|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|During this period, Restoration of Hope was able to<br>support 136 children and young people with their<br>education. Of the 136, 10 were at University, 76 at<br>Secondary School and 50 at Primary School.<br>75 children get their education  and are also supplied<br>with one meal per day.<br>50 children/young people live in the homes that<br>Restoration of Hope run or support and children in<br>these homes get three meals a day and all living<br>expenses covered (food, medicines, clothes, transport,<br>etc).|

|Investment performance<br>against objectives|Para 1.41|Without the financial support given by Hope in Burundi,<br>through Restoration of Hope, more than 136 children<br>and young people would not be able to access<br>education.
