Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	1. To relieve sickness and financial hardship in Kenya, especially of children and those affected by HIV/AIDS. Achieved mainly through rescue of abandoned babies and wherever possible placing them in loving adoptive families. 2. To advance the education of children and disadvantaged young people in Kenya. Achieved mainly through financing of learning centres in rural areas. 3. To collaborate with Christian churches and associated bodies in Kenya to fulfil their mission to promote the Christian faith and serve their communities.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	New Life Home Trust UK CIO (NLHT UK) raises funds from supporters in the UK in order to make grants to support the work of our partner organisation in Kenya, New Life Home Trust (NLHT-K). A central activity of NLHT-K is the rescue of abandoned babies, some of whom are affected by HIV/AIDS. After addressing their immediate medical needs, efforts are made to place the rescued children in loving adoptive families. There are currently 4 baby rescue centres at different locations in Kenya – Nairobi, Nyeri, Nakuru and Kisumu. At any one time up to 150 babies and toddlers can be cared for in these homes. Children who are not adopted are cared for in separate homes for boys and girls in Kisumu under the supervision of housemothers. The older children being cared for include a group of about 12 having special needs, physical and/or learning difficulties. Some of these children now attend local mainstream schools. Grants from the UK are directed at the cost of running these homes. A total of about 160 local staff are employed by NLHT-K including carers, cleaners, groundsmen, and cooks. At some homes there are also specialist staff including teachers, social workers, and an occupational

		therapist. Wages account for over 70% of costs as the organisation seeks to treat staff fairly and comply with Kenyan Government advisory minimum wage levels. Grants from NLHT UK also contribute towards the cost of school fees for the older children. Grants are also made towards the funding of education and feeding for children in rural areas through a network of learning centres in the eastern part of Kenya. In addition, some grants are also made to support the work of Christian churches in these rural areas as they seek to present the Christian gospel and serve their communities. These activities are administered under the auspices of Barnabas Ministries Africa (BMA), a body associated with NLHT-K
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	In making grants towards activities in Kenya, the Trustees of NLHT UK consider that they are working in accord with the guidance on public benefit requirement issued by the Charity Commission.

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	In 2021 of the £96,111.19 allocated to Kenya as grants, 44.2% was from our Sponsor a Cot scheme plus other undesignated donations allocated towards meeting the costs of running the homes, conducting baby rescue and organising adoptions. A further 23.5% was raised through the child sponsorship scheme (Sponsor Our Children) to be used towards meeting the costs of care and education for these children, including those with special needs. In addition, 21.3% was allocated to specific projects, the income coming from a variety of donations, small and large, and money raised by supporters organising fund- raising events. Projects included: • Donations for IT equipment for several of the homes. One of our UK supporters has spent considerable time improving the systems to improve internal and external communications. • Initiatives towards the care of the staff during the pandemic. • Provision of Oxygen for critical ill babies and children in a couple of the homes. • Funding of additional school fees 11.0% of the funds transferred to Kenya (£10,595.26) were allocated to the work of Barnabas Ministries Africa (BMA). The main uses of these funds in 2021 were (a) sponsorship of the education of children in two rural centres, (b) feeding programmes for children attending schools at 2 locations in Kenya, (c) the support of staff at one of these schools, and (d) financial support to assist church Pastors in several villages in eastern Kenya as well as providing them with training.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The end of financial year balance was £51,678.65 with an additional £2,235.14 reserves. The balance in the current account mostly represents donations to be transferred to Kenya. The Independent Examiner's Statement and Report indicate that he is happy with the charity's finances and has no concerns about them.

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	The main source of income is donations from individual supporters in the UK. Many supporters Gift Aid their donations and in 2021 Gift Aid recovery amounted to 8.48% of total income. Total income in 2021 was significantly up on the previous year, and this was due to a few significant one-off donations one of which was for a very specific project. However, various efforts continue to be made to increase regular donations and widen the supporter base.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	We work actively to maintain and extend the current donor base and to fund raise towards specific needs.
Other		We continue to make all efforts to keep UK costs to a minimum so that the maximum amount can be devoted to grants for the work of our partner organisation in Kenya. In 2021 total UK costs were 13.5% of total income, although this was more than £800 than the expenses for 2020. Hence the costs for 2021 were below the 15% of total income target set by the Trustees, based on their decision implemented in 2015 to retain 15% of income to meet UK costs, so that 85% of all income can be granted to Kenya. This was due to the effect of those significant one-off donations, hence, we must keep our UK costs under constant review, along with the steps to increase our regular donation income.
