CHARITY NAME: The Saints’ Projects Trust
TRADING NAME: SPT
REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER: 1115724
Summary of objectives and activities over the next 12 months (2020/21):
This is an exciting period in the life and work of the Saints’ Projects Trust. During the 12 months in question, we have developed our work with the Sisters of Rahab and Ruth in Kampala and in the worst slum in Harare, Zimbabwe (Epworth) among other things.
We have begun to raise significant amounts of money (by our standards) for the work in Epworth, which is focused toward turning around the lives of those caught in the downward spiral of poverty through addiction and prostitution.
In Kampala through a contact a property has been bought for the Sisters of Rahab and Ruth, saving them from homelessness and the pressure to return to sex-work.
The trustees declare that they have approved the above trustees report.
