CHARIS MINISTRIES
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
APRIL 1. 2023, TO MARCH 31, 2024
Charis Ministries {Charis} is a registered Charity (1154811) with the Charities Commission
(England). (It was first registered in December 2013.)
The Trustees hereby report that the work of Chari5 has continued without interruption, and
it has been able to fulfil its objertives:
To bring hope into lives and communities, and
To encourage people in the Christian faith in the United Kingdom, and its
operational countrie5
We continued to build and consolidate our relationships. and to work with existing partners
in our operational countries (England, Pakistan. Rwanda, and ma￿dOn[a}.
One mission trip to Rwanda Trustees was undertaken in the year. This included all three of
the Trustees. The visit proved to be very fruitful, especially in the area of Government
relationships. and to review possible school building projects as part of future activities.
The Trustees continued to make extensive use of video conferencing in managing work
programs, both among themselves and in our operational locations with our Local Country
Representatives and their teams.
In Pakistan:
The Bright Future School in Kasur, near Lahore, continues to be a key educational
project for us. Charis fully funds a free education for all children attending this
school. This school started in 2017, to provide a basic education to children and
youth in Kasur brick factory. In 2022 the school physically relocated into the local
community. In 2023/2024 there were 51 {2022 - 45) pupils in this school, which is
non-denominational.
The pupils at the school previousty had no ac￿SS to formal education. Our aim is to
enable them to take and pass Government exams and thereby gain admission into
both government and private schools.
Charis also has an educational support (scholarship) program ("Passionate Hearw).
The goal is to fully fund the education of children/youth of very low-income families.
In the Yearthe￿ were twelve beneficiaries in the program. including two in
university.
Charis continued its program forwidows in need, via our Za￿Phath project. The
primary purpose is financial assistance for medical needs. There are also regular
group prayer and support meetings with the women in the progrdm. Most of the
women are not employable due to age or disability. The projett began in 2019 and
continues to make a meaningful difference to the health, and therefore the lives of
these women.
In 2023/2024 Charis assisted and sponsored three bible schools (52 students) in or
nearthe Lahore metropolitsn area.

In R￿Trnda..
Charis continued its Health Support project {"Ubuzima"). in cooperation with the
local government in the Sake sector, Ngoma District, Eastern Province. The goal of
this project is to provide full aC￿SS for extremely poor families into the Rwanda
health insurance program. Many families simply cannot afford to pay the annual
insurance premium. In 2019 we began to fully fund enrolment in the Rwanda
Government health Insuran￿ scheme. For the 2023/24 year we supported 2,0
people including children (2022/23 was 1400). This has provided a major
breakthrough for about 400 families.
The Bright Future Nursery School at Gafunzo (Sake) started in late 2021.
At the request of the Local Government, a second Bright Future Nursery School at
Kibonde (Sake) was successfully started in May 2023.
Both schools, which are fvlly funded by Charis. cater to the 3 to 6 years age group,
focusing on Early Child Development {ECD}. The aim is to prepare the children for the
Government primary school system which begins at age 7. Local government has
been very proactive in its cooperation on this project and does provide the buildings
for the schools to operate in. Pupil numbers for 2023/2024 was 156 children12022 -
44).
In Macedonia, we maintained close relationships with the Evangelical Church of Ma￿don13
and executives of two companies. from a prayer and mentoring perspective.
The financial status of Charis strengthened during the year. Thi5 has been due to the efft)rts
of the Trustees, and our financial supporters. Although donations were down by 23Yo as
compared to the previous year, however. they were sufficient to cover expenditure level5.
Expenditures were at a record high. please see the attached analysis. Charis is well
positioned going forward to enhance and expand its projerts. especially for its educational
and community support programs.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper records which disclose with reasonable
accuracy the financial position of the Charity and enable them to have reasonable
satisfaction that the financial statements comply with acceptable accounting standards and
the requirements of the Charities Commission. They are also responsible for safeguarding
the Charity's assets and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detectlon of
fraud, and breaches of regulations.
The Trustees believe they have satisfactorily managed the resources of the Charity in terms
of time, finanos. and people. There were regular meetings of the Trustees and with the
Local Representatives in our operational countries, to manage our activities in the best
interest5 of the Charity and its aims.
