the charity as set out in its

living in poverty in Nepal, especially
orphans living in the Glorious Mission and
Himalayan Foundation orphanages (now
renamed the Hope for Children Hostel PVT
Ltd and the Trinity Hostel PVT Ltd
respectively). To advance the education
and health of those orphans, by providing
funding for their education, further
education, a healthy and sustaining diet
and their medical fees. To advance the
Christian religion in Nepal for the benefit of
the public through the provision of places of
worship and help for those in church
ministry.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or

1.19|During the year the charity continued to
send quarterly payments of money to the
Hope for Children Hostel (HCH) and Trinity
Hostel (TH) to pay for the accommodation,
food, educational and health needs of the
children.
Financially we managed to maintain our
regular payments sending £9,880 to the
HCH and £11,700 to the TH in 2022/23.
There have been special fund-raising
efforts with a Christmas Appeal in Harwood
raising £1,000 and a sponsored Camino
Walk raising £2,000.
In April, the Chairman visited both Hostels
in Nepal and was able to establish that they
continue to provide safe and well-run
environments for the children. He
discovered that toilets previously provided
by the charity for refugees associated with
a church in Hetauda, which we support,
needed repair and additions. An appeal
raised £6785 to pay for this.| ||||| |---|---|---|---| |Statement confirming

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The Charity had an income of £28,215 and
expenditure of £29,001, resulting in a deficit
of £785 for the year 2022/23.

This amount is included in the balance held
at the bank at the year-end (£6,542).
Our income relies on the donations which
fluctuate through the year. To have a
reserve enables the charity to maintain
essential payments and meet occasional
requests for urgent additional payments.| |Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|Not applicable| |Details of fund materially in
deficit|Para 1.24|Not applicable| |Explanation of any
uncertainties about the

concern|Para 1.23|The charity relies primarily on the voluntary
donations of committed supporters and
other members of the public.
Whilst uncertainty is inherent in relying on
voluntary donations, the donations to this| charity have continued for 15 years and remained sufficient to enable us to operate successfully as a going concern. ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: The charity’s principal sources of funds (including Para 1.47 any fundraising) Investment policy and objectives including any Para 1.46 social investment policy adopted A description of the principal Para 1.46 risks facing the charity Other ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
