Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

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	During this period, Restoration of Hope was able to support 136 children and young people with their education. Of the 136, 10 were at University, 76 at Secondary School and 50 at Primary School. 75 children get their education and are also supplied with one meal per day. 50 children/young people live in the homes that Restoration of Hope run or support and children in these homes get three meals a day and all living expenses covered (food, medicines, clothes, transport, etc).

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	We have given grants regularly throughout the year to pay for education, equipment, uniforms and everyday living costs.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	The trustees have been creating a business plan, exploring grant funding opportunities, redesigning the website, etc. in preparation for a concerted fundraising campaign. In addition, we have attracted additional individual supporters, and some have increased the level of their financial support.
Investment performance against objectives	Para 1.41	Without the financial support given by Hope in Burundi, through Restoration of Hope, more than 136 children and young people would not be able to access education. The fact that they are in the classroom, learning and having success, is enabling them to make progress towards graduation, after which we trust they will go on to become employed citizens who will be agents of change in this country.
Other		A decision was made by the trustees in the course of the year that the charity would accept income from Stewardship (a charity that supports charities overseas by accepting donations from individuals). All monies received via Stewardship go to Restoration of Hope for general living costs for the children and young people that they support in Burundi. We started to receive income from Stewardshipin December 2020.
