Word from the directors
Following a very difficult year in 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic, closing our projects and sending our volunteers home, late 2021 saw some improvements and in 2022 most of our projects were fully reopened up & a significant number of volunteers returned.
Four of our five HELP (Huanchaco Education & Learning Programmes) were fully open & attracting a good number of beneficiaries and our HELP Women project is consulting the local community to agree the best focus for a re-launch.
We continued to develop our partnership with the US NGO Global GLOW in Huanchaco. With a focus on girl empowerment, literacy, entrepreneurship, health, and sex education, we served over 150 girls in 4 community groups through recurring and special events.
We re-started our Swim programme with our partners Swim Tayka in 2022. Starting in January, 60 kids from Huanchacho and the surrounding areas enrolled in these swimming lessons & environmental awareness classes.
We continue working with our partners Concrete Jungle Foundation who conduct lessons at the skate ramp at our REC (Recreation & Education Centre). Their EduSkate program provides free skate classes in Cerrito de la Virgen.
We expanded our partnerships with universities, both in recruiting volunteers, and in offering collaborations in research. In March, we hosted a large group of students from Sheffield University for an in-person Fieldwork Research tour, following their successful virtual fieldwork with us in 2021.
In 2022 we saw a change of staff as previous members finished their contracts and new team members joined the family. Thanks to Andrea & Diedra who left us & welcome to Ximena, Diana & Alejandra who joined us.
Our Finances reflected the re-growth of activities with income & expenditure both broadly doubled. We made a small surplus for the year, increased our reserves, and ended 2022 in a solid financial position, looking forward to 2023.
We'd like to thank all our staff, teachers, volunteers, donors & partners without which none of this good work would be possible.

HELP Projects HUANCHACO EDUCATION AND LEARNING PROGRAMMES
Otra Cosa Network runs five projects which are all part of the Huanchaco Education and Learning Programme (HELP), namely HELP English, HELP Environment, HELP Literacy, HELP Youth and HELP Women. HELP is dedicated to advancing the education possibilities and resources for lower-income children and adults in Huanchaco and the surrounding areas. The following pages document the achievements and challenges within the projects during the year 2022.

HELP English PROVIDING EQUAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH ACCESS TO ENGLISH CLASSES
In 2022, our HELP English project continued to have a significant impact on the community, boasting the highest number of beneficiaries among our HELP projects, with 40 enthusiastic children enrolled. One notable achievement was the introduction of monthly evaluations, providing valuable insights into the progress of our beneficiaries and allowing us to tailor our approach to their evolving needs.
We initiated a fundamental restructuring of the program, particularly for children who required essential Spanish literacy skills before delving into English. This strategic decision aimed to equip these children with a strong foundation for language learning. The HELP English project also expanded to encompass two distinct levels of English education, catering to both basic (alphabet, colours, etc.) and intermediate/advanced learners, focusing on daily phrases and grammatics.
Our commitment to spreading the benefits of English extended to various locations. We conducted lessons at the REC (Recreation & Education Centre), Maria del Socorro state school, where we rekindled a long-standing partnership, delivering English instruction three times a week to 3rd-grade students, the American School in Trujillo, and the Huanchaco Municipal library. This last location was a highly successful English program, designed for two age groups (9-13 and 14-18), that drew in over 20 beneficiaries, all of whom exhibited consistent attendance and active participation. Furthermore, we diligently developed the curriculum for the REC program, ensuring a well-structured and comprehensive approach for our students throughout the year. The HELP English project in 2022 was marked by innovation, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to providing valuable language education to our beneficiaries.

