No other individuals served as charity trustees during the year. Trustees are
nom inated by existing trustees and approved at the meetinos of the trustees. Two
Trustees meetings are held each year.
The Charity was established in 2009. The Charity is constituted as a trust and
governed by a Trust deed.
Objectives and Activities
Objectives
The objectives of the charity, as set out in the trust deed are:
A. To relieve poverty, deprivation, distress and suffering of abandoned
children and children without parents in Tanzania by working with local
Christian organisations to PTovide practical and spiritual support,
including the building and operation of orphanages and schools; the
provision of finance to enable access to shelter, care, education and
medical services and other basic needs.
B. To advance the awareness and education of the public in the UK and
abroad regarding the suffering and needs of the orphans in Tanzania
through presentations at schools, churches and other meeting places.,
and publication and distribution of information.

Activities
The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on
public benefit in planning the activities of the charity.
The charity provides grants to partner organisations in Tanzania who work together
with the charity to support orphan children in Tanzania with:
Education - to provide school, college and university fees, uniforms, shoes
and the equipment they need for school - books, pens, computers etc.
personal support - to provide food, medical care, accommodation, foster
carers to look after the younger children, help with finding jobslstarting a
business
Spiritual guidance - to provide the opportunity for the children to hear the
gospel message and the good news that they have a heavenly father who
loves them very much
The support provided is for orphan children in rural Tanzania. The United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF) defines an orphan as a child under 18 years ot age who
has Sost one or both parents to any cause of death. This definition is adopted here,
but preference will always be given to orphans who have lost both parents. Only
orphan children who lack the means of economic support from their wider family will
be considered to be part of the programme (e.g. if an orphan can access education
and healthcare without our suptx)rt they will not be considered for the programme),
In general, the beneficiaries of the programme will live in the town of Kibakwe and
the surrounding villages in the Dodoma region of Tanzania, This makes the
programme more effective and manageable.
Children will not be taken into the programme if they are over the age of 18.
However, if a child in the programme undertakes further education or training they
can continue until they qualify or reach the age of 25.
In addition to the direct support to the orphans, we are working with our Tanzanian
partner to establish a medical centre that will provide the orphans with free medical
services and employment opportunities.
To help achieve our objectives the charity has partnership agreements with our
partner organisations in Tanzania.
In the UK we work with churches and schools to raise awareness of the needs of
orphans in Tanzania.
