Give Hope Ethiopia is honoured to present this annual progress report to Give Hope Trust, covering the period from April 2025 to March 31, 2026. We extend our sincere appreciation for your unwavering partnership and commitment to transforming the lives of vulnerable children through education and holistic care. During the reporting period, Give Hope Trust supported 71 children enrolled in our sponsorship program across the Yeka, Tafo, and Yerer project sites. Your generous support has enabled these children to access essential services that promote their educational success, health, personal development, and overall well-being. 

The major interventions implemented during the reporting period are summarized below. Atlantic

## Nutrition and Sanitation Support 

Ensuring that children are healthy and able to learn effectively remained a key priority throughout the year. Give Hope Ethiopia provided monthly nutritional support to all sponsored beneficiaries, helping improve food security and contributing to their physical growth, school attendance, and academic performance. In addition, quarterly sanitation support was provided to every beneficiary. Hygiene materials supplied through the project helped children maintain proper personal hygiene, reduce health risks, and create a healthier learning environment. These regular interventions continue to play an important role in enhancing the overall wellbeing and dignity of the children and their families.

## Education Support 

Education remains central to Give Hope Ethiopia's child sponsorship program. With support from Give Hope Trust, 71 sponsored children in the Yeka, Tafo, and Yerer project sites received educational assistance to improve attendance and learning outcomes. At the start of the 2025/26 academic year, all sponsored children received school supplies such as bags, exercise books, pens, pencils, and mathematical sets, helping reduce the financial burden on caregivers and ensuring children were ready for school. Give Hope Ethiopia also organized Saturday tutorial classes during the reporting period to provide extra academic support in key subjects. These sessions helped children strengthen classroom learning, close learning gaps, prepare for exams, and build confidence. 


Summer Camp and Child Development Program 

The annual Summer Camp provided sponsored children with a safe and enriching environment during the school vacation, promoting creativity, self-confidence, teamwork, and social development. Through recreational activities and hands-on training delivered by internal and external facilitators, children acquired practical skills in handicrafts, including thread work, knitting, handbag making, hair accessories, ribbon crafts, and decorative cement pot production. The program concluded with a Handicraft Bazaar, where children showcased and sold their products. More than 50 participants earned income by receiving 50% of the sales proceeds from their handmade items, strengthening their entrepreneurial skills, financial awareness, and confidence while fostering personal growth and resilience.

# **Give Hope Trust 2024 Annual Report Charity Number 1122867** 


**GIVE HOPE TRUST** is a Christian charity set up to support deprived communities focusing on children worldwide. It is headed up by its chairman Martin Zuch, who initially had the vision for this charity. Our work focuses on children's education, adult training, medical care, Christian pastoral care and creation of sustainable social enterprises, mainly covering Ethiopia and Zambia, and to a lesser extent, Kenya and Malawi. 

Our thanks go to Martin, for his vision to see children having opportunities to grow and develop in life. He has been an inspiration to many of us as we seek to support those children. And our thanks go to all those who are directly delivering programmed opportunities and education. We thank God for you all. 

We hope you enjoyed reading the report from Ethiopia. Please continue to read next about Zambia and Kenya. Thank you.

## **LUYANDO COMMUNITY SCHOOL ANNUAL REPORT 2026** 

With an enrolment of 353 children, 172 boys and 181 girls, Luyando Community school continues to offer holistic education to the children of Kamafwesa Village and surrounding areas. 

STAFFING: We have 10 teaching staff and 2 support staff. 

Teaching Staff – 5 females 

- Ms. Meldreen Shacisozi handling the ECE and is a senior teacher 

- Ms. Grace Situmbeko handling ECE 

- Ms. Sandra Kalaluka handling Gr 1 

- Ms. Mwamba Mutale handling Gr2 

- Mr. Oscar Nkandu handling Gr 3 

- Mr. Jackson Chisenga handling Gr 4 

- Mr. Mwila Chiwaya handling Gr 5 

- Mr. Alex Chingandu handling Gr 6 and is a senior teacher 

- Mr. Muleya Himweemba handling Gr 7 

Support Staff – 2 males 

- Mr. Allan Changwe 

- Mr. Nicholas Musonda 



From 2023 we had a government deployed teacher, Ms. Hideness Mweemba, who took up grade 1. She served the children very well and built strong bonds with the parents and the community leadership. Her journey with us came to an end as we closed term 2 of 2026 when she was transferred to a government school nearer to her home. Teacher Sandra Kalaluka, who is currently on maternity leave, returns in term 3 2026 and will take up grade 1 while Mr Jackson Chisenga will continue with the grade 4 class. 

