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 147 children and young people with their education from Apr to Sept and 137 from Sept to March. This covers students at university, secondary and primary schools. 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). |

| Investment performance against objectives |
Para 1.41 | Without the financial support given by Hope in Burundi, through Restoration of Hope, more than 100 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. |

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.
