## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT** 

The charity presents its annual report for the year ending 31[st] March 2025. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT** 

- The executive committee comprises five Directors who are Trustees of Asecondchance prepare a report, which is shared amongst them as they share responsibilities for the day-to-day management of the Charity. 

- No new directors were recruited during the year. 

- The directors have a broad range of backgrounds that contribute significantly to the work and programming of Asecondchance’s work globally. 

## **GOVERNING INSTRUMENT** 

The charity was established under a Memorandum of Association established in January 2009 and s registered as a charity as well. The objects and powers of the charity and company are governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 

## **OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES** 

Asecondchance aims to achieve lasting change in the lives of children and their families living in poverty in developing countries, through processes that are participatory and inclusive of the marginalised groups and communities. AC has one strategic goal and five strategic objectives. 

## **Strategic Goal** 

To improve the quality of life for marginalised women and children by promoting their right to survival, health, and development. 

## **Strategic Objectives** 

To focus on issues affecting women and girls, we reviewed our strategic objectives building on the lessons learned over the years and our comparative advantage in terms of existing capacities amongst the trustees and volunteers. 

- Maternal and Child Health - Improve the provision of maternal and child health services for marginalised women and girls in East Africa. 

- Education and Safer Environments for Children - Promote quality education, life skills and a safe environment for children with special attention to vulnerable children and girls. 

- Prevention of Violence against Women and Girls - Reduce the prevalence and incidence of abuse and violence against women and girls in targeted communities. 

- Economic Development and Sustainable livelihoods - Promote the economic and social development of young women, especially teenage mothers, and adolescents, leading to sustainable livelihoods. 

5 



- Institutional Capacity Development for AC and its Partners - Strengthen the capabilities of AC and partners to facilitate the delivery of quality women's and children’s rights and development interventions across East Africa. 

## **Highlights on projects delivered** 

## **a) Education** 

Education remains the most effective empowerment process for marginalised children. Education package including uniforms remains a central intervention to keep children in school. Provision of education package remains a continuous activity in our programming. Essential education packages for girls include stationery, school uniform, bag etc. 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
                       Children in new uniforms and bags<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


**Sample of initial state** 

The 450 young mothers drawn from the 18 Care Groups (CG) participated in identifying 400 children who were provided with a pair of school uniform each bringing the total number of children supported through the CGs to 850 

this being 17 children above the projected 823. Frequent home visits to encourage school attendance and psychological support by CG members spearheaded by the project volunteers based within the groups provided increased hope and encouragement among the supported children and their caregivers. The uniform support and the visits are the main reasons regular school attendance among the children supported by the project stands at 90% from the initial 20% while  random spot checks conducted in respective schools indicate that performances among the same children stand at around 75% from 25%. 

## **b) Economic Empowerment** 

Under the initiative of Better Economic Livelihood and income opportunities of Young (BECOM) , the following were realised. 

- i) **Construction of the agro-processing facility** 

6 



To actualise the value addition activities, the recompleted the construction of the agro-processing facility. The facility has different options for various crops. 

## **ii) Agro Processing equipment** 

Equipment for peanut butter processing and potato crisps were purchased and training for selected women conducted, and participants realised their potential in production of value addition crops. As the training progresses, women carried practical steps involving potato planting sessions, ground nut preparation for

**Training on groundnuts preparation                        Training on peanut production using a small machine .** 

peanut production and actual processing of butter. 

After the first training on value addition on potatoes, one of the participants, Jane, had this to say, 

“ I have never thought beyond selling boiled potatoes to students in our village school. I have always believed that potatoes are to be cooked and eaten from home. With this training, I have woken up. I will only sell few potatoes to children at school. I will concentrate and ensure that I supply enough potatoes for crips production. That will increase my income and there will be no wastage. This is the best thing that this project has brought us. If we can make money when seated at home, peace in our homes will improve. I am now going to increase the land under potatoes. I will not bother my husband for support, but I will convince him 

**One of the installed equipment for processing potatoes** 

to have a shop to sell potato crisps. I am very happy with this project.” 

## _**iii)    Processing, marketing and savings and loan groups**_ 

The following testimony from one of the beneficiaries captures the achievement the project had made in processing, marketing and initiation of savings and loan groups. 

7 



Veronica Angela is 33 years old from Inuka care group. She is married and blessed with four children. Her land portion is approximately one acre and farming does activities based on approximately three quarters of an acre and the rest is occupied by her homestead. The crops include maize, beans, groundnuts, sweet potatoes and vegetables. Veronica has been a member of Inuka since a group member from her village visited her and engaged her in a discussion that enabled her to enrol in the group. 

