2022 Annual Report Charity Registration Number: 1131489
Reflections from the Executive Director
As always, it is a pleasure to address you again. I am happy to share that this year, the fortitude and energy of our team has continued to help our projects grow, despite difficulties that came our way.
Our Ethical Trade Project, opened eight new selling points in Peru and one new virtual channel. This not only gives increases our brand exposure and sales, but also allows us to continue supporting our young people in Ccorca, Huanoquite, and Iquitos with their further education.
Thanks to the tireless work of the Transitions Project team, we were able to develop the Amazon Youth Project in different areas of the El Napo district of the Marañon River Basin and Requena province. In the coming year, we will be offering seven extra scholarships, so that a total of 12 young people from indigenous Amazonian communities can access further education.
This report wouldn’t be complete without mentioning that we are ending the year with mixed emotions.
Given the events of recent months, we think now is the time to raise our voices and make an urgent call to the population and the authorities, to recognise us as one nation, so we can advance together towards a common goal, with respect for everyone's lives and rights. As a charity, we reaffirm our
commitment to staying vigilant to the country’s political situation and continue protecting the welfare of our participants at all times.
We hope that next year, we can reach agreements that are fair and inclusive for all Peruvians and that help us continue advancing as a country.

View from the Chair of Trustees
Having successfully expanded operations beyond Amantani’s hometown of Ccorca to Huanoquite three years ago, Thilo Böck (our Director of Projects) has now led the team to the Peruvian Amazon. In 2021, we ran pilot of our Transitions Project in the Amazonian community of Santa Clotilde, which we developed into our fully-fledged Amazon Youth Project during 2022. A handful of scholarships were awarded to outstanding students from two schools to allow them to continue to further education in Iquitos. It’s immensely rewarding to see the enthusiasm with which Thilo and his team have been received in this remote area of Peru, well over 1000 kilometres from Cusco. Its success will undoubtedly give opportunities to many more young people to follow in their footsteps. Much of the cost of these new initiatives has come from new sources of funding, and we hope this will encourage other donors to support this expansion.
Our Pathways Programme made a very welcome return this year, after two years of pandemic restrictions. We had 30 enthusiastic young people in the first phase of the programme and an active student council. These young people are now about to enter the second phase of the programme, which involves many hours of maths and communication studies.
Our team in Peru has expanded this year to cover new areas of work and to replace certain loyal staff members who have moved on to pastures new. It’s always tough to say farewell to long serving staff members. Both Sara Mitchell and Chris Palfreyman have dedicated many years to the development of Amantani. We are extremely grateful for everything they have achieved and wish them well in their new enterprises. We never take for granted the loyalty shown by all our team. Our Managers and Directors continue to inspire our staff as well as the young people we support in their daily lives. My sincere thanks go to you all.
2022 ends with our young people and staff in good health and spirits with an exciting programme for the year ahead. However, all this is very much thanks to our supporters and generous donors worldwide who continue to amaze us with their generous gifts of time, energy and financial support. Yet again, I send you warm thanks for your continued loyalty.

Pathways Programme
PHASE 1 | JUL - AUG 2022
This year, we carried out the fifth edition of our Pathways Programme. The first phase of the programme ran for 17 days at our campus in Ccorca, during July and August. 30 young people participated in 26 workshops focused on personal development, vocational orientation, and sexual and reproductive health. Additionally, the participants learnt more about how Amantani works and the scholarships that are offered; they also dived into the details of the expectations, commitment, and responsibilities of programme participants, their families, and the Amantani team.
These were the results of 104 hours of work during the first phase:
100% of young people felt that the tutors and other participants in the programme . generated a space where they felt safe and confident

Pathways Programme
PHASE 2 I JAN - FEB 2023
The second phase of the Pathways Programme will take place during January and February 2023. We call this phase “Amantani Academy”. It involves eight hours of daily study, from Monday to Friday: four hours of maths and four hours of language and communication. The young people also discuss their options for further study with their tutors, defining what they want to study and where.
We work with the parents of our young people as well, meeting with them to discuss support whilst their sons and daughters are studying, including lodging, food, health, and basic economic needs related to studying in the city.
Ruth Araceli
Pathways Programme Participant President of the Pathways Programme Student Council
“I have learnt to lead groups of other young people my age. This has helped give me confidence at school, to talk to my teachers and speak in public. It has also helped me to organise my classmates and reach agreements amongst ourselves.”
Emeterio
President of the Parents' Council
“This year, we established good coordination with the Huanoquite Parents’ Council. I also liked that we were part of the enrolment, selection, and acceptance of young people for the new cohort of Pathways Programme participants. We made lots of decisions alongside Amantani.”

