**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. ## **Rodrigo Bustos** Meet My World is finishing the preparations for a wonderful photographic exhibition during the summer of next year, to be held in Ccorca's main square. 2 ## **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. ## **Jonathan Palfreyman** 3 **03** ## **Strategic Framework** This year, we decided it was time to update our Mission and Vision statements to better represent all the work we have incorporated into our organisational strategy over the years. **01** Vision **02** ## Mission A fair, inclusive Peru with equal opportunities for all.

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 100% 91% of young people proudly self-identify as part of indigenous communities after the first phase of the programme (compared to 20% at the start). of young people felt listened to and that their opinions were heard. of young people said they were no longer scared or embarrassed of speaking 70% in public after the programme (compared to 30% at the start). *Data taken from a survey administered to all the participants at the end of Phase 1. 7 Eduardo, our Youth Work Coordinator, runs a workshop during the first phase of the programme in the multipurpose room at Amantani's campus in Ccorca. The Pathways Student Council addresses the young people's parents to talk about the learnings of the first phase of the programme. Erwin, a young man who stands out for his poetry recital skills, recites a poem at the closing ceremony of the first phase of the programme. 8 ## **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.” 9 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. ## INDICATORS young person with a university degreeuniversity degree 1 6 young people finished their studiesfinished their studies in the second semester of the year. young people obtained a governmentgovernment 10 scholarship to continue their studies.to continue their studies. young people are in the process of 14 graduating from their courses. young people who finished studies at CETPROs between 2019 and 2022 16 received their certifications. . young person with a university degreeuniversity degree young people finished their studiesfinished their studies in the second semester of the year. young people obtained a governmentgovernment scholarship to continue their studies.to continue their studies.

In the future, I’d like to open my own clothing business in Cusco or Lima.” *Servicio Nacional de Adiestramiento en Trabajo Industrial (National Service for Industrial Work Training) 12 ## **Scholarships Student Council** The Student Council was elected this year by the Scholarships Programme participants, through a democratic vote, guided by the ONPE (National Office for Electoral Processes). 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. ## **Ruth Karina** President of the Scholarships Student Council "Taking on the presidency required a lot of commitment on my part. I want to continue working to ensure that the Council is the real voice of the young people.” Rony (Welfare Officer), María (Treasurer) , Ruth Karina (President), Yolanda (Spokesperson) and David (Secratary) at the Paqari Wayna Youth Hub. 13 ## **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: Luis Brayan A **rea:** Distribution **Company:** Coca Cola **----- Start of picture text -----**

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. ## Points of Sale in **Cusco** , **6** new 7 4 this year. in **Lima 1** of which , new shop in 1 1 . opened this year. **Arequipa** new **virtual** shop. 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. 16 Mariano, the only male artisan on the team, shows off one of his hat bands, wearing a poncho that he made himself. During their monthly meetings, the artisans share designs, deliver their products and receive payment for their work. The Artisans' Council is in charge of maintaining order at the monthly meetings, alongside the Amantani team. In many cases, the artisans use sticks to support their bracelets, bag tags or hat bands as they work, 17 Amazon Youth PROJECT ai sè -thiithiiW 4Tr4 ## **Amazon Youth Project** ## 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.** 19 ## **Amazon Youth Project** ## OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2022 TRIP ## San Antonio del Estrecho We met with public institutions including the Ministry of Development & Social Inclusion and the FECOIBAP*. We organised three workshops focused on sexuality and further education at the Padre Medardo Andrade School. ## Nauta We supported 3 young people to apply and prepare for the government scholarship exam, "Beca 18". One of the young people, Reyci, was chosen for the scholarship and we are working to help her take the next steps and decide on her choice of studies. ## Remanso We met with representatives of the FEICOBAP, the Remanso Secondary School and with the chief of the community, to organise a workshop with the teachers and the parents of young people in the last two years of secondary school. ## Santa Clotilde We ran 22 workshops focused on personal development and vocational orientation, with more than . 200 young people and 20 teachers *Federación de Comunidades Indígenas del Bajo Putumayo (Federation of the Indigenous Communities of the Bajo Putumayo) ## **INDICATORS** young people studying in Iquitos through Amantani Scholarships. 5 workshops delivered to young people and +40 their tutors. hours of tutoring. +85 hours of mentoring. +166 students in the last two years of secondary school and their teachers +400 participated in workshops. 20 Young people in the fourth year of secondary school in Santa Rita, Iquitos participate in a dynamic exercise during one of the Amazon Youth Project workshops. The Amazon Youth Project includes outdoor workshops that help to develop self-confidence, explore and deconstruct fears, and work on teamwork. The young people get into smaller teams to share their ideas and opinions. This helps to ensure all their voices are heard. 21 ## **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. ## **Paolo** ## Amantani Scholarship Student - "I was always very responsible with my studies and got good marks. I am also - performing well at the Institute. One of my - biggest issues has been with finances. With time, I have learnt to make the most of my free time and holidays to earn money.

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. ## Name: Nick Johnson Relevant professional qualification(s) or body (if any): FCCA Address: Simpsons FM, Pentlow, Sudbury, Suffolk, CO10 7JT Signed: Date: 12 April 2023 |**Statement of Financial Activities**|||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||**Unrestricted**

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. |**Restricted funds consolidated**

|**260,447**|| ## **Reserves policy** Funds generated during a financial period which are not needed for project costs in are held in non exotic currency in both Amantani UK and Amantani Peru. The trustees have agreed to continue with a policy that Amantani should hold reserves to cover three months running costs of Amantani as a whole, including the UK and Peru, and so reserves have remained the same at £115,000. Of this total, £75,000 is held in Amantani UK, and £40,000 is held in Amantani Peru. ## **Related parties** During the year, there were no related party transactions ## **Trustees** The trustees have not received any remuneration or reimbursement of expenses during the year. END ## **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. ## Name: Nick Johnson Relevant professional qualification(s) or body (if any): FCCA Address: Simpsons FM, Pentlow, Sudbury, Suffolk, CO10 7JT Signed: Date: 12 April 2023 |**Statement of Financial Activities**|||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||**Unrestricted**
