Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

Charity name: Kasupe

Charity registration number: 1134731

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of Kasupe, being primarily advanced in Malawi, but not restricted to this area, are:

a) The advancement of education, in particular for children
b) The relief of poverty
c) The relief of need by providing such assistance and help as the trustees determine including helping to provide shelter or accommodation
d) The promotion of good health
e) The promotion of such other purposes as are charitable under the laws of England and Wales as the trustees from time to time determine.

Achievements 2024-2025

Nursery and School: The Nursery continues to thrive with over 190 pupils, and now has a qualified Nursery teacher employed, whereas previously this has been the role of teaching assistants. MANY THANKS to an anonymous donor for the generous financial support of the teacher. Kasupe Primary School is now a Centre of Excellence following the introduction of desks. This means that two other local schools use Kasupe as an examination centre for their Primary School leaving certificate.

Feeding programme: The feeding programme has continued this year with over 600 children from Nursery School up to Standard 4 currently receiving a nutritious meal each day. This encourages attendance at school and will aid development and promotion of good health.

Uniforms: This year, we have started a new business with the sewing of school uniforms. The women are supplied with the fabric with which they produce the uniforms. The high-quality uniforms can be purchased for those attending the Kasupe school. So far, the new uniforms have been very well received, and in addition provides another source of income for local women.

Desks: Thanks to the generosity of Widnes Rotary Club (£ 3,000) and the JUSACA Trust (£ 5,000), plus our 2023 Christmas appeal, we now have 145 desks in total in Standard 3-8. This enables our learners to learn in a comfortable environment conducive to education and especially impacts the learning of our female students.

Honey Bees: Due to an accidental fire in summer, several hives were destroyed, The 2024 Christmas appeal managed to raise enough money for the purchase of 6 new hives. The ongoing success of this initiative may enable a longer-term vision of a purpose-built facility to improve quality and increase production. It is hoped that this has the potential for a profitable local business supporting the community.

Sustainability Kasupe continues to work towards promoting sustainable projects aiming to reduce the dependence on funding from the UK. These projects include our solar plant which is now producing 13kwh and is used for lighting, computers and charging mobile phones. Our block making machine continues to produce blocks for our own building projects and will be used for our next project of building a clinic house.

Permaculture: This year has been a successful year for our gardening projects, seeing a successful crop of maize and a variety of vegetables. These have been used to supplement our feeding projects and to sell at local markets to raise funds locally.

Goat Breeding Programme: This project is now self sustaining with 108 goats being distributed to 36 beneficiaries. Each family receives one male and 2 female goats, to be used for breeding, manure, milk and meat. Each family will then donate goats back to the programme to benefit more families.