**Veronica Angela small holder farmer processing** 

Veronica is playing important roles in 

ensuring the members are united and work as a team. This has resulted from the engagement in various trainings and group activities such as table banking, savings, welfare activities as well as production of sweet potatoes. She has been playing important roles in ensuring there is unity and teamwork within the group. 

In summary, Veronica noted, “ _Attending training on agro processing, marketing and value addition enabled me to start a peanut butter business of 4kgs groundnuts with Ksh 300 (GBP 2.00) from my group savings in December 2023, raising Ksh 3,000 (GBP 20.00) making a profit of ksh 2,400 (GBP16.00). The expenditure per 2kgs groundnuts is ksh 300 (GBP 2.00) basically for plastic containers and power for processing the peanut butter._ 

_The market price per packet plastic container ranges from ksh 150 (GBP1.00) to Ksh 200 (GBP1.34) and the product is exhausted within two to three days. The groundnuts were part of the ones I harvested and stored in my house for future use. The main challenge is that I am not known but I am trying to market my products to reach more customers from various places. The processing of peanut butter has now picked up and now peanut butter is now processed twice to thrice in a week. Part of the interest accrued was used to meet scholastic materials to my school going children and major basic needs in my house and relieved to other minor expenditures in my home. The nearest market to this beneficiary is Malaha market which is a kilometre away from home.  I am willing to engage my business in making crisps, crackles, doughnuts and other products from sweet potatoes immediately I procure scrappers and the Noddle machine that I am planning for._ 

_The project staff were supportive at disseminating information to my group members and the entire community which is helping me do my business. I promise to expand my business to get more income and reach more clients and appeal to other my fellow young mothers to be committed and take up the peanut butter business for economic empowerment._ 

_The intervention has been dramatic and more significant to the young mothers. The education and knowledge have helped young women to initiate more income generating activities and changed the life of the beneficiary. The knowledge has helped me to venture into business and is able to survive”._ 

## **a) Project Replication** 

So far, the community members have learned from the progress made by the targeted beneficiaries and are engaged in the production and processing of value-added products. This was amplified by the participation of COT, implementing partner, in the County Agricultural Show that happens annually and the products from the women participating in the project attracted many people.

## **Financial Review** 

The key financial statements to be read in conjunction with this financial review are statements of Financial Activities on page 10, the balance Sheet on page 11 and notes on pages 12 to 15. 

Total incoming resources in cash were £9,000, previous year £35,537. The philanthropic contribution from trustees and friends of AC was significant and has been considered under technical and administrative support to the charity and partners. This silent contribution is the motivation for AC’s growth and has continued to play a major role.  Voluntary service by the Executive Director created the much-needed hours to manage operations, including adherence to statutory requirements and filing of returns thus minimising administrative costs. This technical support is very instrumental in enhancing the capacities of our partner in Kenya to efficiently mobilise resources from in country streams. Trustees believe that is a course worth their personal sacrifice.

|Restricted funds|3,248|-2,241||1007|
|**Total**|**4,802**|**-2,106**||**2,696**|



During this period no  foreign currency was remitted directly to fund projects. From  the total cash income received by 31[st] March 2025.  The activities covered by UK office included field/support visits to partners. In addition, contribution in kind and cash totalled **£63,440** was spent on charitable activities, compared to **£68,835** the previous year, as direct professional contribution by trustees, management, and well-wishers. 

In summary, of the **£74,180** expenditure incurred in the year, over 99% was on charitable activities thus keeping our vision of spending over 95% on charitable activities. The efficient utilisation of volunteer students played a major role in this success. 

## **Risk Review** 

The directors continue to keep a risk register and have identified major risks to the charity. The most severe risk to Asecondchance is that it continues to depend on directors for management and voluntary services for operations.  To mitigate these risks, Asecondchance embarked on an ambitious plan to prepare four partners in Kenya to bid for institutional grants by collecting data, preparing concept notes and enhancing their  institutional capacity by training and working together as mentorship. 

Continuous reduction in funding streams has challenged Asecondchance to provide technical support to partners to engage in fundraising activities by utilising opportunities for agriculture, skills training and value addition initiatives 

## **Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities** 

Charity law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS** 

Report to the Directors of Asecond Chance LTD on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 25 set out on pages 12 to 18. 

## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER** 

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section  144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act), and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT** 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: 

- proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Act); and 

- accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting 

- ● requirements of the Act; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
