It is estimated that less than 1 % of the 3 million people in Kenya living with mental disabilities, receive an education. The Trust's aim is help these 'forgotten' children receive specialist education and support within a regular school environment. TAR 20
During the course of the financial year Kivuli Trust fundraised to provide pastoral care for the children boarding at the Gilgil Special School in Gilgil, Kenya. Funds raised went towards: Providing 3 meals a day for the children residing in both hostels, plus 1 meal a day for the day-children from the Gilgil Special School Paying the salaries of 15 staff - hostel manager, assistant hostel manager, accountant, carers, cooks, physiotherapist & security guards Maintenance & painting of both hostels The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit in the Trustee meetings.

Section D Achievements and performance Summary ofthe maln achlevements of the charlty during the year We are sad to report that Paula Pape, who was the spirit and energy behind the establishment of the Gilgil Special School, passed away on 15th April 2023. The Trustees of Kivuli Trust are committed to continuing the work of the Trust, in her name. This year Kivuli Trust raised £39,776 through fundraising initiatives to help fund the annual operation of the 2 hostels. The 2 hostels provide safe, secure accommodation for 68 vulnerable children, enabling them to learn essential life skills and to attend the Gilgil Special School. These children receive an education and a chance in life. Rather than being hidden away and abused, they become accepted by their families and the wider community. The positive and sustainable impact this has on attitudes to disability is profound. This flagship project remains a 'Centre of Excellence, (as declared by the Kenyan Government), and an example of how disabled children, given the right support, can be given a worthwhile education. During the year, we paid the salaries of the 16 staff employed at the hostels- manager, assistant manager, accountant, carers, cooks, security guards and groundsmen. The hostels accommodated the more vulnerable children, providing them with full pastoral care, clean water and three meals a day. However, the kitchen also provided hot, nutritious lunches for all the day children from the Gilgil Special School, as well as the boarders- a total of c. 125 children. Throughout the year we ran a physiotherapy programme. Peter, our physiotherapist, spent 5 days a week with more than 10 of the children who have physical disabilities requiring exercise and treatment. It is excellent to see the physical progress the children are making. In Kenya, we had previously upgraded the local operating entity from a Self-help Group to a Community Based Organisation (CBO). This entity is responsible for receiving funds from Kivuli Trust (UK) and distributing them (paying staff, paying costs, arranging renovation works etc.) It was the first full year of operation, with a structured AGM taking place in February 2024. A reverse osmosis (RO) water filtration system was installed in February 2024 to ensure that the bore-hole water was de-salinated and purified for drinking. An elevated water tank was also installed in order to hold the purified water and gravity feed it to the kitchen. Similarly, a new soak away pit was constructed to receive grey water from the kitchen, including the installation of a grease trap. Solar powered security lighting was also installed. 2 carerfs rooms were added to the Boys Hostel (partitioned within the boys dormitory). This allows for quicker response times to any issues that need attention during the night. Lastly, we undertook substantial renovation works to ensure that the hostels, dining room, kitchen and physio room, remain in very good condition. In November 2023 12 children from the Gilgil Special School were chosen to be part of the Govt pilot scheme for National Exams for children with Special Needs. We are pleased with the recognition.
