SDjan …………………………………………………… 14 Registered Company No: 05968235 (England and Wales) Registered Charity Number: 118180 ## **Susie Djan – Director (Trustee). 27[th] January 2021** ## **KIDCARE INTERNATIONAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** ## **1. UK Report** 2020-2021 has been another year of stress, anxiety, depression, loss and suffering for many in the UK and abroad. In the countries that Kidcare works in, although not as many deaths as in the UK, many people lost their means of livelihood and many faced hunger, some starvation and homelessness. In 2020- 2021, Kidcare launched its appeals via social media. Unfortunately, this was not very successful this year. Kidcare like other charities has been challenged by not being able to undertake any public fundraising programs. Donations have come continued from our faithful sponsors. Though a few regular sponsors stopped their sponsorship due to redundancy and the effects of the coronavirus on the economy. Kidcare celebrated 22 years of its work in April 2021. During many months of this financial year, our offices were closed. However our office work continued from our homes. On the whole financially, we have done relatively well due to generous donations from a faithful few. Also the Gift Aid came in extremely useful in keeping regular work we fund such as teachers allowances, school fees and our projects going. **Our Work abroad in Uganda** 15 Registered Company No: 05968235 (England and Wales) Registered Charity Number: 118180 ## **a. In Kidcare Alpha Boluwero** - b. **True Vine Kidcare Buwenge.** - c. **Lubya Community Primary school** - d. **Kidcare Children’s Home** In 2020-21, donations were given by Kidcare to assist in feeding poor children and families which helped many in their community and more so through the Corona virus pandemic. Many had no food to eat since the pandemic started. Thanks to Kidcare, parcels of food were given to over 200 families in their communities. Among the families fed were: - -Families of our pupils - -People infected with HIV/AIDS who could no-longer take their HIV antiretroviral treatment due to lack of food to eat. - -Elderly people who could not access food. - -Orphans and widows - -Several people with disabilities - -Some of the teachers in the school who were struggling financially Even though the government directed that schools close from March 2020, through Kidcare’s support and encouragement these schools continued to support the children’s education. The schools organized educational materials which children could come and collect from school. ## **KIDCARE INTERNATIONAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** They came, one by one in order to observe the distancing rules. They would then bring their work back for marking and further guidance by the teachers. On many occasions, teachers would take work to pupils in their homes. In all this, they observed COVID rules. Because of Kidcare’s support the school stayed opened to assist the poor in our community. **The KEEP (Kidcare Economic Empowerment Project)** started in 2016 in the villages of Namwendwa Parish in Kamuli and Kibbeto in Kangulumira. These are villages in the Eastern Region of Uganda. By 2019, Kidcare supported forty beneficiaries. Kidcare continued its support of this program by giving Covid 19 relief support during this period which assisted many in crisis during this time. **The Children in the Kidcare children’s home** were taken care of throughout the pandemic period in Uganda. Tutors were hired to give them some educational support at home. 16 Registered Company No: 05968235 (England and Wales) Registered Charity Number: 118180 ## **Kenya a. Dama Education Centre b. Grace Learning Centre** The Support from Kidcare International has been the lifeline of the Dama Education Centre and Grace Learning Centre throughout the pandemic and when schools re-opened. With so many schools reportedly shut down and completely unable to resume services, it is a miracle that our school could reopen after the lock down and offer some services to the children and the community. Kidcare continued to fund all the teachers allowances during this period of national lock down. Teachers were able to keep their families fed, rents paid, medication and bills sorted out knowing they could rely on the support of Kidcare during this period. Kidcare continued with the funding of food parcels to the needy in both school’s communities. ## **Ghana, Shiloh Kidcare Centre. Report by Pastor Jacob and Gloria Bonney** Kidcare continued to support this school. The Main focus of teaching and learning was: Mathematics, English and French with an introduction of Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning for class Three to Five. Morning breakfast was supplied for many more of the children who came to school without eating breakfast from home. The building work of on the land purchased by Kidcare continued. The building work on the foundation of the school took most part of this financial year. The pillars were later set up and block laying begun. on the 21st November 2020. ## **KIDCARE INTERNATIONAL STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** |**Unrestricted**|**Unrestricted**|**Restricted**|**Total**|**Total**| |---|---|---|---|---| ||**Funds**|**Funds**|**2021**|**2020**| |**Notes**|**£**|**£**|**£**|**£**| |**INCOMING RESOURCES**||||| |**Incoming resources from generated**|**funds**|||| 17 Registered Company No: 05968235 (England and Wales) Registered Charity Number: 118180 |Voluntary income||81,806|13,459|95,265103,248|95,265103,248| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |Investment income – bank interest|||16|-|16| ||45||||| ||––––––||––––––|––––––|––––––| |||81,822|13,459|95,281103,293|| ||––––––||––––––|––––––|––––––| |**RESOURCES EXPENDED**|||||| |**Charitable activities**|||||| |Sponsorships|**3**|-|34,735|34,735|24,585| |Mission expenses and projects||16,377|-|16,377|81,827| |Fundraising Costs||777|-|777|5,085| |Other costs|**4**|25,542|-|25,542|14,038| ||––––––||––––––|––––––|––––––| |||42,696|34,735|77,431125,535|| ||––––––||––––––|––––––|––––––| |**NET INCOME/(EXPENDITURE) FOR YEAR**||39,126|(21,276)|17,850|| ||(22,242)||||| |**RECONCILIATION OF FUNDS**|||||| |Transfer of Funds