HELP Environment
TEACHING CHILDREN ABOUT LOCAL SOLUTIONS TO GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
In 2022, our HELP Environment project continued to make significant strides in creating a positive impact on both the community and the environment. One major accomplishment was the completion of the community garden at the REC, along with improvements to the hydroponic garden. These initiatives not only beautified the surroundings but also served as hands-on educational tools to raise awareness about sustainable living and local solutions to global environmental challenges.
Through our open house event, we were pleased to enrol 19 children, ranging from ages 4 to 15, further expanding our reach in educating the community about environmental sustainability. To cater to the varying age groups of our students, we divided the classes into two groups, ensuring age-appropriate learning experiences. A comprehensive curriculum was developed, extending until the end of the year, complemented by monthly evaluations to gauge our students' progress and adapt our teaching methods accordingly.
The HELP Environment project also continued to actively engage with the community through monthly beach clean-up initiatives. These events were highly successful, attracting numerous locals and passersby to join in the effort to pick up trash from the beach. These initiatives not only contributed to a cleaner environment but also promoted a sense of community responsibility and environmental stewardship.
One remarkable feat was the successful installation of a wind turbine in collaboration with WindAid Institute, a green energy source that will provide electricity to light our classrooms. This not only demonstrated the practical applications of renewable energy but also provided a unique opportunity to educate inquisitive children about climate change and sustainability.
The HELP Environment project in 2022 exemplifies our dedication to nurturing environmentally conscious individuals while fostering community engagement, sustainable practices, and the critical importance of regular beach clean-up initiatives.

HELP Literacy
LITERACY FOR LIFE: READING, LEARNING, THRIVING
In 2022, our HELP Literacy project achieved significant milestones aimed at enhancing literacy skills among the youngest children in the community. One notable observation was the prevalent issue of children being unable to read or write in Spanish, which posed a fundamental barrier to their educational development. In response, HELP Literacy was launched in the first quarter of the year, with a primary focus on the younger children, to provide them with essential literacy skills in Spanish.
Throughout the year, our dedicated team concentrated on imparting the building blocks of literacy. We introduced children to the alphabet, vowel and consonant sounds, and gradually guided them in sounding out words. Furthermore, the program offered a unique opportunity for literate beneficiaries to choose books from our library and engage in reading during their sessions, fostering a love for literature and expanding their reading horizons.
The HELP Literacy project drew enthusiastic participation, with approximately 20 children attending the class. Half of the group dedicated their time to building fundamental literacy skills, while the other half further improved their literary abilities by selecting books they were genuinely interested in from our library. This approach not only instilled a sense of empowerment but also promoted the joy of reading.
The classes encompassed a holistic approach to literacy, covering a diverse range of materials, including novels, poems, songs, and more, allowing the project to evolve and adapt to the expectations and preferences of the students.

HELP Youth
A SAFE AND INSPIRING ENVIRONMENT FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY, LEARN AND BE CREATIVE
In 2022, our HELP Youth project continued to flourish, offering a diverse array of educational and engaging activities for the young members of the Cerrito de la Virgen community. The year kicked off with a burst of excitement as the Cerrito Olympics were held during the months of January and February, coinciding with the Winter Olympics. This event not only encouraged healthy competition but also instilled a sense of sportsmanship and teamwork among the children.
The project celebrated International Women's Day with a heartfelt display of creativity and talent, as the children put on a play. Additionally, they participated in an origami class and a seed planting activity, nurturing an appreciation for the arts and environmental stewardship. The program further enriched the children's experiences with a series of art classes, encouraging self-expression and creativity.
At the REC and football court, a wide range of supervised activities and games continued to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the children. The project also celebrated diversity by incorporating various facets of learning and culture, including homework help, sports, science, music, and arts and crafts into the program. Guest teachers were invited to lead classes, broadening the children's horizons and introducing them to new areas of knowledge.
The HELP Youth project in 2022 continued to provide a well-rounded and nurturing environment for the youth of Cerrito de la Virgen, promoting personal growth, creativity, and a sense of community.

HELP Women
PROMOTING WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT IN HUANCHACO
While we initially hoped to restart our HELP Women programme, in 2022, we were not able to move forward with fully implementing any specific projects. We have met with local partners and the women we work with to assess what opportunities lie ahead in 2022 and will be exploring possible ventures in gardening, sewing, and small business enterprise. We launched an outreach campaign to gauge interest and needs in the community. We had a soft opening of the project to show women the garden and the REC. These delivery models were affected to some degree by the continuing pandemic.

