Education for All provides accommodation for girls from remote communities in the High Atlas Mountains which enables them to attend the State secondary schools in Asni, Ouirgane and Tlat-n-Yacoub. Our 6 boarding houses provide a safe, comfortable and well-resourced learning environment in which the girls live and study, supported by a house-mother, cooks and cleaner. Their learning is also supported by international volunteers who help the girls with their studies and extra-curricular activities.

EFA continues to grow its corporate sponsorship with many new, small businesses coming on board and making regular donations, and sustaining longer-term relationships as well with PURE, AMAZ Sneakers Kahina Beauty and Sugar Mat.
-
EFA also continues to be supported through well-being retreats in Morocco with partners including Renovad, Souljourn Yoga and Tonic Retreats.

We hope corporate support grows and that our registration with Benevity also introduces EFA to more companies in the future.
Impact of Covid 19 on Operations
-
2021 was not business as usual, with volunteers still unable to go to Morocco due to travel restrictions.
-
Our travel partners were unable to make usual donations due to lack of business (Intrepid Travel and Pure). - We also had to cancel some fundraising trips and a Fundraising Gala which was connected to the Marrakech Book Fair
-
We hope that 2022 will open Morocco's borders so we can welcome volunteers, visitors and pick up on our corporate sponsorship plans.

Internal and external factors
EFA has been pleased with its performance of raising funds in 2021. EFA has many regular donors and their support continues and these donations are helped by our supporters being kept abreast of EFA work through regular newsletters and an increased social media presence. We look forward to travel opening up in 2022 and corporate funds increasing as a result.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Covid-19
The charity was affected by the impacts of COVID-19 throughout the year, with donations falling due to the decline in tourism and travel.
However, the charity did not need to make use of the government furlough scheme, nor the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme.
Thus the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
