OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2021

GOVERNANCE MATTERS

1 Trustees’ meetings .

Trustees only met (via Zoom) on one occasion during the year because of the pandemic. However, they kept in close touch with the affairs of the association via telephone and email. For much of the year life was at a standstill in Kenya as well as in the UK, the children were not in school and progress towards the two major capital projects (the well and solar energy) stopped. The trustees’ meeting held in March 2021 was principally to discuss and approve expenditure for the drilling of the well in the school compound.

2 Election / Appointment of Trustees for the year 2021 / 2

The constitution provides that trustees and officers of the association must be elected or appointed annually at the AGM. An election would take place at the AGM if there were more nominations than places available, otherwise the current and any new trustees would be appointed. Not surprisingly, when the governance of the association seems to be running smoothly and in accordance with the expectation of members, trustees tend to be reappointed annually to “continue the good work”.

However, the current board of trustees is fast approaching the time when several members will, for health and other reasons, wish to stand down. The group has worked together for many years, several members from the very beginning of FKC, it is time for a new look at the way ahead. Members have been notified of the need for nominations to the board of trustees and it is hoped that there will be a good response to that appeal.

It is proposed that, for this year only, the current trustees be reappointed, with a view to work taking place during the year to appoint and train up new trustees. New recruits would be coopted to the board with a view to their appointment / election at the following AGM, when trustees wishing to stand down would then be able to do so. This is a departure from proper constitutional practice but does seem to be the best way forward. It does not seem necessary to change the constitution to allow for this one-off process providing that members agree with the proposal.

3 Reserves Policy

The current reserves policy is printed overleaf. It is proposed that this policy is approved for a further year, as circumstances have not changed significantly and all the facts remain as outlined in the document.

4 Privacy Policy

The association is required to have a formal privacy policy in order to comply with the GDPR rules. This is currently being written and will be presented for approval at the next Annual General meeting. An article in the June 2021 newsletter explained the way in which we keep records safe and up to date.

FRIENDS OF KENYA’S CHILDREN

RESERVES POLICY 2020 / 21

The Association’s first responsibility is the maintenance of the orphans / boarders at Champions School. We will hold in reserve £6000 as being sufficient funds to provide the monthly fees for these children for a period of four months in the event of a sudden drop in income to the boarder support fund. Currently this sum is equivalent to one year’s Gift Aid claim, and one year’s claim will be held in reserve for this purpose.

The association is working with Champions School towards the school achieving selfsufficiency. We will hold in reserve, either in the bank or in as yet unclaimed Gift Aid, funds raised or donated for specific purposes to that end – currently the solar power fund and the well fun

We will hold in reserve funds made available by bequest or other special gift, for any specific purpose for which they are given, using them as requested by the donor or, where no use is specified, as decided by the trustees.

We will hold in a separate account, restricted funds donated for the sponsorship of young people to high school and further education, drawing on those funds for those purposes only.

The reserves policy will be reviewed annually at the Annual General Meeting and adjusted as necessary to fit changing circumstances.

Secretary’s report of the year 2020 – 2021

1 Introduction

As in previous years, this report aims to bring members up to date with events rather than to be a report of the financial year 2020/21. This year has been dominated by the continuing pandemic and it has been difficult to keep up with events at Champions School as the Kenyan Government has constantly changed dates and rules in response to the rise and fall of Covid 19 numbers. The school is now back in action and beginning to settle into the new and demanding pattern of short terms and extraordinarily short holidays set by the Government to “catch up” the lost 18 months. Most school staff have had one shot of Covid vaccine, which has given them some security in returning to work. For FKC, one problem has been our inability to visit Kenya or to have Kenneth Kimeu, the school’s director, come to the UK. Email, WhatsApp and the telephone are no substitute for face to face meetings and language is a problem – we all speak English but our accents cause difficulties. In spite of these concerns the school has survived and is thriving.

2 Purpose and use of this report

In previous years we have asked members to read the report in advance and come to the AGM prepared to raise any concerns or ask any questions as the report is considered paragraph by paragraph. Last year, as we conducted the AGM by email and letter, members were asked to send in those questions, and we had a good response. So, for those members who are unable to attend the meeting. it seems worth emphasising that questions and concerns sent in prior to the meeting will all be considered and a response provided – do not feel that if you not able to be present in person, you therefore have no voice. Every contribution is welcome, however received.