Global G.L.O.W. EQUIPPING GIRLS TO BE STRONG, HEALTHY, AND EDUCATED
During year 2022, we continued our partnership with Global GLOW, a NGO based in the US that focuses on empowering girls around the world. For our GLOW clubs, we have been successful in maintaining the level of attendance, supporting around 150 girls from the four communities we have been working with from the beginning of the partnership (Las Camelias, Cerrito de la Virgen, Las Lomas and San Carlos). Our girls participated in the International Day of the Girl celebration and online events: "Girls Speak Out Summit" organized by the United Nations and the “International Virtual Summit” organized by Global GLOW. Apart from that, a Summit on the theme of “Local Identity” was held with great success.
Other programs that were implemeted are:
- Girl Boss , a program that teaches girls entrepreneural skills so they feel empowered and with the knowledge to be self-sufficient in the future. This year it took place in the community of San Carlos.
Healthy GLOW , a program focused on “sexual, reproductive, and emotional health with a strong emphasis on healthy relationships”. Four workshops were implemented this year through our local mentors in the communities of Las Lomas, San Carlos, Villa Los Angeles and El Tropico.
- Insight Committee Program with a girl advocate on research
a bout the experience of girls and women in our community.
We would like to aknowledge the great work done by our local mentors and assistants for another year: Yaqueline, Lia, Alexandra, Cristina and Carmen. The success of this program wouldn’t be possible without them. We feel blessed to have them in the team.

Partners & Partner Projects
WE WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR PARTNERS IN AND AROUND HUANCHACO
Global G.L.O.W.
An NGO based in the US, Global G.L.O.W. partners with NGOs around the world to develop and implement programs designed to equip girls with the resources to be strong, healthy and educated. In addition to GirlSolve and Healthy Clubs, GLOW activities throughout the year focus on different aspects of healthy development, giving girls opportunities to become leaders. Over 150 girls in Huanchaco participate.
SwimTayka
After a pandemic-induced hiatus, kids were able to return to the water and participate in the SwimTayka programme during 2022. Starting in January, 60 kids from Huanchacho and the surrounding areas enrolled in the lessons. During the sessions the children learned how to swim and received education on water safety and environmental issues.
Concrete Jungle Foundation
Concrete Jungle Foundation conducts lessons at the skate ramp at the REC. Their EduSkate program provides free skate classes in Cerrito de la Virgen.

Marketing
USING STATE-OF-THE-ART MARKETING TOOLS TO ENGAGE WITH OUR ONLINE COMMUNITY
Volunteer Recruitment
During year 2022 we received 64 inperson volunteers in Huanchaco to support in our HELP projects and other associated projects (dog shelters, medical programs, etc.), an average of 5.33 volunteers per month. 11 of this 64 volunteers came through Cooperating Volunteers, volunteering platform with whom we have continued collaborating with great success.
Social Media
Our numbers have continued growing, both in Facebook and Instagram, getting over the 2k followers in the second one. We also reactivated our Linkedin profile and created a test profile in TikTok to try to increase our audience and improve our outreach strategy.
From the middle of the year, the marketing team increased their post frequency, keeping it constant at a rate of 5 posts a week, something that has been paying off thanks to the algorithms. The team kept on posting about OCN and associated projects, volunteer life and Peru attractions, and utilised reels to increase audience. We have also used our social media to support the fundraising campaigns that have been carried out and to inform the local community about our work.
Marketing campaigns
Apart from the social media, and with the goal of
spreading the word about OCN in the community we live and work in, we have been taking the opportunity during local and fundraising events to distribute leaflets and ally with local businesses to be putting up posters about us, so that the local people get to know us personally. That has helped us get more local volunteers and donations.

International Relations
WE ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO STRENGTHEN AND EXTEND OUR NETWORK
Meetings/partnerships
We held monthly meetings with our major donor Global G.L.O.W. and invited Gabriela Obrego, their manager to be part of the OCN Manager Recruitment process.
We started to manage the seven GLOW programmes and the donors provided for the clubs to have access to internet and open a new Health Club in San Carlos with Yaqui and Lia. Sex Education for Global Glow is a successful programme. We implemented 4 in total during the year.
Juany dealt with all the ‘red tape’ with the Agencia Peruana de Cooperacion Internacional (APCI) and worked on the declaration of 2020 & 2021.
We liaised with the Spanish volunteering agency Cooperating Volunteers and we are expecting other Spanish volunteers.
We completed a Memorandum of Understanding with Helmo University in Belgium and welcomed two nurse volunteers in April for placement in the open clinics after the pandemic. This proved to be very challenging as with Covid restrictions it was difficult to start to work with the clinics immediately.
We also welcomed Genevieve, a nurse from England, who joined us in May 2022. We liaised with Northampton University and with Andrea’s help put a nice presentation together embarking on a new project for 2022.
We liaised with Univesidad del Sur in Lima to invite their Sustainable Tourism students for a project in Huanchaco. Dra. Inés Ruiz attended our conference with the large group of Sheffield University students.
We succeeded in working in partnership with Sheffield University and applied for a call from the British Council for specific countries in Vietnam, Peru and Bangladesh. A grant was sent to Sheffield University as a lead partner to work with us. The project
was called Gender Equality Partnerships - For women, with women. This explored gender inequalities in Vocational Training and Employment and was implemented successfully in Peru.

