| Summary | of | Achievements against 2020/21 Targets: |
Achievements against 2020/21 Targets: |
Achievements against 2020/21 Targets: |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Target 1:Support the education, wellbeing, and learning opportunities of children |
|||||
| in Hounslow. | Target for 2021 was 170 children for tuition and 70 families |
for | |||
| emergency | support | ||||
| Achievements | Riana Development Network education and family support program |
||||
| grew significantly in 2020/21. We continued to develop supplementary |
|||||
| support programming in Hounslow, Hammersmith and Fulham |
and | ||||
| strengthened our family support system. |
|||||
| We continued to offer extra educational support and well-being |
to | ||||
| children and vulnerable members of the community in the London |
|||||
| borough of Hounslow. The following results were achieved through |
the | ||||
| supplementary school programme this year: |
|||||
| o | 180 (target was 170) children accessed additional support |
in | |||
| Maths, English and Science | |||||
| o | 300 (target was 70 families received emergency food and goods |
||||
| from In-kind Direct, BBC Emergency Essential services, Food |
|||||
| share and Giving World following needs assessment. |
|||||
| Target 2: | Life | skills | and Youth Mentoring: | ||
| Achievements | o Advocating for the mentorship programmes for young people |
for | |||
| them to participate in community action projects and take |
up | ||||
| leadership roles. |
|||||
| o Increased the number of young people attending the life skills |
|||||
| programme and developing personal leadership skills. |
|||||
| o Improved collaborative work with Jack Petchey Foundation |
and | ||||
| London Borough of Hounslow that supported over 200 young |
|||||
| people. | |||||
| Target 3:Health Programme: Target was for 6 Meetings per year |
|||||
| Achievements | o | 6 meetings were held with relevant local government authorities |
|||
| throughout the year to advocate for the recognition ofsexual health |
|||||
| as a priority in the borough and public health concern. |
|||||
| o | A specific meeting was held with the scrutiny board looking at |
the | |||
| health concerns within the borough. |
|||||
| o | Participated in Mayor's Community Health Briefing programme |
in | |||
| partnership with Ealing CVS in which we promoted various health |
|||||
| messages to over 500 people using different platforms. |
|||||
| o | Strengthening Health Awareness project to address issues around |
||||
| HIV and carers ofthose livin with other ion term health conditions. |
|||||
| Target 4: | Conservation and Nature Programme: Target additional 3schools |
||||
| Achievements | o | Expansion of Nature, environmental and outdoor learning |
|||
| programme in 3 additional. |
|||||
| o | 7 young people volunteered over 80- hours to clear and fence |
the | |||
| allotment which was unintended outcome. |
|||||
| o | Maintenance of community allotment and nature reserve area at |
||||
| Waye Avenue in Cranford. |
| Target 5:Food | Security and Livelihood: Target 400direct and 1600indirect farmers | Security and Livelihood: Target 400direct and 1600indirect farmers |
|---|---|---|
| Achievements | o | The project "Creating decent employment for youth and women in |
| rural agriculture in Homa Bay, Kenya", funded by UKAID, was |
||
| designed for "improved income generation & decent employment |
||
| opportunities for Youth &Women in Rural Agriculture in Homa Bay, |
||
| Kenya". The target was 400 women and youth, but it achieved 468 |
||
| through collaboration and support from external stakeholders. It |
||
| also impacted 1746 indirect beneficiaries against a target of |
||
| 1600.By the project end, evidence demonstrates that poorly |
||
| functioning subsistence farms were successfully transformed into |
||
| profitable agribusinesses along five key value chains and |
||
| household income increased. Indeed, the average household |
||
| income for participants was KSh 4,220 per month at the start and |
||
| KSh 7,070 at project end, an increment of68%.We carried out a |
||
| baseline survey at the beginning ofthe project and we also kept a |
||
| monthly income log during the duration ofthe project. The average |
||
| monthly income was then taken and compared to the monthly |
||
| income before the start ofthe project resulting in the increment. The |
||
| youth embraced ICTfor Agriculture, using it for research to improve |
||
| their agribusinesses and to understand markets for their produce. |
||
| Diversification between crops and livestock was also an important |
||
| aspect, creating resilience from external shocks. |
||
| o | Feedback from participants emphasises that the training, onsite |
|
| mentoring, provision of land and inputs were invaluable. These |
||
| formed the foundation of their successful agribusiness ventures. |
||
| Access to farming land is a key barrier to women and youth |
||
| participating meaningfully in agriculture. Furthermore, inability to |
||
| afford inputs and poor access to appropriate training present |
||
| another layer of barriers. The project endeavoured to dismantle |
||
| these barriers. | ||
| o | Overall, results demonstrate that the project strategy was sound, |
|
| and that positive transformation is occurring in the participants' |
||
| lives. | ||
| Target 6:Orphaned | and Vulnerable Children (OVC) |
|
| Achievement: | o RDN sourced foreducation bursaries for 15bright orphaned and |
|
| vulnerable children in Ndhiwa Constituency in collaboration with |
||
| RITOF Foundation. This has been extremely beneficial to |
||
| children providing them with opportunity to access education. |
||
| o 15accessed bursaries for secondary education and colleges. |
||
| Target 7:Environment (Int) |
||
| Achievement | o The one-child-one-Tree is a sustainable effort for combating the |
|
| effects of Climate Change. Riana Development Network (RDN) |
||

||
| distributing tree seedlings in partnership with 13Associations of |
||
| local Churches and schools in East Kabuoch location in Ndhiwa |