Scholarships PROGRAMME
Scholarships Programme
This year, our tutors offered personal and academic support through individual tutoring sessions. At the beginning of the year, we had to continue with online support, but by the end of the year, all tutorials were carried out in-person. Additionally, our students and their tutors organised 12 group recreational activities, including a trip to Machu Picchu.
We continued to work with five young women and one young man who became parents during 2021. Despite facing the challenges of parenthood, these six young people are successfully continuing their studies, thanks to support from their tutors, partners and families.
During the first semester, 10 young people left the programme, a continued knock-on effect of the pandemic. However, in the second semester, our dropout rate reduced from 12% to 4%, in large part thanks to the in-person support of our team.

Her employers were so happy with her work that they offered her a permanent job! Additionally, Yolanda became a member of the Scholarships Programme Student Council this is year. During her time at Amantani, she has developed self-assurance, excellent communication skills and shows strong leadership, especially when helping other young people participate in a variety of activities.

The Council meets once or twice a month to discuss themes related to the needs or requirements of their classmates, coordinate with the team, and discuss cases of other students who are having particular difficulties.
This year, the Council has organised recreational group activities, has been involved in organising and promoting workshops for their fellow students, and has actively supported phase one of the Pathways Programme.

Success Stories
Employability Programme
Now that more of our young people are finishing their studies, we started our Employment Programme this year, to help them find work experience placements and jobs.
This programme includes helping young people elaborate their CVs, running workshops about the world of work and using digital platforms to find jobs, as well as carrying out practice interviews.
We also started our Corporate Volunteering Programme. We work with private and public companies to offer complementary activities and training to our young people, so they can be better prepared to join the workforce. We are thankful to Inkaland Tours, Chamaleon, Cariluis Alpaca, GRTPE, and Florencia and Fortunata Café for their support in this programme.
Our team helped the following young people create their CVs, prepare for the world of work and find the following jobs:

Ethical Trade PROJECT
Ethical Trade Project
The biggest achievement of the Ethical Trade Project this year, was to increase the presence of our products in shops in the Cusco region. For the first time since the beginning of the programme, we now have six points of sale in the city and one in the Sacred Valley. We have also diversified the product range, so our artisans not only create their unique bracelets, but also bag tags and hat bands. At the end of the year, we also carried out a “soft launch” of our new glasses cords, at our Paqari Wayna Youth Hub. We hope to offer this last product to the public in 2023.

We also worked with a branding agency to create a new brand which we will be launching in 2023. The idea is to better position ourselves commercially and fully represent the artisans who are the heart of the project. The artisans were involved throughout the process, including making key decisions about the brand.
One of our goals for next year is to further develop the social branch of the project, offering workshops and talks around subjects of interest to the artisans.

APRIL 2022 TRIP
The first trip of the year made its first stop in the community of Santa Clotilde in the Napo district, where we worked with the student residence at the Lucille Gagne Pellerin School (LUGAPE).
We delved into the subject of developing selfconfidence with the students in the fourth year of secondary school. With fifth year students, we worked on dealing with their doubts and worries about finishing school and noted the concerns they expressed, to elaborate the workshops carried out during our second visit.
We also provided training to tutors, promotors and teachers, to help them carry out their functions within a positive discipline framework. We delivered tutoring sessions around our Children and Young People Protection Policy and worked to establish a culture of protection of young people.
4th year secondary school students participate in group workshops and dynamic activities.

Young Person Spotlight
Paolo is one of the young people who has shown a lot of commitment to his studies during the Amazon Youth Project. Paolo has now completed the second semester of Technical Nursing at the Reyna de las Americas Institute.
During 2022, Paolo lived at the Yout Hub in Iquitos with Rocio and Rider, two other scholarships students. We opened up the Youth Hub in April, to give young people a place to stay during their studies, socialise and study outside classes.
Paolo is one of the young people who has really collaborated with keeping the space clean and tidy and has shown friendship and camaraderie with his housemates. Paolo has also stood out for his ability to manage his personal finances, despite financial challenges. He shows a lot of maturity in his approach to his studies and living situation.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
Report to the trustees of Amantani UK (Charity Reg No 1131489) On accounts for the year ended 31st December 2022.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities 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 Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity 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
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Accounting policies
1.1 Preparation basis
The accounts have been prepared under accruals basis in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 effective 1 January 2015, the Statement of Recommended Practices (SORP) and Charities Act 2011.
1.2 Incoming resources
Voluntary income is recognised as an incoming resource when notification of the income in writing is received. The income from the fundraising activities is shown as revenue, with the incurred costs included in the fundraising cost.
1.3 Resources expended
Governance costs are those incurred through the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. Where possible, costs are allocated directly to the activities to which they relate. Other costs are then allocated between charitable activities and fundraising costs based on the apportionment of direct costs.
Support costs include human resource and general administration expenses, monitoring and evaluation and travel expenses.
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Fundraising expenditure consists of expenses generated through the encouragement of people to contribute financially to the charity’s work. Fundraising expenditure incurred by Amantani Peru, but paid for by Amantani UK, is recharged to Amantani Peru by deducting funds from transfers made.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
Report to the trustees of Amantani UK (Charity Reg No 1131489) On accounts for the year ended 31st December 2022.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities 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 Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity 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
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
