Section D Achievements and performance
This year has been another challenging one for AMOR due to the global **Summary of the main** economic crisis and its devastating effects. While the fundraising **achievements of the charity** landscape changed dramatically, with many funds that support overseas **during the year** projects being rediverted to UK projects or their focus narrowed down, costs rose significantly as the need for our services increased exponentially, as Mayan communities were plunged into ever deeper poverty. At the same time, Guatemala’s continuing democratic backslide is making it a much more complicated place to work. Your support has helped transform the lives of over 30,000 people. Together with our trust partners, you have helped us raise almost £65,000. The life-changing work continues. Your support enabled us to run community-led initiatives that provided health care, food security, human rights, and emergency nutritional support, and helped revive traditional knowledge in Mayan communities throughout Guatemala. Child sponsorship continues to touch the lives of over 160 members of our international family, who support almost 230 children, helping them thrive where they might otherwise struggle to eat or attend school. Sponsorship accounts for around one-quarter of our funding from private donations. AMOR is committed to accompanying the Mayan people in their moment of greatest need, and we are grateful to those who, despite the myriad crises throughout the world, have generously given to help alleviate the suffering of those most affected by these perpetual crises in the Maya lands year after year, making this possible. Despite the immense challenges of the current economic situation and the need to adapt and innovate in the face of great uncertainty, AMOR has continued to have an impact far beyond its size and to stabilise its funding levels, thanks to the efforts of the teams of Mayan and international volunteers who work tirelessly to restore lives and hope for Guatemala. The situation for the Mayan people is more challenging than ever: the cost-of-living emergency has worsened the humanitarian crisis in indigenous communities, leading to increased extreme poverty and forced migration, as well as increased land appropriation and threats to human rights defenders, creating a climate of fear. However, the resilience of the Mayan people offers reasons for hope. Backed by our foundational partners and supporter family, AMOR has had a transformational impact on the lives of over 30,000 Mayan children and their families. We continue to experience steady growth in our Health projects, supported by AMOR’s private and trust donations, while our Food Security projects remained stable. Our Human Rights programme, which addresses the growing problem of attacks on human rights defenders and impediments to access to justice for genocide, has also continued to develop, particularly through promoting security initiatives. I will leave our Annual Report to tell more about the life-changing difference you have been part of and to say thanks once again for trusting AMOR with your generous donations.

Section D Achievements and performance
**Health, Food Security and Indigenous Climate Resistance**
**Our programmes work to ensure that the basic needs of Mayan communities are met with dignity, drawing on traditional Mayan health and agricultural knowledge. Access to adequate food and health services is a fundamental human right. However, many are deprived of these basic rights.**
In the past year, almost 14,000 people benefited from AMOR’s work in traditional health. AMOR improved the health of mothers and their children. Indigenous midwives were trained and supported to equip pregnant women and mothers of infants with the knowledge needed to have healthier pregnancies and to breastfeed. More than 1,600 women and their families have benefitted in this way.
AMOR helped build the capacity of 120 Indigenous Community Health Volunteers (ICHVS) in Guatemala to inform, protect and serve their communities, act as peacemakers, and help build a healthy Guatemala that is prepared and resilient in the face of disaster, disease and food insecurity. Our SANA Guatemala programme helped young Mayan women from communities across Guatemala participate as traditional health builders. They held regular clinics in their communities, educating people on how to prevent common diseases affecting indigenous communities. They also trained others in these skills, helping restore threatened traditional knowledge and creating a strong base of indigenous women’s health leadership in Guatemala, impacting 12,100 people. Our Food for Life programme delivered emergency food parcels to 475 chronically malnourished children and women. Moreover, community gardens created using traditional, sustainable methods helped 6,200 people improve food security and mitigate the threats of climate change.
## **Human Rights and Empowerment**
AMOR believes that one of the most effective ways to bring about positive, profound and permanent change in indigenous communities is to support human rights education for young people and women. Our efforts also focus on supporting Mayan human rights defenders and their vital work, and on campaigning for justice alongside those communities that continue to be devastated by the effects of genocide.
In the past year, 120 indigenous young people’s knowledge of human rights increased, and their leadership skills improved. These young people, in turn, disseminated this knowledge to their communities, impacting 7,600 people. Awareness of our justice campaign also expanded, while 40 indigenous women human rights defenders received vital security training, a knowledge that they transmitted to their organisations and communities, impacting around 3,800 people.

**Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
- **Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions **examiner’s statement** given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
- have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
