Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Creating Better Futures continued to provide school fees, supporting children at eight primary schools and eight secondary schools. During the year we maintained the number of children individually sponsored at approximately 134. Creating Better Futures continued our feeding programmes, but due to the covid pandemic we were only able to deliver food packages to sponsored children and their families, we delivered over 630 monthly food parcels. Creating Better Futures continued to focus on projects with a sustainable focus and larger project applications. During the year: - Reading Family Church continued its partnership with Creating Better Futures, providing funding for a Borehole at our Farming Project, this was matched with funding from the Souter Trust. - The Rotary Club of Maidenhead continued their support for Maunganidze children’s home by providing a monthly food package for the second half of the year. - We received funding for Foundations for Farming training for our team, to help develop our farming projects within the communities. |