3 Progress towards self-sufficiency for Champions’ School

This has been a year largely characterised by marking time, overcoming crises and simply doing what was necessary to survive. In spite of this, some real progress has been achieved. The best way to explain is to take the headings from last year’s report and provide an update on each.

3.1 Pupil numbers and staffing issues. The staff team has remained remarkably stable and most members of staff returned after each lockdown. Pupil numbers have been slow to build up because many parents could not afford the school fees after such a long time of struggling to feed their families. A number have moved their children to the Government school with a promise to return to Champions’ School when funds permit. The school currently has 144 pupils and they are, with a struggle, collecting 70% of expected fees. The school van is collecting 12 children daily as part of that total, and 20 are orphans / boarders for whom FKC pays school fees and maintenance.

3.2 Water supply for the school. Last year’s report raised the possibility that it might be necessary to use some of the money being saved for the drilling of a well in the school compound in order to help with the running costs while the school was closed. In fact, this did not happen, the school managed to cover its costs, including retaining the staff, without help from FKC. As a result, in March 2021 we gave the goahead for the well to be drilled, a story told in detail in the last newsletter. The project cost more than expected, as explained in the treasurer’s report, but it is nonetheless a major step towards securing the future of the school. The water is said to be plentiful and clean, suitable for drinking once treated. The school is completing the work to pipe the water to where it is needed as funds allow. The water is free apart from a very small annual charge (£16) for the use of a “natural resource” and so will save the school around £1000 p.a.

3.3 The new education system. Members will remember the long-running saga of the tablets and laptop containing the new curriculum, which were on order for months and failed to be delivered. It is a relief to report that, at last, they arrived at Champions’ School in December 2020. It is probable that, because of difficulties with

supply from China, the computer firm that had the contract was keeping its larger schools supplied at the expense of Champions’ School. Thanks are due to Kenneth for his persistence in pursuing the computer firm until he was given the promised equipment. The children and the teachers are enjoying this new way of teaching and learning.

3.4 Solar Energy. Now that the school has a secure water supply, the next large capital project is the provision of a solar energy system to supply power for the school. The first quotation for the work, from a local firm in Eldoret, was considerably more expensive than expected and a second quotation is being sought. The St James Place Charitable Foundation Trust (SJPCFT), the charity that gave us a generous grant towards the computers for the new education system, has agreed to consider an application for a grant towards this important project, and this will be pursued as soon as the second quotation is received.

3.5 Flooding and drainage. Kenya has continued to experience extremes of rainfall and drought, the former stable climate has completely disappeared, a catastrophe for this agriculture-dependent country. Flood defences installed last year at Champions’ School have worked well and the school has not been flooded, allowing life to continue as normal, but the prolonged periods of heavy rain have taken their toll on the buildings, where constant repair and maintenance have been needed.

3.6 School furniture. Last year’s report was written just as the government reopened schools several months earlier than expected, causing a panic to complete the building of new school furniture. The phased return to school enabled the welder and carpenter to continue building furniture in some classrooms while the children worked in other rooms, and the work was completed in time to comply with the requirement that all older children should have individual desks and chairs, with the small ones working at tables big enough to provide social distance.

4 High School and Higher Education students

This aspect of FKC’s work relies on individual sponsors from the UK. To date, it has been possible to send every eligible young person to high school at the end of their primary school career, a testament to the generosity of our supporters. Here are some of the outcomes.

4.1 Former high school students

This detail is not usually a part of the annual report but the points it illustrates are important. Almost every Champions’ School orphan/boarder who has so far been sponsored to high school keeps in touch with Kenneth. All are working and all seem to be happily making their way in the world. Without FKC it is unlikely that any of them would be in a position to escape the poverty trap. To quote our motto, we have helped them “Out of poverty through education” – and it is important to note the very hard work which every young person puts into achieving this outcome.

4.1.1 Everline. Everline was one of the first Champions’ School leavers to be sponsored to high school. In that first year of seeking sponsors, we included Everline although she was a local girl and not an orphan, but her family were in need and she was a bright girl who deserved a high school place. She did well at high school and went on to train as a teacher, with a small amount of help from FKC. Now she is working, and she pays the school fees for her sister to attend Champions’ School. This is a special sort of FKC success.

4.1.2 Triza, Tecla and Jane. These three girls left Champions for high school in the same year as Everline. Triza, married and with a small son, is enjoying life as a chef in a Nairobi hotel. Tecla, married and with one child, qualified as a teacher and is working in a primary school and Jane runs her own small retail business in Eldoret.