International Relations
OCN Field Research Programme in Peru took place in March 2022 with 38 students to do their fieldwork research and four Senior Lecturers: Sammia Poveda; Ankit Kumar; Daniel Hammett; Laura Sauls came to Huanchaco. Juany led the team with our OCN Peru management team and we had very good feedback.
In June, we welcomed seven MA intern researchers who did their fieldwork research dissertation from different areas of our projects. Juany also supervised 4 more desk online researchers who did their placement in parallel with the activities of the OCN description of the research for 2022.
We liaised with Manchester University to agree a Collaboration of Understanding for a Marketing Project that was elaborated by the students and used OCN as a case study. The benefit of this partnership was that we can have a better marketing plan.
Girl Advocacy
For 2022-2023 our Girl Advocacy Committee proposal was successful and we have Salome a girl who will benefit form a scholarship to continue her university studies. We created a new partnership with the American School in Trujillo who donated monthly income to us in recognition of our volunteers providing afternoon English classes to their students.
We presented the Annual Declarations from 2019 to 2021 as well the Proposed Work Plan for 2022 to APCI and ENIEX. This helps enable visas from the Minister of Interior for our staff and longterm volunteers.
Concert in Huanchaco
In August the Global GLOW Summit took place. We put together
a Cultural show about the Dama de Cao to deliver the full-day summit. The event saw leaders of the municipality and guests attend a show of all the girls. The summit was attended by the directors who called for strengthening resilience against COVID-19 impact and promoting shared values.
We liaised with Bryan Avery from Swim Takya to consolidate our work executed during the summer and evaluate the future collaboration for the HELP Swim progamme in 2023.

International Relations
Latinas Group in Warwickshire
We attended meetings with the Warwickshire County Council team and OCN was successfully awarded a competitive grant to work with Latino women in Warwickshire. Juany is implementing & leading this and will monitor & evaluate the project.
We have managed to outreach 75 women and their families. We ran three classes in Quarter 1: Fitness Class with Mandy Morris; Craft once a month at the Gap Community Centre and a garden group employing a Spanish speaking gardener. We celebrated Mother’s Day & Women’s Day and invited the Warwickshire County Council representative who attended & said they were impressed.
Through the year we implemented Gardening, physical activities, mental health, craft and social activities. We increased our membership from 15 to 75 women.
Furthermore, a proposal for funds was awarded from Warwick District Council for specific shopping materials including a laptop, projector and music speaker. Juany led on implementing the use of these funds.
In order to work with the local government, structures, policies, procedures and systems are embedded within a programme quality framework to ensure that we carefully design our work and select our partners, taking account of community needs, diversity and inclusion, the local environment, and lessons from earlier work. We are currently implementing a new integrated Programme Information Management System (iPIMS) that will help to further enhance our business processes. We are also developing monitoring and evaluation systems and conducting evaluations. We had processes to ensure that donor requirements are understood and applied by our local group.
This work focuses on eradication of loneliness and the impact of Covid-19 with most vulnerable and marginalised community. We work with alliances of all faiths and with secular organisations that share our determination to end loneliness. We benefit people from many Latin American countries. Our
strategy aims to engage the Latinas in the fight against invisibility and help supporters put their presence into action. Solidarity underpins our core values. We have a role to promote understanding, inclusion and tolerance of others regardless of race, gender or faith, using our values as a force for change and contributing to cooperation for the benefit of those in isolation or poverty.

We would like to acknowledge and offer a special thank you to all of our generous partner organisations and donors who contributed towards and supported our projects in 2022.