ACTIVITIES: With the feeding program in full force, we had the challenge of constructing a feeding structure for the children. It stands at 70% currently. It was meant to be a structure constructed by the parents, but it ended up being our baby. The parents came in with initial basic supplies, and we did 90% of the current works while we are committed to ensure the structure is completed before term 3 resumes. 

FEEDING PROGRAM: The government added Ndola district to the national feeding program and so in June 2026 we, being part of the primary schools in Ndola, received eighteen 50kg bags of maize, two 50kg bags of beans and one 50kg bag of groundnuts meant to last for three months. We of course milled the maize into samp for easy cooking since no parents, as required by the program, were coming to help with the cooking. None were ready to work voluntarily but expected some financial reward at the end of each month served. We are hoping the feeding supplies will be given before term three begins. We have had to buy other cooking supplies on our own like salt, sugar and cooking oil. We are hoping the government can provide these as they are doing in other districts. School attendance has greatly improved since the children know there is a meal each day. 

LITERACY LEVELS: Learner performance has been at the pinnacle of our monitoring schedule. Literacy still remains a concern in all the grades. Yes, breakthroughs are there and there is light at the end of the tunnel, but I still know more can be done. Grade 4 has been upgraded to upper section of the school, and the literacy levels are worrying and so to alleviate this we have agreed to concentrate on literacy and numeracy the first month of term three then evaluate before normalizing. 

EXAMINATIONS: The Grade 7’s have had to take district set mid-term assessments and mock examinations. We still have the same 8 learners not performing well in both assessments. It all falls back to literacy skills. As a team we have decided to have the eight undergo some literacy enhancement sessions the first three weeks of term three. Absenteeism among the 8 is also a source of concern. Keeping them away from the fishing and the night life is a task that’s not too encouraging as it seems more one sided with very little or no effort from their parents and guardians. We shall not give up! 

MAINTENANCE WORKS: Maintenance is ongoing , we have been sorting out mostly plumbing works this year. As for electricals - the earthing works which stalled have begun with three of the four locations needing earthing yet to be done.  Burglar bars and a grill door have been put in one big room being used as a classroom for grade 2 to reduce on afternoon classes and we are trusting God to put burglar bars in all the classrooms. The ECE play area is broken down and needs a lot of rehabilitation works. One staff house with a family of five needs a total overhaul as it has no toilet or bathroom facilities and the roof leaks badly during the rainy season. 

PRODUCTION UNIT: We have vegetables in our production unit area which the learners have had meals cooked already. It is encouraging to see them watering each day. We have been thinking of having drip irrigation at some point to prevent water wastage and to direct the labour time to other activities. 



The bee hives are doing well and finally all the hives have bees in them. The only concern is the harvest which was last done middle of 2025. We are hoping the harvest can be done before the bees consume their honey again. 

SECURITY: We are still praying for a fence around the premises to deter trespassers at awkward hours. 

We remain grateful to all the generous supporters worldwide who give to ensure a child as vulnerable as ours receives the much-needed education. Thank you so much and may Abba Bless you abundantly.

## **KENYA** 

Thanks to the generosity of Greenside Parish and fundraising in the last three years, through coffee mornings organised by Pauline Wilcox from Winlaton Parish, we hope to help provide school uniforms and shoes for 53 primary aged children again later this year. It makes a huge difference for the whole school, especially when comparing the shoes and clothing previously worn by the children. 

In addition to that, Pauline has collected £40 a month to cover lunches, from 40 people at Winlaton Parish, as many children were arriving at school without any food to eat at lunchtime. The £40 stretches to cover a whole month! However, several people have died in Winlaton parish and so whilst Pauline was going to put the lunch money in for now, only this week a 90 year old lady has volunteered to contribute £10 a month. 

Meanwhile, Mike and I, together with Pauline and David, have been separately covering the costs of two siblings we met during our visit to Covenant Lilies in 2024, Mary & Nicholas, who were then unable to afford to go on to secondary school. (Their single parent mother in in accommodation that costs £9 a month, which is difficult for her to meet each month). 

The three years of secondary school education that we have promised to support, has included buying each of the two children a Bible, desk, chair, broom, stationary, pens, text books, uniform, shoes, transport, a school outing and tuition fees, which will come to an end in December 2027. Therefore in January 2028, for another year, we will continue in our monthly support, switching it to pay for lunch provision. 

May I also share that a Greenside Parish member sacrificially contributes £5 a month towards Covenant Lilies and is in regular contact with their leader, Carol Wanyama. 

As always, things change. In August we funded a gas cylinder and a small stove for cooking, for £27, of a type used by many schools and small restaurants in Uthiru, to enable lunches to be cooked on site, and so save a little to make the money stretch further for the purchase of food. (Please see the photos below). Upward and Onward!
