Etatu Annual Report 2020

Charity Name: Etatu – educational charity working in Msambweni, Kenya Registration No. 1148978

Address: 5 Dod Lane, Glastonbury, Somerset, BA6 8BZ Trustee Names: Jacqueline Lindgren, Rupert Rumney, Janet Pryer

Structure and Management:

The founder and Chair of Trustees effectively serves as the CEO and general administrator, serving legal and administrative functions, fundraising and organising and overseeing the team of part time workers in Kenya.

In Kenya, there is a team of five part time staff who fulfil the duties required to carry out the charity’s objectives.

Activities and Objectives:

To sponsor children in secondary school: 69 children were provided the opportunity to attend secondary school, 20 boys and 49 girls, mainly as boarders.

To fund and oversee the management of the Msamwbeni Orphans Programme – providing a healthy meal and chance for play once a week, providing school uniform and medical care as required.

To maintain the banda as a meeting place, library and focal point for the sponsored children, particularly in holiday time.

To assist Msambweni Primary School: to sponsored teachers and assist in other identified and affordable ways.

Achievements:

All children sponsored completed a year of schooling. We assisted in three serious medical cases, helping the children return to school as soon as possible. All children were provided with set texts, a new develeopemnt and the number of books each was able to borrow and take to school was increased – we added 100 new books to the banda library.

The Orphans’ programme was maintained and we continued to support 45 orphans through Covid although we were not able to meet in larger groups due to government Covid restrictions.

The Banda: this continued to function as planned, with two holidays that featured a full holiday programme of lessons and community activities. The third was not possible, due to the arrival of Covid. The roof was replaced.

Msambweni Primary School: sponsored two teachers; completed the repair and refurbishment of a classroom to turn it into a school library, complete with electricity; provided school lunch for over 100 children taking their final KCPE exams.

Other activities: a) Sixth Formers from Hereford UK visited for a week and visited the primary and two secondary schools as well as the Orphans programme and a local hospital. The organised craft classes, played a football match, distributed solar lights and school bags, and assisted the admin office of the hospital with their computer programme.

b) We conducted three food distributions during Covid to needy families in the area. Over 80 families were given food packages each time. These included the MOP households.

General: Covid presented fundraising obstacles, but appeard when most of the funding for the financial year had been secured. Our annual Somerset quix took place on March 7[th] , very fortunately.

Debts:The Charity has no debts and holds no funds as a custodian trustee
