TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. 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) (2nd Edition, effective 1 January 2019) ("Charities SORP"). 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 sustainable income and be self-sufficient. In particular;

Sponsorship of students through sixth form education at Bumhira High School in Zimbabwe (2025 – 11; 2024 - 12), and 6 (2024- 5) through university. The Bumhira Project has a single benefactor who has formed The Benjamin Trust fund for this purpose.
Supporting specific school equipment and other projects at Nyanga North High School, also in Zimbabwe.

Trustee annual visits – One of the trustees makes a minimum of three visits annually to Zimbabwe, enabling close monitoring of the projects ensuring that funds transferred translate into action on the ground to meet set objectives.

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)'.

TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

The charity funded 11 (2024; 12) students through mainly sixth form studies (split between 6[th] and lower 6[th] forms) at Bumhira High School. Funding included school and examination fees, extra tuition, revision sessions and pocket money for basics such as toiletries among others . Accommodation and food support continued in the current year as well. Students are housed in out buildings refurbished and furnished by the Trust in previous years under the supervision of a matron.
Six university students were supported through the payment of full or partial tuition fees, accommodation costs support and facilitation of access to health facilities.
At Nyanga North Secondary School, comprehensive teacher welfare packages were donated to motivate and retain staff. Support was also provided through installation of infrastructure to enable access to wi-fi by both teachers and students. In support of sports development uniforms were provided to all major teams.

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. In the current year, a former

beneficiary of the trust who is now a qualified accountant assisted with the book keeping and preparation of management and statutory accountants. The independent examiner is however external.

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 through funding education related projects.

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Charity

The Sub-Saharan Children’s Hope Trust, (Suchhope) streamlined the process by which funds are transferred to schools and universities to settle fees through setting up a Convera Account. The majority of sponsored students attend Bumhira school which receives lump sum payments.

Henry Chitsenga (trustee) managed the minimum of three visits to Zimbabwe, enabling close monitoring of the projects to ensure that funds transferred translated into action aligned with objectives on the ground.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1.Bumhira High School- Comprehensive student welfare and academic support program

At Bumhira High School, our intervention goes beyond academic sponsorship to embrace the whole child. By ensuring nutrition, personal dignity, academic support, and emotional wellbeing, we have created a nurturing environment where students can thrive. This programme reflects our belief that true education is not only taught in classrooms but sustained through care, structure, and consistent support that empowers learners to dream beyond their circumstances. In the 2024 / 2025 financial year, 11 (6 girls and 5 boys; 5 in sixth form, 5 in the fifth form and 1 in form 3) students were supported as follows;

Payment of school and examination fees.
Provision of school uniforms and stationery.
Employment of a dedicated caregiver responsible for cooking meals and monitoring the supported students’ welfare.
Funding of holiday revision classes.
Monthly allowances to meet personal care needs such as toiletries and sanitary ware for girls.
Organisation and sponsorship of an outreach and team building programme.

In order to build on the achievements of the past year (Trustee Report 2023-2024), preparations this year were made for English Workshop sessions at Bumhira School to try encourage and support the use of the English language amongst the students as well as other A level students in the school. To this end, each of the participants was provided with a printed workbook.

A School WhatsApp group has been set up to enhance the day-to-day monitoring, keeping in touch and to provide additional support among the students and teachers. This includes the Head and Contact teachers in the school as well as the matron.

Five former Bumhira students are now at the Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University in Bindura. Four of them are studying Social Work and one is studying Business Studies. One of the students has had challenges with their mental health and may need to defer their studies for a year. The trustees have been liaising with his guardians, and the hospital in monitoring the situation.

2. Nyangs North High School (NNHS) – Teacher welfare support, digital inclusion and sports development

NNHS stands as a powerful testimony of dedication under adversity. Despite harsh climatic conditions, lack of transport, and no network

coverage, the teachers have remained steadfast in their calling to educate. As a charity, we responded by honouring their sacrifice through holistic welfare, digital connectivity, and professional support. By transforming teachers’ living conditions and connecting the school to global learning resources, we reaffirmed our belief that when teachers are valued, students flourish, communities rise, and hope is restored. Below is a summary of the support provided;

Comprehensive teacher welfare packages donated to motivate and retain staff working under extreme conditions (each teacher was provided with a fridge freezer, gas stove, 50kg gas cylinder, wardrobe & double bed sets).
Sports uniforms for all major school teams as well as sports kits for teachers.
Entire school infrastructure and learning support in the form of; - Starlink internet installations and subscriptions,
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication system (first school in the district),
Wi-fi routers installed in all teachers’ houses with 24/7
connectivity,
55-inch Samsung smart tv, DSTV Compact plus installation and related subscriptions. The tv can be accessed by both the students and teachers.

3. University education & support

Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University (ZEGU) – University Student Sponsorship & Pastoral Support

At Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University, our intervention ensured that financial hardship did not silence academic potential. By walking alongside students beyond fees, advocating for their welfare, health, and practical training, we offered more than sponsorship. We offered dignity, stability and hope. This holistic approach reflects our conviction that higher education should be accessible to all who are willing to learn, regardless of their socio-economic background. Support was in the form of;

sponsorship of 5 vulnerable students through settlement of full or partial tuition fees and accommodation costs.
Liaison with the university for compassionate consideration for on campus accommodation support, access to health and assistance with industrial attachment placements.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

3. University education & support (continued)

Bindura University of Science Education (BUSE) – Long-Term Female Student Sponsorship

Our work at Bindura University of Science Education highlights the transformative power of targeted support. By fully sponsoring a female student, we are investing not only in her education but in future generations she will inspire. This initiative affirms our commitment to empowering young women through education, breaking cycles of poverty and nurturing leaders who will shape Zimbabwe’s future.

One female student was fully sponsored through a committed supporter. Full tuition and educational costs are covered for the duration of her studies.

b. Review of activities

The Trustees are satisfied that funds have been well used to achieve objectives.

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.

Across all institutions, our work this year has been guided by compassion, equity, and a firm belief in education as a tool for lasting transformation. Each initiative reflects our commitment to restoring dignity, unlocking potential, and building resilient communities through purposeful philanthropy.

c. Fundraising activities and income generation

The Charity has not held any significant fundraising events in the year ending 31 March 2025. Most of the donors make small financial contributions through direct gifts, standing orders and via the Just Giving page. Our major donor makes large transfers at the necessary

time of year to cover the costs of the students we sponsor at Bumhira High School and for university education. Henry Chitsenga (trustee) posts regular updates about the work of the charity on his Facebook account which generates a lot of interest and sometimes results in donations. St Edward’s School/pupils/parents in Oxford have donated some funds mainly for Nyanga North projects.

TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

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 adoptthe 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 get overdrawn. The cash balance at the end of the year was £4,205 (2024: £3,299) but this was not viewed as reserve funds

c. Principal risks and uncertainties

The economic / political instability and hyperinflation in Zimbabwe make 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 individual’s 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.

TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

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). Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to; select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements and to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business for the foreseeable future..

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees confirm that so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by section 418(3) of the Companies Act 2006) of which the charitable company’s independent examiner is unaware. They have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit

information and to establish that the charitable company's independent examiner is aware of that information.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to entities subject to the small companies regime.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT 31 MARCH 2025

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.

(A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT 31 MARCH 2025

2 Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Expenditure (continued)

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.

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

2.7 Fund accounting (continued…)

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. The 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 are discussed below.

Critical areas of judgment:

There are no key judgements that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
