## REPORT OF ACTIVITIES
added one class from age 4-5 years, so they now have 3 classes of 25 children each bringing their total number of students to 75 children. The organisaZon is sZll on track to launch the first class of primary school by September 2023. They conZnue to support over 200 former street children with school fees. The project currently raises funds from individuals through crowdfunding, corporates, and NGOs mainly those who already have a connecZon with Rwanda.
The role for EDD in terms of raising funds and awareness for EDD Rwanda is becoming more criZcal. The organisaZon has setup an account with JustGiving with the hope that its supporters and ambassadors can donate or hold fundraisers (for marathons and other sporZng endeavours etc.) The trustees have decided against holding an event right now in favour of online crowdfunding campaigns. EDD trustees have recognised that the operaZonal costs are fairly high commensurate to the donaZons and income coming in and have taken measures to reduce costs (e.g. audiZng and accounZng fees) by changing service providers.
## RESERVES POLICY

## LiabiliZes and provisions
LiabiliZes are recognised when there is an obligaZon at the Balance sheet date, as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in sellement, and the amount of the sellement can be esZmated reliably.

Provisions are measured at the best esZmate of the amounts required to selle the obligaZon. Where the effect of the Zme value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.

3. CriZcal accounZng esZmates and areas of judgment
EsZmates and judgments are conZnually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectaZons of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
## CriZcal accounZng esZmates and assumpZons:

However, the trustees are of the opinion that there are no esZmates and assumpZons that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabiliZes within the next financial year.
