TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The prevention or relief of poverty and financial hardship in Sub-Saharan countries by providing or assisting in the provision of education, training, healthcare projects and all the necessary support designed to enable individuals to live and generate a sustainable income and be self -sufficient. In particular:
-
Sponsorship of 13 students through sixth form education at Bumhira High School in Zimbabwe, and a further 5 through University. The Bumhira Project has a single benefactor who has formed The Benjamin Trust fund for this purpose
-
Supporting specific building and school equipment projects at Nyanga North High School in Zimbabwe
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
-
The charity has funded 12 students (from disadvantaged backgrounds) through 2 years of 6th form study at Bumhira High School. Every student passed all their A levels which is a fantastic achievement.
-
We have rented, refurbished and updated two boarding houses one for boys and one for girls who live too far from the school to travel each day.
-
We have paid for the students uniform, food, stationary, extra tuition/revision sessions, text books, WIFI, laptops and phones toiletries and pocket money.
-
At Nyanga North, we have financed a container from the UK with donations of books, uniforms, classroom furniture and other educational equipment.
c. Volunteers
The 4 Trustees of the charities as well as all contacts who help us in Zimbabwe are all volunteers who help to identify, support and monitor the educational projects in Zimbabwe.
d. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit
All the activities of the charity are based in Zimbabwe where all monies are used for the benefit of Zimbabwean young people.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Charity
Bumhira School
-
There is now a router in the girls’ boarding house and boys and girls can use it
-
We have provided restored laptop computers ( donated by a local Abingdon company ), purchased SSDs
-
and windows licences for the laptops and purchased back packs for the computers to be carried safely.
-
Extra revision classes have been arranged.
-
The first “Bumhira Project” leavers have left school with good exam results; all thirteen passed all of their
-
subjects. Five of these students have applied for university - to be funded by Suchhope
-
One outstanding issue remains the water supply in the boys boarding house This may be ongoing as the
-
whole area is experiencing some difficulties.
-
Two TVs have been donated from the container to the project.
-
Text books from the container have been distributed to the school and to schools in the area.
Nyangs North High School (NNHS)
• The container was released and transported to the site. This has been extremely challenging at every step. Bureaucratic challenges at every stage and weather challenges transporting heavy container on dirt roads on steep inclines. These challenges have additional charges and currency fluctuations made these charges even more difficult to predict. However, the container is now in situ on the NNHS site. A real achievement.
-
15 bikes restored from St Edwards School are in the container awaiting distribution to those who walk
-
more than 10 kms to attend school.
-
We have built a block of 14 toilets in NNHS.
-
Teachers have been provided with beds and wardrobes, a TV, a year’s subscription to DS TV and gas
-
cylinders, Capri refrigerators and stoves.
-
Chairs from the container / uniforms donated by St Edwards from the container are being used / white
-
boards from the container are in use.
-
The night watch man has been allocated an allowance to ensure security of the container.
-
Computers in the container went to NNHS
-
Tables for the school have been provided made in Zimbabwe.
-
Container branding sponsored by an individual in the UK has been achieved.
-
Text books from the container have been distributed to schools in the wider area in addition to NNHS
b. Review of activities
The Trustees are satisfied that funds have been well used to achieve our objectives and that these have been successfully met despite challenges, in particular with the purchase, shipping and delivery of the container for Nyanga.
The economic / political instability and inflation in Zimbabwe makes budgeting difficult especially for the students’ school and university fees and also in terms of the purchase of materials and equipment to maintain the Bumhira and Nyanga projects.
The strength of our small charity is that Henry Chitsenga travels to Zimbabwe every school holiday to oversee progress of the projects and to oversee and teach the vital revision classes at Bumhira.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Achievements and performance (continued)
c. Fundraising activities and income generation
The charity has a Just Giving page. Henry Chitsenga posts regular updates about the work of the charity on his Facebook account which generates a lot of interest and income. St Edward’s School/pupils/parents have donated some funds mainly for Nyanga North projects.
Other individuals have given small amounts via standing orders. One generous individual donor is sponsoring the students at Bumhira High School.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
The Charity has no reserves policy at present. We operate in accordance with a pre-set budget and aim to keep to that so as not to go overdrawn. The cash balance at the end of the year was £3,299 (2023 : £9,909) but this was not viewed as reserve funds. Donations will be requested to fund the costs accrued at the year end.
c. Principal risks and uncertainties
The economic / political instability and hyperinflation in Zimbabwe makes budgeting challenging and unpredictable especially for the students’ school and university fees and also in terms of the purchase of materials and equipment to maintain the Bumhira and Nyanga projects.
d. Principal funding
Apart from one individuals generous sponsorship, few standing orders, occasional donations from other sources, and some fundraising by St Edward's School, the charity does not currently have regular and reliable sources of funding.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
Sub-Saharan Children's Hope Trust is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Trust deed.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
There are 4 trustees, 3 of whom are actively involved in all decision making. There is no hierarchy. Two trustees must approve all bank transfers.
d. Financial risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Plans for future periods
The charity hopes to continue to fund the education of young Zimbabweans through Bumhira High school and through University courses. Numbers will depend on funding in the UK and costs in Zimbabwe. The charity will support the Nyanga secondary school project in a limited way depending on funds available.
Members' liability
The Members of the Charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Charity in the event of winding up.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Sub-Saharan Children's Hope Trust ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

SUB-SAHARAN CHILDREN'S HOPE TRUST (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1. General information
Sub-Saharan Children's Hope Trust is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, registration number 07556656. The address of the registered office is St Edward's Oxford, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 7NN.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Sub-Saharan Children's Hope Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
2.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.4 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

SUB-SAHARAN CHILDREN'S HOPE TRUST (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
2.6 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.7 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Critical areas of judgment:
There are no key judgements that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