4.1.3 Austin. Sponsored by St John’s Church, Austin successfully passed his University Diploma in Medical Records and is working at Lodwar Hospital. He asked Kenneth whether there was any further funding available to enable him to pursue his dream to become a doctor, but on hearing that this was not possible, he has set about working and saving to put himself through college.

4.1.4 John Deng. Deng is nearing the end of his year at university in Canada, using a scholarship offered to him by a Canadian refugee organisation. We do not know whether he will have a future there or will have to return, but his year at a Canadian University will be an asset whatever happens...

4.1.5 Andrew has a job in South Sudan. Racheal, also Sudanese, is sponsored to college by her community. Peter Thon has been offered a university place and is seeking finance from his Sudanese community and Francis, from Lodwar, is able to take up his offered university place with help from a Government grant. Mary and Rachael, both from Sudan, are believed to have returned to Sudan.

4.1.6 Dedan and Samuel as far as we know continue to provide motor bike transport around Lodwar and are providing a good life for themselves.

4.2 Last year’s Champions’ School Leavers

12 orphans/boarders took the KCPE Government leaving exam in April 2021 (instead of November 2020 as it should have been.) Most obtained good marks in spite of their disrupted final school year. Eight students needed a sponsor in order to go on to high school and, amazingly, eight offers of sponsorship were received. All were offered good schools and they have settled well.

4.3 Current high school students

In addition to the eight new students, above, there are two students in year 4, six in year 3 and four in year 2. All seem to be doing well and were pleased to be returning to school when at last the threat of Covid receded and schools reopened. Most of them remained at Champions School during the second closure, together with the boarders, because of both the cost and the risks of sending them home to guardians.

5 The Boarder Support Fund

It is good to record that our supporters have maintained their donations to this vital fund throughout the pandemic, and the small drop in regular monthly income was more than made up by generous additional contributions, As a result Kenneth was able to take in 14 new orphans / boarders when the class 8 students left for high school. The group consists of the twin nieces of Eugene Otieno, a family in crisis “close to home”, and four children from Turkwel. In addition eight Sudanese children came from the refugee camp. The Sudanese Bishop who heads their community is paying half the fees for these children and FKC the other half. They are especially vulnerable because the camp, their only home, is being closed down.

6 Fund raising

Hands-on fund raising by almost all our usual methods came to an abrupt halt with the first lock down. However, it was always the plan to wind down the sales activities, and had Covid not intervened, the last sales would have been held by now. In 2021 we have held two small sales (for books and for bric-a-brac) in an effort to clear stock, and we anticipate holding two Fashion Events in 2022 to clear the stock of excellent quality clothing and accessories currently stored at Alvaston Methodist Church. .

We are of course always in need of funds and new ways of boosting our income will need to be found once life returns to normal. However, once the solar energy system is installed, there should not be any further large capital projects needed before the school can manage its day to day running costs successfully without finance from FKC. It would then be possible to consider whether we could increase the income in order to pay the school fees and maintenance costs for more orphans. The boarding facilities can cater for 40 children. We currently fund 20.

7 The well project shortfall and five penguins!

There is something almost every supporter receiving this report by email can do right this minute to boost our funds. It takes no more than five minutes. Click on this link or more probably type it into Google.

https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/penguin

You will find yourself on a “Just Giving” page occupied by several cheery penguins intent on raising £6500 for FKC to make up the shortfall in the cost of drilling the well. You can make a donation in five minutes. Or you can read all about it – 10 minutes. Or if you are interested, you can click on the links in the words on the webpage, and discover a world of penguins having fun! You can enter the competition to win a penguin – or you can ignore all that and just put a small donation into the fund – five minutes. The FKC supporter who has designed this Just Giving project for us has put so much work into it. The sum raised so far is over £2000. Imagine his (and our) delight if a week after these papers go out, the total suddenly jumps up. It would be a well-earned boost for the designer and for our funds.

8 Conclusion

This document in last year’s annual report ended with the hope that by the time of the next AGM, life would have returned to normal and Covid 19 would be behind us. Whilst this is sadly not the case, neither here nor in Kenya, perhaps we can hope that a corner has been turned and we can look to the future with some confidence. Unusually, it will be important for some of the focus of our work in the coming year to centre on the internal organisation of FKC, as explained in the Governance report. A new phase of working with Champions’ School is on the horizon as they become able to manage their own day to day finances, and if the opportunity for “doing a new thing” is to be grasped, new trustees will be needed to take the vision forward. Exciting times lie ahead!

