TAR March 2012 Section D Achievements and performance 1. The Charity's a¢trvities in 2022 were exclusively to make grants to Butoke. a non-govemmental organisation in the Democratic Republic ofthe Congo ("DRC"). Summary of the maln achievements of the charity during the year 2. Butoke operates in the Westem Kasai region of the DRC. The Westem Kasai lacks infrastructure: metalled roads are few and far befv4een and state wn educational and health facilities are of poor qualty andlor not accessible to those living in poverty. 3. BLrtoke has a particular interest in the rights of women and girls who are often marginalised by society and treated as having fewer rights than men and boys. 4. Against this backdrop the main achievements of the Charity this year have been to part fund educational and health facilities which are accessible to even the poorest residents of the area in which Butoke operates and also to part fund a project to assist the victims of rape - the °Elsa Corp Justice Project.. 5. As in the previous year, the Justice Project has worked with number of impovenshed rape victims. It has provided them with the necessary legal and medical assistance, and has also assisted them with dothing, food and. where necessary, relocation.
