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

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.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against

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

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.| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