For now, it remains for me to record enormous thanks to our members and supporters, to the volunteers who respond so willingly whenever we put out a call for help, to all the individuals who have raised funds for us in so many ways, to the churches which have maintained their donations even whilst not meeting for worship and to our Chairman and trustees who have steered the association through another peculiar year. Finally, it is good to pass on our thanks as always to the people of Alvaston Methodist Church, who have been so tolerant of our continuing occupation of the “shop room” as our store for the Fashion Event goods. Friends of Kenya’s Children is a remarkable charity, changing children’s lives for the better one by one, with who knows what long-term outcomes for the good of their communities and their country.

Sandra Noon Secretary

Treasurer’s Report

1 Thanks

John Byrne has turned our finance spreadsheet into the proper form of accounts for the Charity Commission, every year since FKC became a registered charity. Behind the form of accounts presented to the AGM and submitted to the Charity Commission, lie many spreadsheets involving complex workings to ensure that every donation and every item of expenditure is recorded correctly. It is a mammoth task. Once the accounts are approved at the AGM, they go next to Shirley Austin, our Independent Examiner. Shirley has the spreadsheet, full accounts and bank statements and checks every entry before reporting to the Charity Commission that all is as it should be. We are enormously grateful to both John and Shirley for their patience and persistence in ensuring that everything is in order and their generosity in undertaking these tasks free of charge.

2 Gift Aid

Many thanks to those members who returned Gift Aid forms last year in response to an appeal to members to agree to the association using the Gift Aid received in any way found to be the most urgent need. This was a great help in enabling us to meet the cost of the well drilling.

Unfortunately, we have to ask all Gift Aid contributors apart from those who sent in forms as above, to renew their Gift Aid consent in the current financial year. Many consents are out of date and it is possible that we could accidentally claim for a member who for whatever reason is not currently paying tax. We would hate to be the cause of a member receiving a nasty letter from HMRC! The new form will appear as a “pull-out” in the December newsletter with information as to how to send it back to us. Thank you in advance for your co-operation in keeping the records up to date.

3 Comment on the figures

We are happy to take any questions on the accounts at the meeting or by post / email but the following comments may be assistance.

3.1 Receipts. The total income this year was £10.9k more than last year. However, this does not portray the underlying picture for the 12 months ending 31[st] May 2021 as this total includes an amount of £26.0k from three Gift Aid payments from HMRC that related to the tax years from April 2015 to April 2018. This very big amount arose because two of the payments should have fallen into the previous year but were not paid into the account in time.

If this Gift Aid payment is excluded then the income for the reporting year is down by £15.1k. As with all charities the pandemic has hit hard and included in that figure is a drop of £8.1k in sales and fund-raising income. As well as the loss of large fundraising events items such as a loss of £1k for fees and donations raised when we give talks to groups etc and £0.6k normally received from the church coffee bar sales are entirely attributable to the pandemic. These are losses which we have to try to replace with other fund-raising when we can.

The remaining drop in income is almost entirely attributable to the fact that in the previous year (19/20) we received a one-off welcome legacy of £6.7k which was, obviously, not repeated in the reporting year.

Although we have suffered a serious drop in income this year, it is clear that our regular donors and supporters have not only maintained their donations but slightly increased them, for which we are extremely grateful. As the effects of the pandemic recede and groups begin to meet again, we can look to the future with confidence.

3, 2 Payments The £20.6k increase in payments in the year can be entirely attributed to the cost of the well drilling. All other fluctuations in payments are the swings and roundabouts of life at Champions’ School, as, in addition to maintaining the orphans / boarders and supplementing the director’s salary, we seek to help them cope with the crises that occur when you are living hand to mouth, especially, both last year and this year during the pandemic.

The well drilling quotation was for £14.5k, for which cost water was to be found and brought to the surface by an electric (solar) pump. This quote was based on the expectation that water would be found between 90 and 110 metres below ground. At 120 metres the borehole was dry. Trustees agreed that a further borehole should be drilled, which would cost a further estimated £6k and if necessary the Spalton bequest (£6.7k) should be used to cover this cost. Water was found at 170 metres depth, and a return to the first borehole produced water at a similar depth. Both wells have good water, one is more productive than the other and the electric pump is fitted to that one. To save money, a hand pump raises the water in the second well. The total cost to FKC was £20.6k. This additional expenditure has not put the association at risk, we did not need to use the Spalton bequest and if needed we also have two years Gift Aid to claim (the third year being held as our reserve) However, we are hopeful that a good contribution to the additional cost of the well will be met by the on-line “Just Giving” page set up by our supporter Jayesh Shah – see paragraph 7 of the secretary’s report.

