It is very important for the proposed candidates to go through induction and mentorship guidelines to fully understand the requirements of the Trust and Trustees. ## **Activities and Objectives** Through the support and encouragement of our supporters and donors, our school has grown exponentially and has achieved major milestones this year. We have completed the construction of our sports facility, purchased seven acres of land for a community based sustainable regenerative seed/ teaching farm project which will commence in January 2026. We received our Tax Exemption Certificate for a further five tears and have excelled in curricular and extracurricular activities as shared below: - As a result of the new sports facility, we successfully hosted interschool competitions - The sports facility is also available to the local and larger community at no cost - The school participated in the Kenya Music Festival for the first time advancing to regional level - A team of our girls competed in the regional athletics and qualified for the sub-county level - In the sub-county assessments, our school ranked 7th out of 107 schools. Additionally, Husna Siaba ranked 2nd in the entire sub-county in Term 2 and achieved the position of first girl overall - Four of our girls took part in a chess competition, and one of them brought home a medal - We planted over 1,000 endangered indigenous trees, some of them critically endangered, as part of our environmental conservation programme - One of our students, Dzame, was selected by the Kenya Rugby Union to represent the Coastal Region—an exciting achievement and a testament to the diverse talents within our school None of these achievements would have been possible without the unwavering support and commitment of our sponsors, donors and the TEAM. The Trust has committed to constructing a further three classrooms to cover Senior Secondary School Grades 10 to 12. Construction will commence in 2026 in readiness for the first transition from Grade 9 in 2026. Page 3 of 4 **Financial review, Debts and Reserves Policy** The financial year ended 30[th] September 2025 was the most difficult year in the history of the Trust. Our Kenya Tax Exemption expired on 30[th] September, 2024 and it was not renewed, through no fault of the Trust, until late September 2025. Not having Kenya Tax Exemption Status cost us, in terms of Kenya company donations, resulting in heavy losses for the first time in the history of the Trust. Now that Kenya Tax Exemption has been restored we are back on track and running at a surplus. The Trustees confirm that the Trust does not have any debts. All projects and commitments are paid for in full upon presentation of accounts. The policy of the Trust is to try and have cash reserves to cover three months running costs at any one time. As will be seen from the Audited Financial Statements to 30[th] September, 2025 this was the only reason we survived. As Trustees, we are happy to report that as of 30[th] November, 2025 we now have more than three months cash reserves to cover running costs. In addition, we are in the process of finalizing our “Succession Plan”, drawing up the legal documentation and Management Structure with the intention that the New Team commence work with effect January, 2026. We are happy to report that between donations and committed donations the New Team have managed to raise an additional GB Pounds 30,000. This puts the Charity in a strong financial position moving forward. It is our aim to work on a fund to cover two years of running expenses going forward. We are also able to confirm that the Founding Trustees will continue ad infinitum and work hand in hand with the new Trustees. ## **Pension Scheme** The Trust has entered into a Compulsory Defined Contribution Pension Scheme with ICEA Lion Life Assurance Company Limited. Employee contributions of 5% are matched by the Trust. ## **Funds held as a custodian trustee** We confirm that there are no funds held as custodian Trustees. We are also able to confirm that all funds of the Trust are held by what are termed as “First Tier Banks, thereby minimizing risk of losses.

In our opinion the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the trust as at 30th September, 2025 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities and the requirements of the Kenyan Companies Act 2015. ## **Basis for opinion** We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the _Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements_ section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the _International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants 'Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code)_ together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Kenya, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. ## **Other Information** The trustees are responsible for the other information. Other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. ## **Trustees' responsibility for the financial statements** The trustees are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities and the requirements of the Kenyan Companies Act, 2015, and such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the trust's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the trust or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. ## **Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatements when it exists. Misstatement can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, hey could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements ## _**Kenya Kesho Trust**_ ## _**Report of the independent auditors to the members of Kenya Kesho Trust**_ ## _**For the year ended 30th September, 2025**_ 4 (b) of 9 As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: . Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control. . Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. . Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. . Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the trust to cease to continue as a going concern. . Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements present the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. ## **Report on other matters prescribed by the Kenya Companies Act, 2015** In our opinion the information given in the report of the directors on page 2 is consistent with the financial statements The engagement partner responsible for the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is CPA Marclus Mugoh Kamau Practicing Certificate No. P/2576 **Marclus Kamau Certified Public Accountant For Wambugu Marclus & Associates** **Mombasa………………………………….. 2025** _**UPHL Building - Ground Floor, Mikindani Street P.