FACTS & FIGURES OTRA COSA 21
Finances
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
These 2022 Accounts have been prepared using the UK Charity Commission's Receipts & Payments accounting conventions so that OCN funds received and payments made between 1st January 2022 and 31st December 2022 are included. In 2020, Covid-19 closed down our in-person projects and sent our volunteers home early in the year. We agreed to cost-saving actions & fundraising plans which managed to keep us financially sustainable through 2020. In 2021, Covid-19 continued to seriously impact what we could achieve. However, by the middle of the year some volunteers were returning, projects were re-opening and we were able to complete building the new Skate Ramp at our ‘REC’ (Recreational & Educational Centre).
In 2022, the general situation improved further enabling us to fully re-open & recruit more volunteers and increasingly fill our Volunteer House, resulting in substantial increases in Volunteer payments & Housing income.
Receipts
Total receipts were £107,164 in 2022, just over double the receipts of £53,538 in 2021. Volunteer payments were up by £25,819 to £34,059, Housing income up by £12,873 to £17,823 and grants up by £8,687 to £43,416 together accounting for most of the £53,626 increase in Income against 2021.
The increase in grant income included the Global GLOW programme getting back to previous levels as the Covid impact faded and grants from Warwickshire County Council to support local Latino families in Warwickshire, UK through their Covid-19 recovery fund. Global GLOW continued to be our largest single donor.
However, Fundraising & Donations were down by a combined £1,594 reflecting scaling back our campaigns as the exceptional COVID campaigns of 2020/21 came to an end.
Group travel income of £3,072 partly related to a group travelling in 2022 and also reflected a group of American volunteers paying us in late 2022 for their travels in Peru planned for 2023. Other/sundry income increased to £5,284, including all payments for excursions, translations etc by the large group of Sheffield University students and also payments by volunteers throughout the year for Spanish lessons with our local partner teacher.
In 2022, although Volunteer payments & Housing income bounced back from their exceptional lows of 2020/21, they still accounted for less than 50% of our income. This supports our long-term strategy of being less dependent on Volunteer payments & Housing income and focusing more on Grant income.
22
Finances
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Payments
Increases in expenditure in 2022 against 2021 need to be seen against the changed circumstances in 2022 compared with 2021. As explained above, as the Covid-19 restrictions lifted we re-opened our projects and recruited more volunteers. This did increase our income but also all our costs.
Total expenses more than doubled from £51,021 in 2021 to £105,244 in 2022, broadly in line with our doubling income.
The biggest increase was in project expenditure from £28,403 to £48,252 with projects fully reopened and grant expenditure to support them substantially increased. Housing/accommodation/food expenses for our volunteers and staff more than trebled from £6,234 to £19,829, but it should be noted that Housing income more than trebled and our volunteer payments quadrupled as we attracted more volunteers.
Total salary payments increased by over 60% from £12,293 to £19,770 as we reinstated a full team in Peru to look after the increased number of volunteers and reopened projects and UK salaries were restored to previously agreed levels after temporary reductions in 2021.
There were also significant increases in office supplies, transport costs and professional fees as activity levels ramped up against 2021 levels.
Group travel expenses of £1,197 in 2022 covered the cost of a small group travelling to Cusco etc in June. Their income more than covered the expenses and is included above. Other expenses totalling £8,360 are mainly related to payments for excursions, translations etc by the large group of Sheffield University students and payments by OCN for Spanish lessons with our local partner teacher. Exchange rate losses on transfers to Peru amounted to £2,099.
Overall, the increase in payments was almost exactly matched by an increase in income.
Net cash surplus & reserves
In 2022, we made a cash surplus of £1,920. This included a surplus of £5,990 on unrestricted funds and a deficit of £4,070 on restricted funds, mainly reflecting the timing of when grants etc were received and when they were spent. It should be noted that the cash surplus included the £1,360 received in late 2022 from Americans planning to travel in 2023 when OCN would incur these costs.
We ended the year with £9,773 in General Reserves (unrestricted funds). Compared with our Unrestricted spend of £57,522 (including housing expenses of £19,829) this is 2.0 months cover. However, if housing expenses (largely covered by housing income) are excluded then our General Reserves cover 3.1 months salaries & administrative costs against a target over 3 months cover. This is considered sufficient to allow for any short-term financial issues.