4 Conclusion

The overall position is satisfactory, if rather less comfortable than in recent years. The restricted account remains in a healthy position with sufficient income from sponsors to cover the fees for the 20 young people in high school, and where occasionally a sponsor is unable to continue with a four year commitment, Gift Aid has been, and no doubt will continue to be enough to fill the gap.

We have reserves in line with the reserves policy and some Gift Aid in addition held by HMRC until it is needed.

The general account is where the strain is felt as each month the maintenance for the boarders needs to be met, and regular income from standing orders and one-off gifts does not cover the monthly amount needed. We have funds to cover the shortfall as explained above, but it would be a huge help to the association if members and supporters could where possible promote Friends of Kenya’s Children to their friends and colleagues. Every new standing order, for whatever amount, is a great help, providing a stable, regular income. Every one-off donation helps, and once groups are meeting again we are always happy to respond to invitations to give talks and slide shows.

Finally, I must add my thanks to all our supporters, donors and volunteers, who work so hard for FKC and for the children in the care of Champions’ School. Thank you indeed!

Jennie Atherton Treasurer.

FKC Chairman’s comments 2021

Its that time in this evenings Agenda when I am asked to sum up my views of the past year, well I suppose it should be two years!

As for all charities, as well as individuals, schools and most organisations, it has been a very challenging time. Many charities have seen their income decimated and yet thanks to you and all those supporters who were unable to come this evening FKC is in remarkably good shape.

As I look back there are many things which one could say ‘stand out’, but there is one picture which I feel endorses what FKC is doing and confirms for me the correctness of our strategy to help Champions become self-sufficient in its core activities. It was the visitor who appeared to guide Kenneth and the professional well borers to the exact position for the well. The advice was precise and accurate and yet no one knew the gentleman or where he had come from. When I was told it reminded me of two things:

Firstly , Jesus telling his disciples, who had struggled with a unproductive night fishing, where to drop their nets, when they followed his advice they caught a mammoth catch of fish! Secondly in Hebrews where the writer says “some have entertained angels without realising it”.

I genuinely believe God was in charge of that entire project and this should be an enormous encouragement to everyone involved in FKC.

Now I would like to say something about the future.

The world is changing in many different ways and I am very conscious that we are all getting older and what has been so productive up to now, may have to be reviewed for the future. None of us like change, but I believe we have to ask God to guide us, as to the shape of a sustainable FKC for the years to come.

The loyalty and commitment of the current Trustees (most from the start of the charity) has been truly phenomenal and has to be applauded, but literally we have to question what is possible for the future.

I have used the KISS approach in education and business – it stands for: KEEP, IMPROVE, START and STOP. We have scheduled a special Trustees meeting in December to explore these questions.

We have had some honest conversations already and recognised that if other younger potential Trustees believe they are could contribute by serving FKC they should be encouraged to apply.

Secondly we are aware of the need to be organised both here in the UK and in Kenya in a manner which meets the standards of Governance which is demanded by the UK Charity Commission and the educational authorities. This means particularly that Champions will have to have a strong independent Governing body. The existing informal arrangements have been great for the past as the school has developed, but as we grow and pressures mounts on all schools, we need to protect all the students, staff and Director from malicious criticism and complaints, by providing comprehensive independent strategic direction. So we are insisting that Kenneth and William, who are tremendous assets for us all, recruit independent Governors from the local community to support them and the teachers for the future. We will keep you updated as this recruitment project progresses.

Finally I just want to conclude these remarks by thanking God for the blessing which Champions has been for so many young people so far. We have seen this tonight in the snapshot cameos which Sandra has shared with us. Then to express confidence in the future for FKC as we can envision so much more potential to change the lives of many more young people.

What a privilege to be involved with this work, as we all are.

Report to the Trustees of Friends of Kenya's Children Introduction I have examined the accounts of Friends of Kenya's Children for the year st ended 31 May 2021 as an independent examiner, and have compared the accounts prepared for the Annual General Meeting with the financial records kept for that year by the charity's Treasurer on behalf of the Trustees. Basis of independent examiner's report My examination includes a review of the accounting systems and records and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items in the accounts, or concerns regarding systems, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. Independent examinerfs ststement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which causes me to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep appropriate accounting records to have robust systems in place for the management of finances, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records has not been met.
