in Nakuru that will be the only vocational school in the area of Engashura in Nakuru, Kenya. This will be of great help to the community. It is noted that the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional inforniation) We want to recognise the great way that our donors have contributed to the schools we support. Without the donors there would be no charity.

Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year In May/June, Matthew and Michelle Barrow visited Kenya. Seeing the A-Kili Foundation in Itigo, (with the national board in Nairobi), they found their suggestions for the regional governing body having been implemented, making the day to day running much easier. The local board are working towards the opening up of the Wellness centre. This is the new name for the rehabilitation Centre that has been under construction. HIA have been involved in the setting up of several workshops for vocational training. In July/August, Jamie and Christine Wright were able to visit all the schools in Uganda. This enabled them to see the progress of each school as well as to See the current challenges, and the future vision of the men we are working with. Matthew Barrow worked towards getting everything ready for the team trip in September. Each member of the team paid for their own flights, insurance, board and keep. The overall trip was supported well particularly by two churches. In September the team were able, with the assistance of local labour, dig the foundations of a 50 metre long building that was going to be constructed on a slope. The foundations had to be right! One of the churches was able to provide the funds enabling us to buy a cement mixer, and that meant that we could also lay 80% of the foundations in the time we were there as well. Since the team left, the local workforce have continued with the work and by the end of the year had completed all walls up to lintel level. As all the funds for the vocational block were designated, this meant that all the regular payments continued going to each school month by month. In Malawi, the new nursery block and headmaster's office were completed, however, due to lack of funds, there has been a delay in furnishing these rooms. We were also able to help with repairs in the Elohim schools in Uganda. to the borehole and a collapsed wall being rebuilt and strengthened. We used a new method of transferring funds to Kenya and Malawi, which helped our support as the exchange rates were more favourable. We are working on a better way to transfer to Uganda.
